* ARareSentence:
-->'''Wil:''' Dungeon Master, friends, assembled nerds. I'm forty years old. I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons since the Red Box set in 1981, 82, 83, somewhere around there in my life. It is safe to say that I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons for a minimum of 20 years, possibly longer, maybe closer to 30 years. [[ARareSentence I'm gonna say something I have never said.]] I have gone against the giants, I've been killed in the Tomb of Horrors, I have visited the Temple of Elemental Evil, and of course, there is not a single square in the Cave of Chaos that I have not crawled through. One time I talked to a wizard named Bargle, and I have never said the following words: [[ItMakesSenseInContext I will climb up the asshole.]]
* BerserkButton: Don't call him "Al".
-->'''Wil:''' [[CatchPhrase His name is]] '''AEOFEL!!!'''
* CatchPhrase: Often says [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "My name. Is. AEOFEL!"]] when people call him "Al," and also would like to remind us all that "Elves are the Eladrin's hillbilly cousins." Out of character, Wil also declares his catchphrase to be "Does nineteen work for you?"
* TheIntern: Aeofel, which is actually funny because he is a lot more serious than the rest of the party. He generally balances the others' crazy antics.
* MyNameIsInigoMontoya: Aeofel usually introduces himself to his enemy before he swears his Oath of Enmity. Which he does ''a lot''.
* NeverLiveItDown: In-universe, Aeofel gets reminded of his trip to the acid pit in season 3 at every opportunity´ by everyone, including the DM and the audience at the live games.
* NoodleIncident: How and why Aeofel left the party.
* RousingSpeech: When Gygax the cat and his undead hamburger minotaurs have ambushed the party and things seem bad, Wil steps up.
-->'''Wil''': Listen -- I've been to hell. [[ToHellAndBack And back]]. And I did ''not'' go to hell and back to let some fucking ''cat'' come up here in ''my friend's house'' and tell my friend "me and my ''hamburger train'' are gonna take your books"! [''to Gygax:''] '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis FUCK! YOU!]]'''
* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: Aeofel begins to do a lot of very well described air flips in the PAX games for no apparent reason.
--> '''Mike:''' [[DeadpanSnarker You might have to do a roll for that]]
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes:
** When the party ventures to Hell. Aeofel, both in and out of character, has some post-traumatic stress to deal with from the last adventure.
--> '''Aeofel:''' Why did it have to be acid pits?! Couldn't it have been [[FunnyAneurysmMoment succubi]]?
** Even worse in the 2012 game, when the floor gives away to reveal another acid pit, that most of the party falls into, including Aeofel. Wil is upset enough to approach the the DM, prop weapon drawn.
