Commander in the Forces of Nature |
Arlon the Serene (静寂のアロン Seijaku no Aron, "Aron the Silent") is one of Viridi's commanders of the Forces of Nature.
He is a cunning, polite gentleman who voices respect to Palutena, despite the two being on opposite sides. He is stationed on the Lunar Sanctum, a moon-like structure that is fueled by his power, and thus is the jailer of the Chaos Kin.
He is voiced by Troy Baker in the English version of Kid Icarus: Uprising.
Characteristics[]
Appearance[]
Concept art of Arlon from Uprising.
Arlon is an elegant, lanky man with violet skin and pointed white hair, and a long mustache to match. Being quite tall, he stands at a height of around 8'3" (252 cm[1]), and he wears futuristic-looking attire that resembles a black suit, adorned by golden clasps and a golden brooch affixed to his chest. He also wears elaborate white gloves that release purple flames from the cuffs, pointed shoes, and a gold-rimmed monocle on his left eye.
Personality[]
Arlon is depicted as a calm, suave individual. He has a strong sense of loyalty to Viridi and the Forces of Nature, so much so that he only allows Viridi to negotiate all battle plans. Ever the gentleman, Arlon prefers to settle disputes with civility, only resorting to violence when all other options are exhausted. He is also a skilled persuader, able to easily convince the strong-willed Dark Pit into defending the Lunar Sanctum.
Abilities[]
Despite his refined personality, Arlon is a powerful opponent for Pit. Arlon's lunar powers allow him to levitate, fire bolts of energy at opponents, and darken the environment to claim the element of surprise. He can also attack opponents with spikes from below. Arlon's powers appear to be vast as they fuel the Lunar Sanctum.

Chapter 13: The Lunar Sanctum[]
Viridi commands Arlon to protect the Sanctum from the likes of Pit so that the Chaos Kin does not get loose. Oblivious of the threat the Chaos Kin poses, Pit carries on through the Sanctum to Arlon.
Arlon himself has the ability to obscure Pit's view by darkening his surroundings and shoot at him while in dim lighting. Pit must attack in the direction of Arlon's shots in order to defeat him or wait until the darkness is lifted. Once Pit defeats Arlon, the Lunar Sanctum is destroyed, and the Chaos Kin breaks free.
Idol Description[]
Arlon[]
Master of the Lunar Sanctum and a commanding officer of the Forces of Nature. Arlon styles himself as a reticent butler, discreetly working from the shadows to serve his goddess, Viridi.
Trophy Information[]
A suave commander of the Forces of Nature, Arlon resides within the Lunar Sanctum. Compared to Viridi, he is very tall. You could say he has the ear of Viridi, but he has to lean down pretty far to reach it. Despite his refined appearance, Arlon is capable of holding his own in combat.
Quotes[]
- "Why on earth would I be attacking? I'm far too busy...defending, my dear." - When Palutena accuses him of preparing the Lunar Sanctum for an attack

Trivia[]
- It is unknown if Arlon is still alive after the Lunar Sanctum is destroyed. However, because Viridi refers to him in the present tense,[2] and because she refers to her commanders in plural even after the defeat of Phosphora,[3] it is likely that he still is.
- Arlon shares his English voice actor, Troy Baker, with Pyrrhon.
- Arlon's character trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS reveals that his vicious nature was so extreme that "that apparently the opposing Underworld Army even tried to recruit him!".
- Like most other Kid Icarus-related trophies in the game, his trophy is not included in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
