Biography
Aris was normally mute, as were all Kinda males, and communicated with other Kinda by telepathy.
Aris's brother was taken hostage by the human expeditionary force in retaliation for the mysterious disappearances of three of their number. This allowed the Mara to tempt Aris and possess his body. While under its influence, Tegan climbed up a tree and dropped apples on Aris's head. The Mara inside her then exploited his desire for retaliation to transfer itself from Tegan to him. Under the Mara's influence, Aris gained the power of speech.
Using Aris as a host, the Mara attacked the base of the expeditionary force. They trapped him within a circle of mirrors and the Mara was forced from his body. Aris was pulled free and the Mara was killed as it left him. (TV: Kinda)
