Aldin Ayreon-Kalirion

Zahir al Din Benjamin Rai Ayreon-Kalirion ibn al-Majeed bin Sathrati of Waffel-Paine, often known as Prince Aldin, (born 1630) is the second-eldest son of Kaiseress Noor and her late husband (and former Natopian emperor) Nathaniel. In Goldshire, he was Count of Yardistan, and in Natopia, he is Count of Macon Rapids. He is the Pentheros, or supreme head, of the Dozan Bovic Church, being elected as such by the Metrobosarchs in 1637.

Name

His name in Elw: Захир ал-Дин Бинямин Раи Аериоон-Калирион ибн ал-Мажид бин Сатрати Уофел-Пейн.

Zahir al Din is Babkhanized Arabic for "the manifestation of the faith" and honours Aldin's Babkhi roots (on both parents' side) as well as his faith, Bovinism, to which the name refers. Aldin, the name he goes by, is also a common Hurmu name, meaning "the old (i.e. wise) one", which also reflects his Hurm roots. Benjamin honours the cousin Benjamin (son of Jonathan) who died in infancy. Rai is a traditional Elw name, mostly associated with Rai Avon-El, and honours Aldin's Elwynnese roots.

His surname is composed of three parts: Ayreon-Kalirion, of the one dynastic house he belongs to, ibn al-Majeed bin Sathrati for his association with the emirate of Sathrati and the Simrani branch, and Waffel-Paine for his Natopian dynastic house.
