Very interesting theory I read on Aaron's character, it seems dead on. Or well at least the best theory I've heard so far.
It might have already been mentioned as I haven't been following this thread as closely, sorry if it was! But if not:

Note: Debated about keeping in spoiler tags or not. It's a discussion topic so it really shouldn't be, but personally I found the points to be so strong it's difficult to seriously consider any other options in its place now (I kind of regret reading it)... So I figured I'd rather be safe than sorry, don't want to ruin anyone's fun.

3. It explains why both Christian and Claire are trying to help Jacob.
4. Claire would only abandon Aaron in the jungle if it would help him later as part of a larger course correction.
5. Explain's Claire's comfort and smile in the cabin.
