Aldon II was acquired by the Tigers in an attempt to subvert the vaulting process. Unfortunately, they were only able to get Aldon II, the replica, which did leave vim as the first replica to be around for a full season instead of only a latesiesta.
- AKA Counterfeit, Aldeaux, Alldon, Aldos.
- Aldon II resembles the original, but is visibly more puppet/facsimile than person. Ve has a similar fashion sense, fancy long coats and stylish suits. Ve wears vis hair in longer dreads made of coins than the original, and vis wings resemble a phoenix.
- There were mixed feelings amongst the team about Aldon II, some feeling they should use this chance to say goodbye, others disenchanted that ve was not the original. Aldon II vimself also felt conflicted about being used as another person. It took some time to sort this out, but the team eventually rallied around giving Aldon II the best experience possible as a Tiger, regardless of vis replica status. (prompted by Aldon II receiving sunglasses from community chest)
- Aldon II has sort of a hazy recollection of Aldon's memories, but it was broken to vim early that ve was not the original. The replicas starting off as a 'factory default' but personality diverging more over time with experience.
- Developed friendships with Paula Mason (based off on-field partnership) and Ayanna Dumpington (based off giving her vis ring as original Aldon) in particular.
- Was told about what would happen (dusting) by Zion and Hiroto.
- Complex relationship with III - fraught at first due to being confronted with a very real assessment of how ve had degraded over the season. The two of them worked things out over time and developed a very close friend/mentorship, though always with an undercurrent of... being reminded that they're each replacements or, for III, what the future has in store.
- This does not stop them from imitating/impersonating each other to pull pranks on the team. They also got matching tattoos in solidarity, knowing this will be the only time they ever get to play together.
- The farewell for the Aldons II and III was a ride in the styx wiggler on maximum wiggle.
