| His fictional character is a [[Dark Jedi]] that was born on Pelagon, and belonged to House Pelagia within the [[Star Wars]] universe.

He was later assigned as [[Dlarit Corporation]] [[Commissar (Dlarit Corporation)|Commissar]] aboard the [[ISDII Harbinger]] due to his involvement defeating the [[True Brotherhood]] during the [[Invasion of Orian]].

|
| |
|
| The history of Ashura Isradia began thousands of years before his birth; like the prophecies of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Chosen_One Chosen One], [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sith%27ari Sith’ari], and [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Prophecy_of_the_Five Prophecy of the Five], his was to be a dark tale of death and destruction that would travel in his wake. He was foreseen as a harbinger of these… a force to be reckoned with. There would be a sense of irony to all this, however. Ashura is the descendant of the Sage Master who prophesied his coming.
| | 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. |

| The prophecy told the coming of a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Demon demon] wrapped in [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Human human] flesh to walk among the sheep. It would be a creature of darkness brought upon the physical plane by dark life-giving magic. It would be limited by the restrictions of the human flesh; it could still be hurt, or worse, killed, and be tempted by desires of love, anger and hatred.

| It was said that the demon had the dark sight: the <em>makura na hiruma</em> (the <em>darkness at noon</em>). The ability to see the future - although, the sight can be erratic. The demon would possess a metabolism is different than a normal human, he would be able to alter it so to slow down the aging process. The prophecy stated the demon would possess the ability to reach out with his mind and slow anothers heartbeat or raise it until they burst into flames.
| | 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. |

|
| Ashura Isradia is the evolved form of the fallen Jedi Knight Ashura Konden. His family origin is a dark twisted tale that begins six hundred years ago when the Konden and Brakus noble families of House Pelagon joined together to create a new breed of warriors. The Konden family was a lie, however. They were actually part of a splinter fraction of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mecrosa_Order Mecrosa Order], Sith’s who wanted to use the strong force connection of the Brakus bloodline to create assassins and bodyguards; Jedi who would start on the Light Side but fall to the Darkness.
| | 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]]. |
|
| |
|
| The [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Great_Jedi_Purge Great Jedi Purge] threatened to kill off the last of the Brakus bloodline. Baron Krous Brakus, Ashura’s grandfather, was killed by Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vader) during the attack on the Jedi Temple. His daughter Miya was on [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Pelagon Pelagon] where Jared Konden placed her into hiding. His younger sister Andrea, a prominent member of the Mecrosa Order, was able to arrange it. Miya would eventually fall in love with Jared and the two would marry; Jared’s feelings for her were never returned. Miya would never learn of her husband’s betrayal; her son however would in years to come learn the truth.
| | === Disciple of Sadow (21 ABY to 34 ABY) === |
|
| |
|
| The boy was born on the Sixth of Helona in the eighth year Before the Battle of Yavin (BBY), for the early years of his life he would be unaware of his families Force heritage to prevent the Empire learning of him. It was only when he was old enough to bear the responsibility was he told the truth about his special gifts. His mother and father would tutor the young noble in the ways of the Force: Miya would pass on lesson her father taught her as a little girl while Jared would be harsh in his son’s education: purposely forcing Ashura to endure hardship to create a base for his eventual fall to the Dark Side. | | 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. |

|
| Ashura achieved incredible prescience, enhanced physical and metaphysical perception during the early years of his life: this stage of his Force training could be described as the beginning of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larva larva] stage. Years later the young man left Pelagon to join the newly established Jedi Academy as a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_Guardian Jedi Guardian]. 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 eventually was promoted to Jedi Knight for help defeating the Disciples of Ragnos. However Ashura had to rely on his fathers training to survive and this caused him to feel the power of the Dark Side. The next few years the Knight walked the fine line between the Light Side and Dark Side. The Dark Side finally won.
| | === Hiatus (34 ABY to 37 ABY) === |
|
| |
|
| Ashura left the Jedi Order and joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood as a Sith Initiate. He arrived at Antei where he attended the Shadow Academy. He achieved the rank of Sith Apprentice and 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’s was already the product of noble upbringing; this combined with his training made him an asset. Jonaleth agreed and made him Margrave and 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. Instead of killing her, he tortured Isabelle in the city square and subdued the woman into renounce her title and leadership of House Lutah. To further humiliate her, Isabelle was forced to become a Bondsman in the Imperial House and assigned to Tol Mustanen. With his city once again under the control of the Imperial House Isradia, Ashura was rewarded by attaining the new title of Viscount and promoted to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. | | 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. |

| ===Awakening=== | | === TBA (37 ABY to Present) === |
| {{quote|I am the Oncoming Storm... the Bringer of Darkness.|Ashura Isradia}}
| |
|
| |
|
| Ashura’s dark side metamorphosis had reached the point where he was beginning to have visions (which was hereditary of the Brakus bloodline): a male figure cloaked within a ring of fire in the darkness of the abyss. It was a symbol of death… of great chance… of the demon awakening. The [[Dark Jedi Knight]] had been told about his ancestor’s prophecy by his mother and believed it was up to him to stop the demon… the descendant of the Sage Master joined Clan Arcona where he believed that the Arconan Shadowcrafting ability would enable him to meet the demon in its level and defeat it.
| | TBA |
| | |
| He quickly learned the basic skill of Shadowcrafting and choice the path of Inner Darkness; the demon was darkness thus Ashura must understand the darkness within to match the demon. The Sith Knight slowly gained standing among his new Clan as he became Rollmaster of House Oriens Obscurum (and then later on Aedile), promoted into the Equite class with the rank of [[Sith Warrior]]. (Also see [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sith_Warrior Sith Warrior])
| |
| | |
| However after a while the visions kept plaguing the Aedile who was unable to find an answer, this was until he foresaw his own death at the hands of his Master on the backwater world of Tatooine. Ashura couldn’t believe this and needed to find out the truth, so he transferred out of Arcona and traveled to the Outer Rim.
| |
| | |
| Ashura arrived at Tatooine and began searching for Master Isradia, but could not sense Jonaleth. He knew the vision had been false. He planned to leave the planet when he sensed a powerful Light Jedi: It turned out to be Light Adept Erickholm Isradia (Jonaleth’s twin brother). The two Jedi faced each other on the sands and just like in the Equite’s vision; Erickholm's lightsaber pierced his chest slaying the Darksider. Jonaleth also foresaw Ashura’s death at the hands of his twin brother, but the Dark Adept also knew that death was just the beginning.
| |
| | |
| Ashura’s body was taken to the Vaults of the Dead on Vardor, rumors of his death quickly spread and none knew of Jonaleth’s plans as the Vardorian Necromancer summoned all the other Necromancers of the Ninth Order to come forth in resurrecting the fallen Dark Jedi. Ashura’s body burned with life once again but tainted by the Necromancers dark magic.
| |
| | |
| In that moment of utter clarification Ashura realized his visions of the demon and his death was about him becoming the demon. The larval stage progressed on to the next life cycle: on that day it was destined for the Dark Jedi known as Ashura Konden to undergo a transformation into the pupa stage of the demon’s existence.
| |
| | |
| 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. The changes were certain demonic in nature. It would be years before he learned what the catalyst behind these events. He turned to the Etherites Tradition and Iperion of Vardor to fill the void felt behind by his old life.
| |
| | |
| ===Evolution===
| |
| {{quote|Ascension cannot be achieved if we do not embrace all that which we are. All that makes us, defines us. We are a sum of all that we have done and that has made us: Embrace all that, and true power, power that cannot be defeated, can be yours.|Jonaleth Isradia}}
| |
| | |
| {{quote|I understand, Master. Ascension is true evolution.|Ashura Isradia}}
| |
| | |
| Initially after his metamorphosis, Ashura spent time in Tol Rothan the capital city of House Isradia as his body needed time to regain its strength and adjust to this new development. The Grand Duke realized Ashura needed time to get back on his feet and summoned the Viscounts Handmaiden to care for her master. Bondswoman Isabelle Lutah arrived at Tol Rothan and was shocked to find that Ashura alive as she heard the rumors that he had been killed.
| |
| | |
| The relationship between Isabelle and Ashura before had been harsh and cruel on her, but that began to change as he acted like never before: Ashura began to show his Handmaiden that he was not the man she knew as he showed her passion and a gentle hand. 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 Mardorin, “Son imtah itai porin, par, non quazan sak.” These words were enough to let Isabelle know the depths of Ashura’s feelings for her as she repeated them back to him. Ashura and Isabelle’s relationship had evolved into an epic romance which let to the couple getting married. He remained on Vardor until late 27 ABY upon his decision to return to active membership he learned an important lesson from his Master (see quotes).
| |
| | |
| Ashura returned to Brotherhood space and committed himself fully to the Sith Order; its traditions and its way of life. He was offered a home in House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow and soon joined thier ranks. It wasn't long before he took on a leadership role of Knight Class Envoy of Naga Sadow. As Clan Envoy Ashura trained potential Journeymen as House Envoy's, established a Clan wide training program based on the one used in House Marka Ragnos, and advised the Summit on Envoy and training matters.
| |
| | |
| Things began to change when 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 <i>Wandering Soul</i>, 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 Keibatsu was not happy when she found out and became Ashura's rival after that. The <i>Wandering Soul</i> still had to be abandoned.
| |
|
| |
|
| Ashura watched as [[Grand Master]] [[Sarin]] called for a retreat; [[Antei]] was lost to the Vong; Ashura arrived at the decision the Star Chamber's own arrogance led to Vexatus vision being discarded. Their arrogance had been their 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.
| | == 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. |
|
| |
|
| He 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.
| | === 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. |
|
| |
|
| The Clan Envoy 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 services 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 Sith’s plan’s nurtured as he was appointed Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos by the new Consul, the man whose job he replaced.

| |
|
| The 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).
| | == DJB Facts == |
|
| |
|
| 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]].
| | === Goals === |
| | '''[[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]''' |
|
| |
|
| The Sith Battlemaster 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.

| Isradia's plans deepened after Jade Atema was wounded by her husband and sent to him by her [[Tyren Atema|brother-in-law]] for him to keep safe. The Battlemaster was enraged that [[Draken 'Ylith' Atema]] had broken his oath to honor, 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.

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. 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 name.

| 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 Konden (or rather Ashura Megos, a name he used during the time he joined the Brotherhood). Ashura had dropped his family name for a name that echoed what he believed himself to be at the time – great and powerful. How Jonaleth tore down those walls of illusion to reveal how weak-minded the Dark Jedi 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’ mute reply. The dream reminded Ashura of where he started and where he was going and what it was leading too. He now looked into the very embodiment of what his Master had always taught him. The unity of One, the Path to Ascension.

He began to understand even more where this One Path was leading too when Jonaleth revealed the truth behind it. 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 would once again retain what once was hers. The newly Exarch would take what he learned as Clan Envoy, Aedile and Quaestor, and reinforce it with the teachings of his Order and the One Path. He would continue to focus on his weaknesses and eliminate them.

| Without realizing his own choice of actions, he had set himself on the One Path even before he knew about it.

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.
