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 orginisation made to look and think like the Sith, but had failed to infiltrate Naga Sadow

Personality

"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.
