Well, that my opinion, but I think he's probably proud and eager to fight (being a good fighter habitually bring arrogance with the talent), so if things could be settle by a duel, I don't think he would refuse. But I don't think he's cruel as Aegon, he just has some superiority feeling because of his skills and, you know, the fact that he's the heir to Aegon.

It's maybe my perception of the family, but I always imagined Aerion the proud fighter who want glory, Jaehaerys the calm and competent one, Aegon the more fun and kind that everyone in the family liked, and Vaemond, well, he's the lazy but good guy, the weaklin of the four. From what I saw, he was raised by Aegon with Jaehaerys, if it help.

There is also the possibility that succeding to Aegon could be a lot of pressure for him. After all, even if he's the great warrior of the 4 sons, when compared to his father, he's less than competent (all his stats are below the stats of Aegon). Maybe it's for that reason he search for glory and recognition.

For those too lazy to read that text, here are the key ideas: never refuse a duel, in search of glory, arrogant to some point, eager to prove himself, complexe of inferiority when compared to Aegon. That's how I see Aerion.
