I'm curious to learn if it stems from name "Aaron", the <i>Kohen Gadol</I>, the Jewish high priest, who was said to be a <i>Rodef Shalom</i>, literally a person who chases after others to make peace between them. Judaism even learns from him that it's permissible to tell a white lie in order to bring about peace; for example, one may speak separately to each member of a squabbling couple, and tell them that the other spouse confided to him that they were remorseful and wanted to make peace but were too ashamed to do so.
