In the 2011 video game Pandora’s Tower, what is the name of the protagonist who seeks a cure for Elena?

The story behind the answer

Aeron is the protagonist of the 2011 video game Pandora’s Tower, seeking a cure for Elena.

Pandora’s Tower is an action role-playing game developed by Ganbarion and published by Nintendo. Its story follows Aeron, a young man trying to save Elena after a curse transforms her into a beast. To break the curse, he must explore thirteen towers and collect the flesh of the monsters within them for Elena to consume.

The title draws on the Pandora myth through its themes of curses, forbidden transformation, and the consequences of opening or confronting dangerous forces. It is not a direct retelling of Hesiod’s story, and its characters are original to the game’s fantasy setting.

The game was released for the Wii in Japan and Europe in 2011, with a North American release following in 2013. Aeron’s name is therefore tied to a specific modern work inspired by the Pandora tradition, rather than to the ancient Greek myth itself.
