[[Ashura Isradia]] (also known as [[Alector Isradia]] on his homeworld) is a [[Sith Battlemaster]] and [[Proconsul]] of [[Clan Naga Sadow]].  
'''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.

=== Early Life (2 BBY to 13 ABY) ===


It was during the Ascension Wars that Illyana Isradia became pregnant with the unborn child of Jonaleth Isradia. What had been a beautiful romance then they were young had turned into a living nightmare for the woman, Illyana had hoped marrying Jonaleth would sooth his anger; how wrong she had been. Disturbed by her husband’s actions during the war, Isradia's wife committed suicide unaware she was carrying his child; if she did then perhaps events that Jonaleth caused to Vardor may never had happened?
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 embryo was extracted from Illyana's womb and quickly placed into first available surrogate (a bondswoman by the name of Miya Konden). Seeing how consumed and enraged Isradia had become with the war, his trusted aid Erin decided not to tell him about the unborn child until after his victory. This would be a mistake Erin would have to bare until the day he died.
=== Brotherhood Indoctrination (13 ABY to 17 ABY) ===


Miya was taken offworld and went into hiding on Melachon and after nine long months she gave birth to baby boy whom was named after her great-grandfather, Alector, who had been a famous Vardorian poet. However there were complication after child birth and Miya unfortunately died; seeing how the infant had no mother or father (that they knew of), the doctors decided to report the baby died also. Upon hearing this Erin decided to wipe all records of Illyana's child ever existing. Alector Isradia was orphaned on Melachon upon the conclusion of the Ascension Wars: a world now controlled by the Grand Duke of Vardor… his father.  
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.
[[Image:Tol_Mustanen-fairuse.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Tol Mustanen]]
The baby was fortunate enough to inherit Miya Konden's Bondsman status and was adopted into the Imperial House on Melachon. The little boy was liked by many members of the Melachon Isradias, however it would be Korvalis Isradia (the Grand Duke’s greatest warrior in the Ascension Wars) who befriended and later adopted Alector to become his son. As a noble of the Iperion Alector was taught diplomacy, history, sword fighting and hand-to-hand combat, as well as instructed in use of Vardorian magic by his adopted father and other members of the Melachon Isradias.


Korvalis was made Panarch of Tol Mustanen by Erin, the Vardorian warrior had shown over the years the ability to command, this ability was put to better use on Vardor. Because of his relationship with Viscount of Tol Mustanen, Alector was allowed to become the Dane of Tol Mustanen. Ever since arriving at the ancient capital of Vardor, Alector began to have strange dreams about the Rose Goddess. The boy chalked it up to living in the birthplace of the Iperion, and it was just his unconscious mind playing tricks on him. The dream was the same every night and he would always wake up with it being incomplete, however. After a while the Dane began to wonder if there was something more to this dream but decided not to tell his adopted father about it: Korvalis had to deal with increased tension with Minor House Lutah whose lands boarded with Tol Mustanen.
=== Sith Beginnings (17 ABY to 21 ABY) ===


=== Lady of Beauty and Passion ===
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]].
{{quote|There once was a maiden sleeping and as she slept and dreamed she beheld a steep and verdant hill. And around her the flaming anguish of suffering and so she descended to the hilltop to bask the huddled masses in her mercy and her solace, her beauty and her love. And thereupon the cold, suffering, downtrodden people saw her glorious mantle and at once knew passion. This passion they might have forgotten but for her beloved she left a single alabaster flower. And when the windswept flower was held aloft it's soft golden light burned away the dark ones, the Nightshades and the maiden's people saw their eternal predators wither and at once knew sanctuary.|The High Priestess Aechemaa's saga of the Rose Goddess, Act 1, Scene 4}}


It was after reading Aechemaa's Saga at the age of ten that the dreams started to make a little more sense: the High Priestess story told the life and death of the Vardorians Lady of Beauty and Passion, and it had been the chapter on her death and where he eternal body laid that mirrored Alector’s dreams: every night he would fall asleep and the dream began the same.
=== Disciple of Sadow (21 ABY to 34 ABY) ===


The Dane would find himself walking barefoot through a massive, cavernous complex that culminates in a majestic funeral bier atop a raised dais of palest marble. There was also this somber, silent, yet majestic decay with a holistic air of a dead time; it sent a shiver down his spine ever time.  
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.


The craggy walls of the cave systems were etched for miles with a heavy runic script predating even ancient [[Isradia#Mardorin_.E2.80.93_The_Language_of_Vardor|Mardorin]]. Beyond all common recollection or contemporary scholarship this runic alphabet was the basis, the very cornerstone of the most ancient Vardorian magic. Knowledge of this gift of the Rose Goddess herself, an enigmatic, long-dead language.
=== Hiatus (34 ABY to 37 ABY) ===
[[Image:Rosetemple.jpg|200px|left|thumb|I have a dream, a song to sing]]
As what always happened in the dream, Alector recited the incantations on the hallowed walls as he wandered into the slumbering depths, the lined halls giving way to a massive mausoleum with crumbling statues erected in dedication to the infinite glory and wisdom of the Rose Goddess, and as the he approached the edifice, the burial sanctuary, his presence sent ripples through the crystalline ether of the Force, reverberating from the very funeral bier of the Lady of Beauty and Passion.


Alector's recollection of the events of the incantation’s culmination was always a hazy blur, due to the dreamy landscape of the surreal, ethereal burial chamber. The sarcophagus was built on an ancient and massive stone archway, itself the focal apparatus of an unspeakably ancient hypergate. It was at this point that Alector always woke up, but tonight after years of the dream ending at this point, it didn’t, and he kept on dreaming.  
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.


The crumbling anchor, imbued with the very essence of the Force, had welled up and suffused the entirety of the repository in its quantum energy. These energies caused the last vestiges of the old hypergate's relativistic shielding to collapse, melting away and bathing Alector in streams of quantum energies.
===  TBA (37 ABY to Present) ===


In that moment Alector saw the Grand Duke of Vardor, Jonaleth Isradia, standing next to the sarcophagus holding the legendary Rose of Millions, a tiny holocron-like device which encapsulated accumulated knowledge of countless generations of priests in the service of the Rose Goddess, and beckoning the young man to join him.
TBA


In all the years leading up to this moment Alector never dreamed of seeing something as true beautiful as what he saw in this dream that night. Sadly it would also be the last dream as well, as from that night on only haunted images plagued his unconscious mind. All these years and the dream was gone, however Alector finally understood why, he had to make what he saw a reality, and for that he needed Jonaleth Isradia.
==  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.


=== Joining the Brotherhood ===
=== Physical Description ===
{{quote|The strength of the dark side lies with the power of the individual. The Force comes from within. You must learn to draw on it yourself. I will not always be there to teach you.|Darth Bane to his apprentice}}
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.
[[Image:Picture-emblem1.jpg|150px|right|thumb|Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]
Alector finally told his adopted father about the dreams and the latest one involving the Grand Duke. Korvalis told Duke Erin Isradia, Exarch of the Imperial House. Erin had never met the lad, although he had heard a lot about the adopted son of Korvalis, but upon his first meeting with the Dane he saw that the son of Illyana Isradia was alive and well. In secret he told Korvalis the truth about Alector: it was no surprise to see the Viscount shocked to learn that little boy he adopted was the lost son of Jonaleth Isradia.  


Erin and Korvalis decided not to tell Alector the truth about his biological father, the young man was going to meet him soon enough as he seemed adamant to talk to the Grand Duke about his dream. Jonaleth wasn’t on Vardor, however. The Dark Side Adept was had been spending a lot of time with the Brotherhood of the Dark Jedi. The Dane of Tol Mustanen decided to needed to travel offworld and go to this “Dark Brotherhood”, even if it meant he had to become a Dark Jedi. As he set off Erin gave the young Isradia a datapad to give to the Grand Duke saying it was for “his eyes only”.

*'''[[Eighth Great Jedi War]]'''
Arriving on the moon Lyspair of Antei, the Initiate joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and began his training to Apprentice. Alector had chosen the Order of the Sith due to thier interesting history, he found it all very fascinating. Being the dedicated student he was Isradia began to learn within the four towers of the academy: In the Khar Shian tower he was instructed on the basics of holonet usage, protection against computer security breaches, and leadership skills. It was in the Deneba tower that Alector learned about the lore and philosophy of the Dark Side. The Onderon tower was by far Alector’s favorite as he learned about tactics and flight relating to the Sith Order. Time after time Alector would return to his bed after a long day at the Karana tower, exhausted from lightsaber training (using training sabers) and hand-to-hand combat. Upon passing the Test of Lore Alector was promoted to the rank of Apprentice; his graduation from the Shadow Academy meant he was about to join the Clan the Grand Duke was a member of.

He joined Clan Plagueis just after it was created from the ashes of two dying Clan's. Apprentice Isradia set about finding the Tharchion of the Imperial House, however this proved more of a challenge then he originally thought. Whilst he searched for information about Isradia's whereabouts, Alector slowly advanced through the ranks and began to make himself at home within Clan Plagueis; little did he know that curious sapphire blue eyes were watching him ever since he arrived.
==  DJB Facts  ==
[[Image:Cpnewlogo.jpg|150px|right|thumb|Clan Plagueis]]
Jonaleth Isradia was aware Korvalis adopted son had been looking for him; although he had never met the boy the Dark Adept had once seen Alector in a recent dream and this disturbed him slightly. Isradia could sense a connection with the teenager, there was something about Alector's green eyes as if he'd seen them before. The Grand Duke decided to send [[Cipher]] to investigate and make contact with the young Isradia. The Kaleesh/Vurk hybrid, whom Alector knew to be the Zolarch of the Imperial House, informed him that Jonaleth had sent her to train the Guardian as part of the Clan's Master/Student Program. In reality this was just a convenient way for the Krath Priestess to get close and learn more about Dane of Tol Mustanen.


Being the Vardorian Noble he was, Alector would always address Cipher by her title and position within the Iperion rather than her rank in the Dark Brotherhood. It was whilst he was under her tutorage that Alector met Ethran Isradia, and it wasnt long before they became best friends, brothers-in-arms and train together. He even regarded Cipher more as a big sister/guardian than a teacher; this was something he couldn’t explain as she felt more like family than anything else. The Priestess relayed what she learned about Alector to her Master and Isradia began to put some of the pieces together. He decided it was finally time to meet Alector and learn the truth about who the boy really was.
===  Goals  ===

=== Heir to the Ageless Throne ===
* To have earned the rank of [[Dark Side Adept]].

* To have earned the title of [[Sith Lord]].
* To have made a difference to the [[Dark Brotherhood]] as a whole.  


The truth was the Grand Duke of Vardor had always known deep inside that this boy who was now standing before him, was his son. As Isradia read the datapad Erin had given to Alector to give to him, he learned the truth about Illyana's pregnancy and why after her death the unborn child was had been put into a surrogate. He learned how Erin thought the child had died with the Bondswoman, how the doctors (who Erin had eliminated after finding out Alector was Jonaleth's son) falsified Alector's death, and how for years Erin had kept they secret of Isradia's second son whom he believed had died at childbirth.
'''[[Clan Naga Sadow]]'''
[[Image:Isradiaphoenix.jpg|150px|left|thumb]]
Alector's green eyes, the same green eyes that belonged to him mother, stared at Isradia in utter shock and revelation as the truth was revealed to him: He was the lost son of Grand Duke of Vardor. As much as he loved his adopted father, his dreams had been leading him here and to learn the truth of who he was. Cipher and Ethran were just as shocked as Alector was to learn the truth.


Jonaleth helped Cipher in the final stages of getting Alector to Dark Jedi Knight, he wanted to see just what his son was capible of and what he needed to learn. There was this energy about their Master that Cipher and Ethran had never seen before. It wasnt long before Alector passed the Clan's requirements for Knighthood, and all of them left Plagueis space to return to Vardor.
* To help expand the clan’s fictional background and lead others by example.
[[Image:Alector-HeroMachinePic.jpg|150px|right|thumb|Marquis Alector Isradia.]]
Upon their return it was announced to the Iperion that Alector was the son of Grand Duke and Illyana Isradia, and that the newly Marquis of Besh Haras was also the heir to the Ageless Throne of the Iperion: the next Grand Duke of Vardor upon Jonaleth's dead, or until he stepped down.  


It was while on Vardor that Alector met the love of his, Isabelle Lutah. Isabelle has been a member of Minor House Lutah but upon a failed attack on Tol Mustanen she was captured by Korvalis and offered a choice: die or defect. Lutah chose the latter and defected to the Imperial House as Bondswoman. Although she would never admit it there was chemistry between the two of them, as well as advantages being in a relation with the next possible Grand Duke. However the sex and romance blossomed into a proper relationship. For the two of them Isabelle's defection seemed like destiny for the two of them to meet.
===  Notable Positions of Leadership  ===


Erin's betrayal of Isradia's trust didnt go unpunished, if the Grand Duke had known from the beginning about Alector's existence then he would have had a son long before now. Erin tried his best to reason with his old friend, but Isradia said he understood and then with the slow, precise, malign hatred, he killed Erin with his sword. He then appointed Korvalis Duke and Exarch of the Imperial House.

The Marquis of Besh Haras after a few years back on Vardor wanted to get involved once more with the Dark Brotherhood, his father had been a member for years and Alector knew he could learn more about the Dark Side and the Sith whilst with a Clan. He decided not to rejoin Clan Plagueis but Clan Arcona instead.

The Knight became good friends with Odin Vaaj and Selene d'Tana. In fact Selene took him under her wing and taught him about what it meant to be an Envoy. Fascinated by all this and wanting to become a proactive member of his Clan, and was appointed Envoy and Rollmaster of his current House, Oriens Obscurum. As Rollmaster he began to get a feel of what it meant to be a leader within the Dark Brotherhood, while as an Envoy he got to experience the thrill of getting new members and accustoming them to life within the Dark Brotherhood and Arcona.


He would eventually replace his friend Odin as Aedile of House Oriens Obscurum, and it wasnt long before Alector was promoted to the rank of Sith Warrior as he entered the Equite class. Isradia decided to commit himself even more to the Sith Order and to do this he first needed to rename himself, to shed his birth name and become known by his Sith name. Thus "Ashura" was born within the Brotherhood of the Dark Jedi.

Ashura knew he couldn’t become a Darth but that didnt concern him; renaming himself was just the first step towards become a Sith Lord, however the Warrior was more realistic and set his sights on becoming a Warlord. It was after Selene's disappearance in Tarentum space and Odin's departure from the Clan that Ashura felt out of place, and he too decided to leave, which would spare Arcona the shame that was about to befall upon Isradia

No-one is perfect, be it a Corellian smuggler who dumps his cargo at the first sign of Imperial ships, or Jedi Knight who falls to the Dark Side to save his beloved wife from death. The same can be said for Ashura Isradia as past mistakes are brought to light. The Vardorian found himself charged by the Chamber of Justice for something he had done whilst as a Journeyman. Ashura was shocked to learn of his mistake and held himself accountable and took responsibility into his own hands.

His trial was overseen by the Justicar personally (who at that time was Dark Jedi Master Kir Katarn). Upon being found guilty he took the burden of what he done to heart, no punishment the Justicar could give would even compare to the punishment Ashura bestowed upon himself. Being a man of noble upbringing, Ashura saw the shame he had brought upon his old Clan, Plagueis, and went into voluntary exile, never to return to the Clan until he had redeemed himself. The Rogue Dark Jedi wandered from place to place, it led him to joining Clan Tarentum but after a few weeks his wandering continued.

He came very close to leaving the Brotherhood and returning to Vardor forever, but an encounter with Ashia Keibatsu and Macron Goura led the Sith Warrior to joining Clan Naga Sadow. Isradia decided this was this last chance at redemption, a chance to really learn from his mistakes and become someone within the Brotherhood.


As a member of House Ludo Kressh, Ashura set out to once again show his talents and it wasnt long before he was appointed Clan Envoy. The Sith Warrior was driven by an insatiable lust that fuelled the Dark Side within. Redemption became a driving focus for the Sith, it changed Ashura in ways he never thought possible. It was a month after he joined the Clan that the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Antei and the Eighth Great Jedi War started. Redemption at a price, Yuthura Ban had been right after all.

The Knight Class Envoy of Clan Naga Sadow excelled at his duties, even if the Society of Envoys were in there waning days Ashura proved to be very good at his job. The Warrior took up the vacant position within House Marka Ragnos; he became the Sith Commander of Ravana Squadron so to get the training team back into shape. It was this among his other duties that earned Ashura the status of Knight First Class by the Knight Commander of the Brotherhood (in agreement with his Clan Summit). However that was just the beginning.

Trevarus Sadow was appointed Quaestor after the last one went AWOL, and it was Ashura who was to become the Dark Jedi Master's Aedile. This was the highlight of the young man's career, working with the Oracle much like his father had done years before. It was a golden time for the House, but it was hard work, although Ashura welcomed it on top of his Envoy duties. Trevarus became an inspiration for young man. It wasnt long after becoming Aedile that Ashura was promoted to the rank of Sith Battlemaster.

However this team wasnt destined to last as Trevarus was appointed Consul for the second time. Ashura replaced him as Quaestor and began to really get involved with the Dlarit Corporation and the Disciples of Ragnos. Knowing the Society of Envoys wasnt soon to close, Ashura retired as Clan Envoy but kept the title of Knight First Class.

After months leading House Marka Ragnos on his own, the Battlemaster selected Faeril Munlear (a former Envoy of his) as Aedile. The Knight showed potential and Ashura wanted to her reach it. It was at this point Ashura was studying Darth Bane's Rule of Two and he decided to incorporate it for the House Summit: one to embody the power (Quaestor), and the other to crave it (Aedile). Faeril would later leave House Marka Ragnos and become Quaestor of House Ludo Kressh; Alexander Anderson would replace her as Aedile.

The Battlemaster sensed a deception at work within the Clan. He brought in his disciple, Sakura Haruno, a young woman he met on his wanderings 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. Events within the Clan had slowly been leading up to something ever since the arrival of Grand Master Paladin. The Battle of Telos, the assistance Clan Naga Sadow gave to Clan Arcona when their home system was taken over by the Yuuzhan Vong. It was all pieces in a grand puzzle.

It seemed that Trevarus Caerick and his apprentice, Darth Vexatus, planned to go to Lehon and gain the Heart of the Force to receive ultimate power, and take over the galaxy. They "stole" the ''Harbinger'' and set off, luckily Ashura had placed Sakura months before on the ''Harbinger'' posing as a Sub-Lieutenant. Although she was able to slow the duo down she was inevitably captured and tortured by Vexatus.

[[Image:Consul and proconsul floorplan complete.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Proconsul Ashura Isradia's office within the Sadow Palace.]]

Feeling her pain Ashura made his way from the ''Final Way'' to the ''Harbinger'' to save her, but came across Caerick's seneschal, Eosara Goratis. Trevarus and Vexatus had already departed for the surface of Lehon so it seemed Eosara would have to be brought to justice in his master's place. The two of them duelled and although Trev's seneschal wasnt a Force-user, the hulk of a man was stronger and better trained than Ashura. Eosara landed a heavy blow that seriously wounded Ashura; however the Battlemaster was able to wound Goratis at the cost of his lightsaber being destroyed. Eosara fled to leave Ashura to die of his injuries. It seemed that Sakura was actually the one who saved Ashura and was able to get help. The events of the ''Harbinger'' led Sakura to walk away as Ashura's disciple as she decided to become a Disciple of Sadow.

The extent of Ashura's injuries kept him from active duty; he still couldn’t believe how easily he was beaten, as if all his training meant nothing. It was enough for him to rethink a few things. The Marquis remembered what the quasi-religious belief system his father used, and how this One Path was able to eliminate weakness by focusing on each one until they were no more. Ashura spent this time healing from is wounds studying the One Path and learning the truth within the power of its words. When he returned to active duty Ashura had a whole new way of thinking, this would infact serve the Clan well as he was soon appointed Proconsul.

Ashura is motivated by the ongoing pursuit of knowledge and to learn the hidden truths buried within; knowledge is the pathway to enlightenment and truth is the realization behind this. The achievement of enlightenment is the gateway to perfection. Ashura's logic behind this is based on the two fundamental teachings of the One Path his father taught him: ''True Ascension cannot be achieved unless all parts of a being are both one, and strong.'' AND ''Power is defined as "the ability to do or act" and "the possession of control or command".''

He appears to others as being formal, just, honest and well educated. Ashura will also often pursue something with lustful determination regardless where it would lead. When interacting with others he maintains his noble upbringing and sticks to titles, ranks and surnames; unless in private where such formalities can be dropped. He was taught to behave respectfully to everyone, and expects the same treatment in return. The one thing he cannot tolerate is injustice and will often seek to bring the balance back to what he believes to be good and true. It was through the teachings of Darth Bane that Ashura has truely understood the Sith Order; patience, cunning and secrecy have become tools for him to use.

* [[Grand Cross of the Dark Side]]
When using the Force, Ashura has different philosophical views about it than most. This is mainly because on his homeworld the Force is known as "magic" and has a mystical feel to it; although he has learned more about it over the years he still sees it as so. In combat he will try and stay out of physical confrontation due to his lack of strength and resilience, and simply use the Force to its fullest extent with telekinetics and other abilities; if he is forced into a duel than he'll bolster his strength, resilience and agility as much as possible. His greatest strength is also his greatest weakness.

* The name "Ashura" belongs to an older version of Ash Ketchum from Pokemon MASTER, a dark Pokémon fanfiction by Ace Sanchez, which is a damn good read. This is where the name was first picked up the name for this character.


* Alector's origin as the Supplicant was taken and developed from "Shattered Light", the source document of [[Isradia]] family canon, from the single sentence; <em>The portal is keyed to only activate to a Force user of enormous power, once every thousand years as the planets come into alignment.</em> This the foundation the character is built on.
[[File:Ashura AB.gif|thumb|180px|right|"Ashura” in [[starwars:Aurebesh|Aurebesh]]]]
* Alector's principle character development was inspired by the following fictional characters: [http://www.marvel.com/universe/Kid_Omega Kid Omega], [http://devilmaycry.wikia.com/wiki/Nero Nero] (as Ashura is inspired by Dante), [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_Strife Cloud Strife], from the Star Wars universe [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Zannah Zannah] and [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Starkiller_%28Secret_Apprentice%29 Starkiller]
* Alector's run in with the [[CoJ]] is a nod to my own [[014 DB vs. Ashura|encounter]]; it also is a great plot device to get him onboard the ''Republic''-class Star Destroyer ''Final Way'' for three months.
* Alector's name is based on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Corean_Chronicles#The_Alectors Alectors], a race of people with powers very similar to [[the Force]].
* Alector's [[DSOG]] rank reflects fictional time spent within Clan instead of reflecting [[DB]] rank. This is to open up greater possibilities for character development.
* Alector is a two stage character; stage one is above, stage two is a rewrite of his history to follow a natural progression of his age and will take place after 40 ABY.
* Alector starts as an [[Equite]] level character, and as such developed high mental attributes but low physical attributes. This means he's Force dependant on all physical feats. This dependence on [[the Force]] is his greatest weakness, despite his many other flaws.
* Alector possesses a unique tattoo on the back of his left hand, depicting a stylised dragon. This is the symbol of his connection to Cipher; they are connected in a way only one other knows.
* Alector is the first [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation next generation] [[Dark Jedi]]; a true amalgam of [[Dark Brotherhood]] canon using the [[DJBWiki]] articles as a source.

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.
