In the manga Saint Seiya Episode G, parts of Aioros' past were revealed. He was a friend of Garan's, who eventually became a servant for his younger brother, Aiolia. Garan and Aiolia once had a stand-off, after the Gold Saint caught him attempting to steal Athena's holy blood. Other pieces of Aioros' past include him destroying Typhon's spirit as it awoke; as well as single-handedly defeating the Sun Army, Horus' warriors.In various parts of Episode G, Aioros' spirit appears from time to time to guide his little brother. In a flashback, it was Aioros who forbid Aiolia to use a newly developed attack, the "Photon Burst", as he deemed it to be too dangerous of a technique.

Since both and Saint Seiya Episode G are not authored by Masami Kurumada, their status as canon is unknown.

Notes

*Even though most fans recognize his given name as Aiolos, the true intention of Masami Kurumada was to name him "Aioros", a Japanization the name of the Greek god of the winds Aiolos. This can be confirmed in vol.11 of Kurumada's manga, in Aioros' testament. Kurumada drew capitalized Greek letters spelling the character's name as "Aioros" : ΑἸΟῬΟΣ. He clearly used a "R" instead of an "L", in the spelling of the name. If he had wanted to spell it Aiolos, he would have drew them as: Αἴολος or ΑἸΟΛΟΣ. Some attribute the discrepancy to the fact that in Japanese, the letter "L" doesn't exist, and is replaced by the letter "R" in foreign words. The fandom in general is mostly familiarized with the more "Greek" spelling, Aiolos, though in some languages, such as in the Latin-American Spanish dub of the anime, the arguably more Kurumada-accurate "Aioros" is used.

*As revealed by Masami Kurumada in vol.12 of his manga, Aioros became a Gold Saint at an early age. He had already been granted the Gold Saint status and the Sagittarius Gold Cloth before the time he was 14 years old.
