Aiden Messer

Aiden Messer is a main character in Codeword Danger. He is a senior agent of Helios and transferred from the British Headquarters to America when he was nineteen.

Early Life
Aiden Messer was born in London on April 4th, 1989. His father was a high-ranking agent of Helios, and his mother similarly worked as an Intelligent Researcher. His youngest sister, Marjolaine, also works within Helios, though her exact job description is unknown. Due to his parent's positions with Helios, Messer was similarly brought into the agency and raised to be a spy. After turning nineteen, he transferred to the American base alongside his childhood friend and fellow agent Ben Undenberg, as he hoped to escape his father's shadow.

After arriving in America, Messer met and fell in love with Rachel Woods, a reporter for Sims Weekly. With the director's approval, Messer revealed to Rachel his job and they got married after two years of dating. Upset at how dedicated Messer was with his job and how often he had to travel abroad due to it, Rachel began an affair with one of her colleagues. Messer eventually uncovered the affair and, after a few months of trying to make the marriage work, they divorced. Rachel moved out of their joint apartment in San Myshuno and into a small flat on the west side of the city.

Following the break up, Messer fell into a deep depression which worsened following the death of Ben, which he blamed himself for. As a result, he dedicated himself to his job as he felt it was his only purpose in life.

Appearance
Messer has light brown hair which he usually wears neatly combed. He has sky-blue eyes, a strong jawline and is slightly unshaved. He is reasonably tall at 6 foot and is muscular and lean. He has a scar on the back of his left hand from when he was bitten by a dog during his early training days. After Season 5, Messer's left leg was amputated due to infection from a gunshot wound and replaced with a prosthetic. Lucy describes his clothing style to be "basic" and "boring" - usually consisting of dress pants and a simple t-shirt.
