Biography
Ashura Isradia
- "One does not need to be Jedi to learn the ways of the Force. I suspect it cares little for our codes and philosophies."
- ―Kreia
Ashura was born on Coruscant before the fall of the Empire. His father was an Imperial Dark Side Adept serving the Emperor, while his mother was an exiled Dathomir Witch a long way from home. This Dark Jedi was trained in the use of the Force from an early age, first by his father and then by his mother.
As a young man he studied among the Matukai and Jensaarail: it was during this time Ashura learned about ballistakinesis and sought to one day master this unique Force ability. He would actually become well known for his pursuit of it during his time in the Liberated Brotherhood. His reasons for joining the Brotherhood was to learn more about Sith philosophy, abilities, and practices which he had initially learned during his time with the Jensaarai. Here he became apprenticed to the Krath Dark Side Adept Jonaleth Isradia. The two transcended the normal bond between a master and his apprentice in something far deeper, and this led to Ashura joining the Imperial House Isradia.
During his time with the Brotherhood, Ashura had drifted through many different clans. However it would be the Disciples of Sadow where he truly flourished. Here he served with distinction in various roles: military governor, soldier, diplomat, tactician and commissar. After having served his clan with loyalty and dedication, Ashura was eventually elevated beyond Disciple by the Heir of Sadow at the end of the Ninth Great Jedi War.
At one point Ashura had believed to have been killed by his former Sith apprentice who had been under the control of Curwen Sunei. His body was found by Macron Sadow, Jade Sadow and Aisha Qifaxa, and burned in an ancient Sith burial rite and sealed off for transport to Sepros for burial. But was the Sith truly dead or was a larger deception at work? It seemed Ashura was indeed alive, and the man who had died in his place was an operative of a secret organisation made to look and think like the Sith, but had failed to infiltrate Naga Sadow. His rescuers were Ashia Keibatus a long time rival of his, she and her son Sanjuro had found him while undergoing a mission for her husband. Ashura was able to reunite with Macron and learn what happened to Aleho Ruoxf.
With his Force abilities drained from him, Ashura saw no reason to stay in the Orian system. He needed to reconnect and relearn how to use the Force all over again, so he set out to wander the stars and to meditate, he was sure inform Macron to only tell the Clan that he was alive.

The Sith wandered alone for a long year, practicing his saber skills and the Force, until he was able to commune once more and be one with the Dark Side. His return to his clan was greatly received by his friends and allies.

Ashura Sadow
- "You underestimate the Power of the Dark Side."
- ―Darth Vader
In 37 ABY “Ashura” returned to Clan Naga Sadow claiming the title of Sith and carrying the trademark twin lightsabers Ashura Isradia was famous for using, and he even seemed to possess knowledge only the their Ashura would know. This newcomer did not have the same Force signature that Ashura should have had, nor did he resemble Ashura with his white hair and red eyes and was also much younger. He was also more chaotic in battle instead of the calm fury that Ashura Isradia fought with.
The question remained: who was this Ashura Sadow, as he came to call himself, that was his purpose here and where was Ashura Isradia. He did not pose a threat to the safety of the Clan as he arrived to aid Macron with his investigation. The mystery deepened as this Ashura revealed was born on Tython many years later than the original Ashura had been, he was also accompanied by a Force-sensitive Kushiban named Zosia, who acted for lack of a better word as his sidekick.
Personality
Ashura Isradia
File:The Secret Apprentice by Daennika-fairuse.jpgThe First Ashura AKA Ashura Isradia
- "If you are to truly understand, then you will need the contrast, not adherence to a single ideal."
- ―Kreia
Like all those who follow the quasi-religious belief system known as the One Path; Ashura seek to eliminate himself of all weaknesses and to bring mind, body and spirit into one. Surprising this is something he had been doing for years, but the teachings of his Master are what enabled him to bring it all together.
To this end Ashura follows the tenets of the One Path:
- Be one in Mind, Body and Spirit.
- Always seek new experience, adversity and knowledge, for in those things we grow.
- Hone your weaknesses and strengths, that the whole may be greater than the parts.
- Know yourself, your strengths and weaknesses and all that you are, and do not be blinded by pride, fear or ignorance.
- We are merely a sum of our experiences. All that makes us, defines us.
The man no longer seek 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 adapted these tools of his Order to his own purpose when seeking to rule among the Dark Brotherhood; patience, cunning and secrecy were tools that helped him to strengthen his mind. Tools his passed onto his students.
Ashura Sadow
File:New ashura2 fairuse.jpgThe Second Ashura AKA Ashura Sadow
- "The Force is strong in this one....""
- ―Darth Vader
Ashura Sadow was a warrior that embraced the Dark Side and all its darker emotions and allowed these emotions to dictate his actions. Unlike his predecessor, who prized cunning and secrecy, this Ashura was direct, forcefully and to the point. Even if that point meant using his lightsabers. Cocky and condescending, Ashura Sadow allowed his pride to drive him more than anything. In combat this Ashura appears to have the same skills the first one possessed. While Ashura Isradia was described as graceful and deadly, Ashura Sadow could not be described as the same, he was crude with his executions but effective with overpowering his opponents.

Trivia
- 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.
- Ashura Isradia would be played by Mads Mikkelsen if he appeared in a Star Wars movie.
- Ashura Sadow “regeneration” is based on the Doctor. Obviously there aren’t any Timelord Sith and the idea for this is to refresh the character without changing what came before. It’s a mystery!
