In 4,400 Before the Battle of Yavin, Jedi Seer Nar'del prophesized the coming of the Harbinger in the distant future, that would hail the beginning of the end for all. Nar’del tried to convince the Jedi Council that he saw would come to pass. However many on the Jedi Council were not convinced, as if something like that would have been seen by them, and not an old man who spends all his time going over old books in the Jedi archives. Nar’del saw that the only hope for future of the Jedi would be in his hands. The Grey Jedi set off into the galaxy to find a way to prevent his prediction from coming true. He allowed the Force to guide his way, and was never seen again.

=== Early Years ===
}}
[[Image:Pelagia_Symbol-fairuse.jpg|left|frame|House Pelagia Symbol]]
Ashura Isradia was born Ashura Jared Konden, on the sixth day of Helona during the Shelova Week Festival. He was raised by his mother and father, Baroness Miya Brakus-Konden and Baron Jared Konden, on the planet Pelagon in the Pelagia Province of the Tapani Sector. Miya’s father, Lord Krous Brakus, had been a [[Jedi Knight]] of the Jedi Order and had been killed during the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Great_Jedi_Purge Great Jedi Purge.]
 
Ashura achieved incredible prescience, enhanced physical and metaphysical perception at an early age. This proved to in invaluable, as at the age of seven his father made him go through the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agoge agoge.] A rigorous education and training regime undergone by the noble families Konden and Brakus of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/House_Pelagia House Pelagia.]
 
=== Rise and Fall of the Jedi ===
 
Ashura survived those long odious years due to his connection to the Force, and once graduated the young man left Pelagon to join the newly established Jedi Academy as a Jedi Initiate. He was given a blue training saber to learn the art of lightsaber combat and it didn't take him long to master the training form. The Jedi proved to be highly trained and skilled and was promoted to Jedi Apprentice. He eventually was promoted to [[Jedi Knight]] for help defeating the Disciples of Ragnos. However Ashura had to rely on his agoge training to survive, and this caused him to feel the power of the Dark Side. His next six years as a Jedi Knight caused him to walk the fine line between the Light Side and Dark Side. The Dark Side finally won.
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood ===
 
Ashura left the Jedi Order and joined the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] as an [[Initiate]]. He arrived at [[Antei]] where he attended the [[Shadow Academy]]. He achieved the rank of [[Apprentice]], and was transferred to [[Clan Satal Keto]] (which later merged with [[Clan Exar Kun]] to become [[Clan Plagueis]]). The Dark Jedi was promoted through the ranks. Ashura eventually became the Apprentice to Dark Adept Jonaleth Isradia, and through his tutelage he grew more powerful. Jonaleth wasn't surprised when his Apprentice asked about joining House Isradia. Ashura believed that his agoge teaching would give House Isradia a unique quality that it lacked. Jonaleth agreed and made him the Panarch of Tol Mustanen. However the Iperion resisted Ashura ousting, as the Grand Duke was unable to publicly make an appearance to ratify the proclamation. The previous Panarch went rogue in rebellion and formed an alliance with [[Isabelle Lutah]] for support, believing that Ashura had killed Jonaleth in a power play. However, Isabelle double crossed and killed him. House Lutah then took control of Tol Mustanen. Ashura confronted Isabelle in Tol Mustanen and her defeated. However instead of killing her, he tortured her in the city square and subdued the woman into renounce her title and leadership of House Lutah. To further humiliate Isabelle, she became a Bondsman in the Imperial House and assigned to Tol Mustanen. Ashura then forced her to undergo the female version of agoge training.
 
Tol Mustanen once again under the control of the [[Imperial House Isradia]], and Ash was rewarded by attaining the new title of Viscount. As well as achieving the rank of [[Dark Jedi Knight]] and constructed his lightsaber. He swore that he would continue to see Jonaleth as his Master. Knight Isradia continued to serve Clan Plagueis, but eventually began to have visions of a male figure cloaked within a ring of fire in the darkness of the abyss, a symbol of death and resurrection. Ashura would have consulted his Master on these visions but he found himself wanting to discover the meaning this on his own and transferred to [[Rogue]], where he spent most of that time trying to see deeper into [[the Force]] to understand these visions.
 
The visions led to Ashura joining [[Clan Arcona]], where he believed that the Arconan [[Shadowcrafting]] abilities was the reason the Force led him here. He quickly learned the basic skill of Shadowcrafting and choice the path of Inner Darkness. Ashura had slowly gained standing among his new House. He became [[Rollmaster]] of [[House Oriens Obscurum]], and then later on [[Aedile]]. The Sith was also promoted into the [[Equite]] class with the rank of [[Sith Warrior|Warrior]]. However after a while the visions of death kept plaguing the Aedile, who was unable to find an answer. Ashura saw his death at the hands of his Master on the backwater world of Tatooine. He couldn’t believe that this vision was true but found that he needed to find out.
 
=== The Coming Darkness ===
 
The Warrior transferred out of Arcona and traveled to the Outer Rim. He arrived at Tatooine and began searching for Master Isradia, but could not sense Jonaleth. He knew the vision had to been false. He planned to leave the planet when he sensed a powerful Light Jedi who had been on Tatooine the same time as the Sith Warrior. It turned out to be Light Adept Erickholm Isradia, Master Isradia's twin brother. The two Jedi faced each other on the sands, and just like in the Equite’s vision, battled each other. Ashura refused to be an easy kill, but in the end he was no match for the Adept. Erickholm's lightsaber pierced his chest, slaying the Darksider. The Light Adept then departed knowing that he had killed one of his brother’s apprentices.

Dark Adept Jonaleth Isradia foresaw the death of his Apprentice at the hands of his twin brother, and departed for Tatooine to intercept Ashura, but an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_storm Ion Storm] prevented the <i>[[Isradia|Belistener]]</i> (a Vardorian Light Cruiser) from reaching the Warrior in time.
'''Ashura Isradia Sadow''' was a [[Sith]] [[Warlord]] and [[Son of Sadow]]. He was also known as the '''Puppet Master of Sadow''' due to his sadistic nature of crushing the minds of his foes with the use of manipulation and [[starwars:Mind trick/Legends|malicious mind control]], then turning them into willing puppets to be used and discarded at will.


The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Duke Grand Duke] of Vardor retrieved the body of his fallen [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscount Viscount], although not directly as the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Anzat Anzat] was not fond of worlds like Tatooine. Upon seeing the deceased form of Ashura, the Dark Adept sensed a residue of life clinging on the very edge of the Abyss. Perhaps even enough to bring the slain Warrior back from the dead. The body was placed in [http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Cryostorage cryostorage] for the journey back to Vardor.
== Character History ==
{{Quote|You underestimate the Power of the Dark Side.|Darth Vader}}
=== Early Life (2 BBY to 13 ABY) ===


Once on the [[Isradia]] family homeworld, Ashura’s body was taken to the [[Isradia|Vaults of the Dead]]. Unfortunately, the Viscounts death had been reported to numerous of people, including his [[Isabelle Lutah|Handmaiden]]. None knew of Jonaleth’s plan, as the Vardorian Necromancer summoned all the other [[Isradia|Necromancers of the Ninth Order]] to come forth in resurrecting the fallen Isradia.
Ashura Megos and his twin sister, [[Atalanta Megos|Atalanta]], were born to Alexandros and Cassiopeia. The twins were [[starwars:Force-sensitive/Legends|Force-sensitive]], but their parents were not; fearing the Empire might want the twins for their potential, they kept moving around. The Megos family never stayed in one place for too long, and it remained like this for years until one fateful day. Their transport vessel malfunctioned and had to make an emergency landing on Tython. It seemed that a [[Jonaleth Isradia|Dark Side Adept]] had caused the failure; he had sensed the twins’ Force signatures and laid a trap. The Megos family escaped into the Tython wilderness. At the same time, the other passengers died; they were tracked down and killed too. Only the twins were kept alive; however, while Atalanta fled, Ashura was left behind and fell into his parents’ murderer's hands. The Dark Side Adept took the boy and raised him on Tython; Ashura’s upbringing forced him to forget about his parents and sister. As far as he knew, Tython was his home. His childhood consisted of twisted games and harsh lessons training him in the Force core abilities. Ashura also learned how to read and write, to survive and hunt in the wilderness, and basic medical techniques to dress his wounds. A pattern emerged: the boy would spend time training in the necessary Force abilities, being taught basic lore regarding the Dark Side of the Force, then leave on his own for months on end as survival training. It was during his teenage years that his time on Tython was coming to an end. He learned about the organisation his master was attached to and was deemed ready for his indoctrination.


Ashura’s Dark Jedi spirit meanwhile stood upon the threshold of the Abyss, refusing to let death completely take him. Like all people at one point in their lives, he was faced with a choice. As the Sith stared into Abyss, the Abyss stared into him revealing nothingness and yet everything. Everything came down to the fundamental element of who he was... and what he had become.
=== Brotherhood Indoctrination (13 ABY to 17 ABY) ===


In that moment of utter clarification Ashura choose what he had become, a Sith Warrior that possessed great anger that had all his life brought him to the brink of utter chaos and destruction! Who he had been before the Dark Side no longer existed, and all that remained was eternal Dark Path that his life had become consumed by. On that day it was destined for Ashura Jared Konden to pass into the Abyss, and for Ashura Isradia to be born anew as the fires of Resurrection claimed him.  
As an initiate, Ashura spent the majority of his time at the [[Shadow Academy]], an institution that takes Force-sensitive individuals as potential members and physically and mentally twists them into [[starwars:Dark Jedi/Legends|Dark Jedi]], then with proper training and testing watches as the most ruthless of them sacrifice the weaker ones to further progress down the path of the Dark Side. Ashura thrived in this environment, and it seemed his upbringing had prepared him for life at the academy. In his second year, he learned the basics of lightsaber combat and more advanced Force techniques that heavily focused on the use of the Dark Side of the Force. He became fascinated with [[starwars:Republic_Military/Legends|Old Republic military]] history. The tactics they used, the battles, the victories and the defeats they suffered were all very educational to him. Ashura knew the only way to succeed in the academy was to grow stronger, even if that meant killing to get ahead. It was only natural to form a temporary partnership with other initiates, which often helped against other such groups looking to get ahead. Ashura became quite talented in manipulating other students, and if that didn’t work, then he would use deception, intimidation and interrogation to achieve his goals. By the end of his time as an initiate, Ashura had become a cold and ruthless individual who saw those weaker than him as mere puppets to be used and discarded at will.


His body burned with life once again, but this time it had been tainted by the [[Jonaleth Isradia|Necromancers]] dark magic, and his time spent standing on the threshold of the Abyss. Ashura’s tanned skin faded away leaving it pale and almost unnatural. His dark blonde hair lost all pigmentation leaving it silvery/white, and his once dark blue eye now lit up with almost supernatural brightness. It was if part of him was still dead, which was partly true to a certain point of view. The Sith's changes and appearance were so unique that he could now be classified as [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Near-Human Near-Human.]
=== Sith Beginnings (17 ABY to 21 ABY) ===


The Sith turned to the [[Isradia|Etherites Tradition]] and [[Isradia|Iperion]] of Vardor to fill the void felt behind. To those who knew the raging man who bloodied and killed that Ashura had been before his death, will not know this man that returned to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. This half dead, half alive tainted soul that stood on the brink of oblivion and returned to tell the tale is not the Ashura Isradia remembered. This is someone else entirely.
Upon graduating from the Shadow Academy, Ashura joined his [[Clan Plagueis|master's clan]] as an [[Apprentice]]. Here, he experienced life as a clan member and once more found himself under his master’s tutelage. It was here Ashura chose to follow the path of the [[Sith]], as the thirst for power was all-consuming, and the knowledge he could learn from the [[Dark Side Adept]] seemed limitless. So he prostrated and subjected himself to his master’s twisted training, sinking deeper into the [[starwars:Code of the Sith/Legends|Sith doctrine]] to survive. Years passed by, and Ashura grew in talent and power, passing one odious trial after another before meeting the requirements that saw his promotion to [[Dark Jedi Knight]]. Upon achieving his knighthood, Ashura found himself adopted into his master’s family as a type of reward; he even legally changed his name from Ashura Megos to Ashura Isradia. However, the newly christened knight did not want to remain in the same clan as his master; he desired to spread his wings and achieve his goals. He spent two years bouncing from one group to another, trying to find the right clan that would help him achieve his goals. Ashura’s thirst for power was so great it even got him into trouble; he crossed the wrong people and had to face the [[Chamber of Justice]]. Luckily, he got off with a warning, but it made the Sith more cautious from that point onwards. It was a year after his cross with the [[Justicar]] he met [[Ashia|Ashia Keibatsu]], who managed to sway him into joining her [[Clan Naga Sadow|clan]].

=== Disciple of Sadow (21 ABY to 34 ABY) ===
[[Image:Seph-fairuse-pic.jpg|right|frame|Resurrection of the Abyssal Blacksmith]]


{{quote|If you stare into the abyss long enough the abyss stares back at you|Friedrich Nietzsche (19th-Century German Philosopher)}}
Upon joining Clan Naga Sadow, Ashura took up one of the vacant Envoy positions. It may not have been a seemingly important position of power, but it did allow the Sith to observe how the clan operated. The politics of the Sadow were split into two groups; the [[Disciples of Sadow]] and the [[Sons & Daughters of Sadow]], who were loyal to the Heir of Naga Sadow, [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]]. Ashura continued his role as Envoy until eventually becoming [[Aedile]] and later [[Quaestor]] of Marka Ragnos. Naga Sadow appeared to be the perfect place to build up his power, and the Sith ensured he would find like-minded individuals within the clan: allies, comrades, but never any friends. Friends were a weakness. During this point, he started to fine-tune the process of making his “puppets,” weak-minded fools who broke to his torture, interrogation and intimidation methods. He became fascinated with “reprogramming” these broken husks into obedient and expendable pawns using malicious, mind-altering Force techniques. During this time, he earned the nickname of “Puppet Master,” which would later change to “Puppet Master of Sadow.” Ashura’s greatest achievement was during his tenure as [[Proconsul]]. While he only held the position for a couple of years, his work and accomplishments were recognised by being granted the Son of Sadow title, and he was eventually promoted for it. When his time on the clan summit ended, Ashura turned to more personal interests; this included the taking of students. He finally agreed to take on an unaffiliated Dark Jedi from the Shadow Academy; who he got was [[Aleho Ruoxf]], a spunky young Tortuga. Despite his best efforts, he became attached to the girl and she to him. The Collective would later exploit this connection to his apprentice by luring him into a trap and replacing him with an imposter. While under the Collective’s care, he was experimented with and tested to help find methods to fight against Force users. When not strapped down, he would be facing off against Collective forces in a gladiatorial-style arena for them to hone their skills. He was eventually rescued a few years later by members of the [[Keibatsu]] family, who were assigned to investigate rumours about a shadow organisation.


<b>Fire</b> and <b>Abyss</b> --- One has the power to give life and other the power to take. But together, contained within a living vessel of flesh and blood, they exist as <em>one</em>.
=== Hiatus (34 ABY to 37 ABY) ===


The ability to bring harmony to those two aspects of chaos is the ability to forge the very nature of chaos itself, and bend it to your will. But there is the enigma itself --- <em>How does one bring order to chaos and create harmony?</em>
Ashura immediately took Aleho to learn from the [[starwars:Matukai|Matukai]] and [[starwars:Jensaarail|Jensaarail]] to learn from them and help fine-tune her Force abilities and broaden her mind. After a year of this, he began her real training, subjecting her to painful and lethal methods, making Aleho draw out her rage and use the Dark Side of the Force as a weapon and tool for her advancements. He focused her martial prowess, lightsaber skills and advanced Force techniques. Ashura sent regular reports to the Shadow Academy regarding Aleho’s progress. While on the hiatus from Clan Naga Sadow, he missed the Collective’s invasion and takeover of the Orian system. It was during this period many things happened to the Brotherhood; it was the end of one era and the beginning of a new one. Ashura joined the newly established [[Inquisitorius]] as an Apprentice Inquisitor. His reprogrammed drones, also known as puppets, were to be used as undercover operators for the AIN. When he deemed Aleho ready for her knighthood trials, he lured his apprentice into a trap; he had arranged for a group of Jedi Knights to discover her. He watched from afar as Aleho fought off the Jedi, using all her skills she had been taught, and eventually slaughtered all of them. Much like his master had done for him, the moment Aleho’s knighthood went through, he adopted her, although she decided not to change her name legally. Some months later, he received word that Clan Naga Sadow was planning to take back the Orian system.


That is the very question that Ashura Isradia has asked himself. That is the very answer that he seeks to find. For with it, the ability to forge those two aspect of chaos are his. When that day arrives stars shall tremble and worlds shall weep.

{{quote|I have seen his wrath and the misery it will cause.|A verse from the Seer’s Prophecy (below)}}


Prophecies may say one thing, but mean something else completely. This is the case with Jedi Seer Nar’del, who foresaw the birth of a tainted child that would destroy anything in his path. However, what the Seer did not fully see (or understand), that it was a rebirth of a demon wrapped in the flesh of a man that he had predicted.
==  Character Profile ==
{{Quote|The Force is strong in this one...."|Darth Vader}}
===  Personality  ===
Sadistic, cold and cruel would be a brief description of Ashura’s personality. The man was a sociopath that liked to see his victims suffer, either through torture, interrogation or murder. He enjoys twisting people into pawns to and using them for his plans. It made matters worse that he also had a high intelligence quotient; this made Ashura calculated and meticulous when it came to planning and details.


Ashura may look like a man, sound like a man, and even be Human by blood. His Dark Jedi essence has become something else entirely. He is a creature of darkness, a monster nurtured by the Void, and brought upon the physical plane by dark life-giving magic. But he is limited by the restrictions of being a man, and of the Human flesh. He can still be hurt, or worse, killed. And he is still flawed --- tempted by desires of love, anger, hate, ect. It is only a matter of time to see if the Harbinger of Death will fulfil the prophecy that predicted his arrival.
=== Physical Description ===
Ashura was an adult human with white hair and black eyes which become red when he taps into the Dark Side. Before going into any battle, he liked to apply Sith war paint to his face. The meaning of this was to intimidate and disconcert his opponents mentally. Lingering scars cover his body caused by his harsh training and from previous battles. Many of these were minor lightsaber wounds across his abdominal, vertebral and scapular during combat. The other scars on his arms and body were results of shrapnel during battle zones.

Initially after his resurrection and rebirth, Ashura spent time in [[Isradia|Tol Rothan]], the capital city of [[Isradia|House Isradia]], as he needed time to regain his strength and recuperate from the transition to the living. The Grand Duke realised that Ashura would need time before he able to get back on his feet, and summoned the Viscounts [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handmaiden Handmaiden] to care for her Master. Bondswoman [[Isabelle Lutah]] arrived at Tol Rothan, and was shocked to find that Ashura had been resurrected as she had been told previously that he had been killed.

This surprised Isabelle, as one of the first things he had done after he was strong enough was to caress her swollen belly and say in [[Isradia|Mardorin]], <i>“Son imtah itai porin, par, non quazan sak.”</i> These words were enough to let Isabelle know the depths of his feelings for her, as she repeated them back to Ashura.

Ashura returned to Brotherhood space and was offered a home in [[House Ludo Kressh]] of [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. The [[Sith Warrior]] joined thier ranks; it wasn't long before he took on a leadership role. Before his rebirth Ashura had been a member of the Society of Envoys, only this time he took on the role of Clan Envoy of Naga Sadow

However, everything began to change for the Reborn Sith; the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the combined forces of the six clans of the Brotherhood. None had been prepared for this and warnings of Antei's destruction from [[Darth Vexatus]] were ignored by the [[Star Chamber]].

Ashura had been aboard the House Ludo Kressh flagship, the ''Wandering Soul'', when the fighting started. The ship was boarded by enemy warriors who quickly eliminated the lesser [[Dark Jedi]] and crew. The Warrior argued with the Soul's commanding officer on how to deal with the vermin. He decided to take action and headed to engineering; there Ashura activated the fire suppression system and sent most of the Vong warriors into space along with half the crew and most of the [[House]] [[Journeymen]]. [[Quaestor]] [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] was not happy when she found out and became Ashura's rival after that. The ''Wandering Soul'' still had to be abandoned.

Ashura watched as [[Grand Master]] [[Sarin]] called for a retreat; Antei was lost to the Vong, and Ashura came to the decision that the Star Chamber's own arrogance led to Vexatus vision being discarded. Thier arrogance had been thier weakness... The weak didn't deserve to live, let alone rule. Isradia saw stronger leadership required and determined he would be the one to lead the Brotherhood into a new era.
'''[[Taigikori Aybara]]'''


Ashura saw the vacant [[Ravana Squadron]] Commander position as his opening. The cunning Sith manipulated the Clan Summit into letting him reestablish the training Battleteam. House Marka Ragnos Quaestor position opened up not long after Ashura became Battleteam Leader. The [[Sith]] applied for the position knowing his chance was slim; he was right as it went to the House Overlord; [[Dark Jedi Master]] [[Trevarus Caerick]]. However this wasn't such a drawback as Trevarus made Ashura his [[Aedile]]. He would get to learn from a Clan Elder; although Krath’s motive behind why Ashura had become his Aedile would remain a closely guarded secret.

Isradia worked well along side the Krath Master. Through Caerick Ashura began to learn about the [[Disciples of Ragnos]], and the Dark Doctrine of the [[Sith Lord]] of the same name; [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Marka_Ragnos Marka Ragnos].

* To be added
Ashura was awarded the rank of Knight First Class within the [[Society of Envoys]], as well as being promoted to a [[Sith Battlemaster]] due to his service as Clan Envoy, and the changes he brought about. He secretly used his new status in the society to keep a track on all new members incoming into his rival’s House. The Battlemaster focused more on the '''Rule of Two'''; although he was only a lesser Sith Master, a mere [[Equite]]. The near-human also started to slowly unlock the wisdom within the Dark Doctrine. The Sith’s plan’s nurtured as Ashura was appointed [[Quaestor]] of [[House Marka Ragnos]] by the new [[Consul]], the man whose job he replaced.
 
The Sith Battlemaster slowly began to plant the seeds of deception into the minds of certain members; one being to “suggest” Ludo Kressh’s Envoy, [[Tsingtao Ming]], into applying for the open Aedile spot, manipulating the Envoy to serve his purpose. His next move again his rival was to take Tsingtao’s replacement, [[Faeril Munlear]], and make her Aedile of House Marka Ragnos. The Knight showed potential and Ashura wanted to use her in his plans. The Battlemaster incorporated the Rule of Two mythology into the [[House Summit]]; one to embody the power (Quaestor), and the other to crave it (Aedile).
 
Ashura knew he could only trust Faeril with Clan and House related issues; he could only manipulate her so far without the Knight starting to question his motives. Isradia decided to bring in his Disciple, [[Sakura Haruno]], to be his “eyes” and “ears”. The girl was not part of the Dark Brotherhood and her cover was maintained as a Subcommander in D-SOG.
 
The Sith Battlemaster waited as his plan nurtured over time; Ashura sensed a greater deception then his at work within the Clan, his goal was insignificant to what was currently developing, although it could be said that his aims fitted into this. The Governor of [[Tarthos]] was not blinded by utter devotion to the Clan Overlord; this devotion was a chain, a chain that needed to be broken. Ashura viewed the clan as a tool, something to be exploited and not become emotional attached too.
 
Ashura established many working relationships with his Clansmen, making sure not to get too close, too attached to anyone although establishing the deception that he was a devoted [[Disciple of Sadow]].
 
Isradia's plans deepened after [[Jades "Imperial" Atema|Jade Atema]] was wounded by her husband and sent to Ashura by her brother-in-law, for him to keep safe. The Battlemaster was enraged that Ylith had broken his oath to honour, love and protect his wife; an oath he made them both swear. Ashura saw a chance to use Jade's anger and need for revenge to unlock her dark nature.
 
He promised to teach the Knight the ways of the [[Sith]] and took her on as his [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sith_apprentice Sith Apprentice], the methodology of Darth Bane's rule of two twisted to serve Ashura's need. He started her training immediately took Jade to various locations throughout the Galaxy with strong [[the Force]]. The Sith made the Krath endure hardship on each of the planets the visited; bringing the darkness within her to the surface. They eventually arrived on Vardor, the homeworld of [[Jonaleth Isradia]]. It was here that Ashura made her face her own inner demons; whether she conquered them or not only Jade would know. The pair then traveled back to the [[Orian system]] where the Battlemaster told her it was the journey that mattered and not the final destination. Ashura helped Jade unlock her potential; she had reached [[Equite]] level in her abilities but not yet in [[Krath Priest|name]]. There journey together had ended, and it would be [[Shin|another]] who would continue on with her, however would keeping from the shadows.
 
=== The One Path ===

Awaken, and see the Glory I put before you.  Be One.|Jonaleth Isradia}}
There have been few moments in Ashura’s life when he faced life changing moments; one had been his death and resurrection, and the other happened in the middle of 28 ABY. He began having dreams, or were they visions? He wasn’t completely sure?
 
These dreams were about the first encounter he ever had with [[Jonaleth Isradia]], the man (or monster) the Envoy’s had sent to train him. He was watching himself as he once had been years before as Ashura Megos, a name he used during the time he joined the Brotherhood; he had dropped his family name for a name that echoed what he believed himself to be at the time – great and powerful. How Isradia tore down those walls of illusion to reveal how weak-minded the [[Dark Jedi]] [[Journeymen|Journeyman]] really was.
 
The dreams continued like this every night until one night it changed; the dream started as normal until Jonaleth revealed his face, it was not the face Ashura knew when he first became the Dark Adept’s apprentice, but the face of his Master as he knows him today. The [[Elder]] asked Ashura what he had learned and if he knew of the Path. The Battlemaster couldn’t speak for his mind was a blank and Isradia answered his students’ unanswered reply.
 
The dream reminded Ashura of where he started and where he was going, and what it was leading too. Megos was a name he choose out of selfish desire as he believed he was better and stronger than most; what a lie that had been. But know he knew his weaknesses, he know what he needed to do to walk that path towards his destiny. It was a name he was willing to embrace with new meaning; Ashura Megos Isradia. He now looked into the very embodiment of what his Master had always taught him.  The unity of One, the Path to Ascension. 
 
This Path led him to abandon his plans within the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] and return to Vardor, and with his Master’s return Ashura began to understand even more where this [http://isradia.freesitespace.net/onepath.html One Path] was leading too. Jonaleth revealed the truth behind it and Ashura became fully committed.
 
With the death of [[Erin Isradia]] at the hands of his oldest friend; Ashura was elevated to Exarch of the [[Imperial House Isradia]] with the rank of Duke. His ''sister'', Cipher, would once again retain what once was hers.
 
Ashura’s path was now on Vardor; the [[Sith]] would take what he learned as [[Knight Class Envoy]], [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] and reinforce it with the teachings of his [[Order]]. He would continue to focus on his weaknesses and eliminate them. He could achieve the same ascension or die trying.
 
== Psychological Profile ==
 
Like all those who follow the quasi-religious belief system known as the '''One Path'''; Ashura seeks to eliminate himself of all weaknesses and to bring mind, body and spirit into one. Surprising this is something he has been doing for years, but the teachings of his Master are what has enabled him to bring it all together.
 
During his youth he was trained under a tough training regime know as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agoge agoge]. This was to help strengthen his body and remove any weakness; even today he continues with the core teachings to keep his body in prime condition and his fighting spirit alive.
 
Again, without realising his own choice of actions, he continued to set himself on the One Path even before he knew about it. The Etherite Tradition on the planet Vardor would enable him to bring mind, body and spirit together; or atleast attempt too. <i>Beneath all things there lies a single, unify, omnipotent force, a framework upon which all reality is built, and from which all things come and are made.</i> This was the core teaching of the Etherites; ordered, instinctive, collected and precise. Elements Ashura adapted in his training to help control the chaotic aspects of the life and death within him… another step down the along the Path.
 
The man no longer seeks to limit himself to one teaching; to become a slave to it. His true weakness had always been that of his mind, weakness he sought to eliminate through the teachings of the [[Sith]] and the understanding of leadership. It was through the teachings of Darth Bane did Ashura adapt tools of his Order to his own purpose when seeking to rule among the Dark Brotherhood; patience, cunning and secrecy were tools that would help him to strengthen his mind.
 
The Warrior Noble; a man of honour and duty taught to him as a boy but fortified through his oath of loyalty, and the position he has found himself in as second in command of the [[Isradia|House Isradia]] and representative of his Master to the Iperion of Vardor.

Ashura Isradia Sadow was a Sith Warlord and Son of Sadow. He was also known as the Puppet Master of Sadow due to his sadistic nature of crushing the minds of his foes with the use of manipulation and malicious mind control, then turning them into willing puppets to be used and discarded at will.

Character History


"You underestimate the Power of the Dark Side."
―Darth Vader

Early Life (2 BBY to 13 ABY)

Ashura Megos and his twin sister, Atalanta, were born to Alexandros and Cassiopeia. The twins were Force-sensitive, but their parents were not; fearing the Empire might want the twins for their potential, they kept moving around. The Megos family never stayed in one place for too long, and it remained like this for years until one fateful day. Their transport vessel malfunctioned and had to make an emergency landing on Tython. It seemed that a Dark Side Adept had caused the failure; he had sensed the twins’ Force signatures and laid a trap. The Megos family escaped into the Tython wilderness. At the same time, the other passengers died; they were tracked down and killed too. Only the twins were kept alive; however, while Atalanta fled, Ashura was left behind and fell into his parents’ murderer's hands. The Dark Side Adept took the boy and raised him on Tython; Ashura’s upbringing forced him to forget about his parents and sister. As far as he knew, Tython was his home. His childhood consisted of twisted games and harsh lessons training him in the Force core abilities. Ashura also learned how to read and write, to survive and hunt in the wilderness, and basic medical techniques to dress his wounds. A pattern emerged: the boy would spend time training in the necessary Force abilities, being taught basic lore regarding the Dark Side of the Force, then leave on his own for months on end as survival training. It was during his teenage years that his time on Tython was coming to an end. He learned about the organisation his master was attached to and was deemed ready for his indoctrination.

Brotherhood Indoctrination (13 ABY to 17 ABY)

As an initiate, Ashura spent the majority of his time at the Shadow Academy, an institution that takes Force-sensitive individuals as potential members and physically and mentally twists them into Dark Jedi, then with proper training and testing watches as the most ruthless of them sacrifice the weaker ones to further progress down the path of the Dark Side. Ashura thrived in this environment, and it seemed his upbringing had prepared him for life at the academy. In his second year, he learned the basics of lightsaber combat and more advanced Force techniques that heavily focused on the use of the Dark Side of the Force. He became fascinated with Old Republic military history. The tactics they used, the battles, the victories and the defeats they suffered were all very educational to him. Ashura knew the only way to succeed in the academy was to grow stronger, even if that meant killing to get ahead. It was only natural to form a temporary partnership with other initiates, which often helped against other such groups looking to get ahead. Ashura became quite talented in manipulating other students, and if that didn’t work, then he would use deception, intimidation and interrogation to achieve his goals. By the end of his time as an initiate, Ashura had become a cold and ruthless individual who saw those weaker than him as mere puppets to be used and discarded at will.

Sith Beginnings (17 ABY to 21 ABY)

Upon graduating from the Shadow Academy, Ashura joined his master's clan as an Apprentice. Here, he experienced life as a clan member and once more found himself under his master’s tutelage. It was here Ashura chose to follow the path of the Sith, as the thirst for power was all-consuming, and the knowledge he could learn from the Dark Side Adept seemed limitless. So he prostrated and subjected himself to his master’s twisted training, sinking deeper into the Sith doctrine to survive. Years passed by, and Ashura grew in talent and power, passing one odious trial after another before meeting the requirements that saw his promotion to Dark Jedi Knight. Upon achieving his knighthood, Ashura found himself adopted into his master’s family as a type of reward; he even legally changed his name from Ashura Megos to Ashura Isradia. However, the newly christened knight did not want to remain in the same clan as his master; he desired to spread his wings and achieve his goals. He spent two years bouncing from one group to another, trying to find the right clan that would help him achieve his goals. Ashura’s thirst for power was so great it even got him into trouble; he crossed the wrong people and had to face the Chamber of Justice. Luckily, he got off with a warning, but it made the Sith more cautious from that point onwards. It was a year after his cross with the Justicar he met Ashia Keibatsu, who managed to sway him into joining her clan.

Disciple of Sadow (21 ABY to 34 ABY)

Upon joining Clan Naga Sadow, Ashura took up one of the vacant Envoy positions. It may not have been a seemingly important position of power, but it did allow the Sith to observe how the clan operated. The politics of the Sadow were split into two groups; the Disciples of Sadow and the Sons & Daughters of Sadow, who were loyal to the Heir of Naga Sadow, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow. Ashura continued his role as Envoy until eventually becoming Aedile and later Quaestor of Marka Ragnos. Naga Sadow appeared to be the perfect place to build up his power, and the Sith ensured he would find like-minded individuals within the clan: allies, comrades, but never any friends. Friends were a weakness. During this point, he started to fine-tune the process of making his “puppets,” weak-minded fools who broke to his torture, interrogation and intimidation methods. He became fascinated with “reprogramming” these broken husks into obedient and expendable pawns using malicious, mind-altering Force techniques. During this time, he earned the nickname of “Puppet Master,” which would later change to “Puppet Master of Sadow.” Ashura’s greatest achievement was during his tenure as Proconsul. While he only held the position for a couple of years, his work and accomplishments were recognised by being granted the Son of Sadow title, and he was eventually promoted for it. When his time on the clan summit ended, Ashura turned to more personal interests; this included the taking of students. He finally agreed to take on an unaffiliated Dark Jedi from the Shadow Academy; who he got was Aleho Ruoxf, a spunky young Tortuga. Despite his best efforts, he became attached to the girl and she to him. The Collective would later exploit this connection to his apprentice by luring him into a trap and replacing him with an imposter. While under the Collective’s care, he was experimented with and tested to help find methods to fight against Force users. When not strapped down, he would be facing off against Collective forces in a gladiatorial-style arena for them to hone their skills. He was eventually rescued a few years later by members of the Keibatsu family, who were assigned to investigate rumours about a shadow organisation.

Hiatus (34 ABY to 37 ABY)

Ashura immediately took Aleho to learn from the Matukai and Jensaarail to learn from them and help fine-tune her Force abilities and broaden her mind. After a year of this, he began her real training, subjecting her to painful and lethal methods, making Aleho draw out her rage and use the Dark Side of the Force as a weapon and tool for her advancements. He focused her martial prowess, lightsaber skills and advanced Force techniques. Ashura sent regular reports to the Shadow Academy regarding Aleho’s progress. While on the hiatus from Clan Naga Sadow, he missed the Collective’s invasion and takeover of the Orian system. It was during this period many things happened to the Brotherhood; it was the end of one era and the beginning of a new one. Ashura joined the newly established Inquisitorius as an Apprentice Inquisitor. His reprogrammed drones, also known as puppets, were to be used as undercover operators for the AIN. When he deemed Aleho ready for her knighthood trials, he lured his apprentice into a trap; he had arranged for a group of Jedi Knights to discover her. He watched from afar as Aleho fought off the Jedi, using all her skills she had been taught, and eventually slaughtered all of them. Much like his master had done for him, the moment Aleho’s knighthood went through, he adopted her, although she decided not to change her name legally. Some months later, he received word that Clan Naga Sadow was planning to take back the Orian system.

Character Profile


"The Force is strong in this one....""
―Darth Vader

Personality

Sadistic, cold and cruel would be a brief description of Ashura’s personality. The man was a sociopath that liked to see his victims suffer, either through torture, interrogation or murder. He enjoys twisting people into pawns to and using them for his plans. It made matters worse that he also had a high intelligence quotient; this made Ashura calculated and meticulous when it came to planning and details.

Physical Description

Ashura was an adult human with white hair and black eyes which become red when he taps into the Dark Side. Before going into any battle, he liked to apply Sith war paint to his face. The meaning of this was to intimidate and disconcert his opponents mentally. Lingering scars cover his body caused by his harsh training and from previous battles. Many of these were minor lightsaber wounds across his abdominal, vertebral and scapular during combat. The other scars on his arms and body were results of shrapnel during battle zones.
