The original Ion was EVIL!! In a Tales manga (Which wasn't even past Choral Castle yet) I was reading on
Manga fox it had a bonus chapter about the first Ion. He was shown calling people trash, murdering who I think was one of his other
replicas, and asking Van if he make
Arietta his pet. There was one point he told Arietta that if she became weak she would be discarded right away.
But at the end on the day he died he realized what Arietta thought of him and what she was to him.
(on the Arietta link if you go back a page you can see Arietta biting Ion's arm.)
Ok I admit his evilness might have been because the score said he would die at the age of 12 but I still wanted to post it and get it off my chest.
