Æon Flux is the title character of the Æon Flux cartoon series. She acts as an independent contractor for espionage and assassination. Æon is the only character which appears in every episode (including the shorts) of the series.

Basic Information

In the pilot short, Æon is clearly allied with some kind of organization (presumably a group of Monican rebels). This is enforced by the scene at the end of the pilot where she dies and someone at a control panel vaporizes her belongings. However, as the series progressed, Æon developed into an independent character that has motivations of her own. Because she isn't bound by the mission of a group, those motivations are a mystery.

Æon's Deaths

In the Æon Flux shorts, Æon died at the end of every episode. This became something of a thematic element that served both as a satire on Mary Sue action heroes and as a definitive end to the story. She died for sure once in the main series (although an exact clone replaces her) and may have been killed in a later episode, but it is left ambiguous.

Memorable Moments

Trivia

  • The voice of Æon was modeled after Geneviève Bujold, an acclaimed French-Canadian actress. During casting, many of the voice actresses had strong accents (including Romanian, British and eventually French-Canadian). However, because none of the actresses gave an audition that completely fit the character, producers instead decided to focus on an "I'm not from around here, deal with it" attitude for the voice instead of an accent.
