Brief History: Aramis loves and intrigues women, which fits well with the opinions of his time regarding Jesuits and abbots. He is ambitious and unsatisfied: as a musketeer, he yearned to become an abbé; but when an abbé he wished for the life of the soldier. He became a musketeer because of a woman and his arrogance: as a young boy whose (plausibly genuine) ambition was to become an abbé, he had the misfortune to be caught and thrown out of a house, while (innocently or not) reading to a young woman. For a year, he practiced fencing, every day with the best master swordsman in town to get his revenge. By the time he came back to confront the man who had mistreated him, he had become such an expert swordsman that the fight only lasted a couple of seconds. Because duels were forbidden by royal edict and Aramis was a novitiate, he had to disappear and adopt a very low profile, which led him to enlist in the musketeers corp.
Aramis seems to be lucky, but it is only a result of his Machiavellian plans and his audacity; every step forward must be used to climb to even greater power.
Despite his Machiavellian attitude, Aramis holds very firmly to the sacred concept of friendship. In fact, the only wrong moves Aramis ever made were done when he refused to harm a friend (or a friend's feelings).
When Marius found him, Aramis was largely dependent on gold from wealthy mistresses to survive, as military pay was low and infrequent.
