Aran Jainukul

Aran Jainukul is a teenage delinquent and the future Red Ranger of Power Rangers: Shadow Ops.

Biography
Aran comes of Thai ancestry, though his mother is half-Caucasian. His father worked for Ivory Tower Resources, but he was killed in a mysterious attack when Aran was still a child. The event, and the fact that Ivory Tower got out of paying life insurance through a loophole, left Aran with deep resentment towards the company. The family struggled to get by on odd jobs, and Aran fell in with a bad crowd. He dropped out of high school and began committing crimes, eventually working through a man named Franklin, who had connections to the Zigli family.

Aran was hired to rob an office in an Ivory Tower building, which he was only too happy to do. However, when he got inside he discovered someone else was already there--a group of mysterious men in jumpsuits who attacked him. He was saved by a man dressed as a janitor. On his way out, he witnessed two Power Rangers pursuing one of the men. Curious, he followed and saw the man using unnatural powers to escape. The Yellow Ranger took Aran into custody shortly after that.

Aran was taken back to the Rangers' base to be questioned. There, they made him an offer: help them find out more about the strangers, and they'd clean up his police records. He agreed and went out on the street again to learn more. Unfortunately, the Zigli family was already aware of his digging, and they sent his old friend Josh to ghost him. Aran fled, and would have gotten away if he hadn't stopped to save an old lady from being crushed by a falling telephone pole. He took a severe beating, and passed out after the Rangers arrived to fight.

Personality
A teenage delinquent. He’s very cocky, loud and arrogant, with a tendency to get into trouble because he doesn’t know when to shut up. He’s got a good heart, though, and hates seeing people get bullied.
