After taking revenge on the clergyman, Aidan became Bishop's right hand and aided him until the 1950s when he no longer believes in Bishop's conviction to the vampire cause and decides to resist the urge to feed upon humans. While in Montreal in the 1970s, Aiden meets Celine and had a relationship with her.

The two later become room mates with a mutual intent to fit back into society. The series begins with Aidan relapsing into his blood drinking ways with fellow nurse Rebecca, Aidan forced to call Bishop and Marcus to clean up his unintentional murder before later learning they turned Rebecca into a vampire. While organizing a neighborhood watch association to deal with a local vandal, Aidan ends up catching the attention of a police officer who is the son of a man he had killed in the past. Though he tried to erase the officer's memory of him so Bishop could not turn him, Aidan later learns of the officer's suicide.
