Who was the 'real' Aaron?


Before Norton's character Aaron/Roy was arrested, i.e. while he was living in the church place, was he living his life as Aaron, Roy, or somebody else? Depending on the answer, I have lots of additional questions.

This is a kind-of-cool movie on its own, but it doesn't seem to hold up to questions about Norton's background.

It seemed pretty obvious to me that Aaron was invented by Roy once he got caught. It was his brilliant way of escaping justice, and it worked.

Before the the murder he is and always has been Roy.

In my opinion Aaron (who was probably not even called Aaron--that's not even his real name) was the psychopath.
A psychopathic killer,a total manipulator.
