His body, especially his back, is covered in numerous scars from his time as a slave. Also, there is a slave mark tattooed into the back of his neck and several psionic tattoos usually cover his arms, neck, and back. He wears his hair long to cover the illithid’s slave mark. On his face he wears a smoke grey crystal mask in which an emerald is set in the forehead. Ashrem’s weapon of choice is a psychic blade created entirely by his own mental energies.

However, at the age of twelve, he was taken by one of the more prominent illithids for study. Ashrem has little memory of this time for he often faded in and out of consciousness. His memories and perceptions distorted by rigorous psychic experimentation, Ashrem was finally returned to the mines.</span></p><p><span style="color: silver"></span></p><p><span style="color: silver">Little did he know that he was being watched. The Illithid leader had managed to awaken the boy’s latent psychic potential. He had been returned to the other slaves in order for the illithids to watch his abilities naturally manifest. Unfortunately for the mind flayers, Ashrem was quicker to manifest his abilities than they imagined. Using his psychic abilities, Ashrem melted through his shackles and freed his fellow slaves. In the revolt, only he and a half dozen others managed to escape to the surface.</span></p><p><span style="color: silver"></span></p><p><span style="color: silver">After his escape, Ash returned to the remains of what was once his home. There he found a dilapidated farmhouse and his family's remains. He buried his family and from his father's corpse he took a signet ring depicting a wolf with three eyes. The importance of the third eye was not lost on Ash who now believes his family had a strong psionic heritage. He wishes he knew how to contact anyone else in his family, but he has only a few very vague memories of his childhood before slavery.</span></p><p><span style="color: silver"></span></p><p><span style="color: silver">Leaving his home behind, Ash traveled about and soon found himself in the Yeomanry region. There he lived on the streets and made his way as a petty thief. He learned to use his powers to bend the will of men so that they would be more than generous with their offers of charity. While most thieves were slick tongued and smooth, Ashrem refused to spend time developing those abilities. His psychic abilities made such tactics unnecessary in his eyes.</span></p><p><span style="color: silver"></span></p><p><span style="color: silver">He lived this way for a two years before his abilities were discovered. A man by the name of Sorren recognized the youth’s abilities and gave him an ultimatum. He would not turn Ash over to the authorities, if he agreed to become Sorren’s pupil. Ashrem agreed and began a formal study of the “Unseen Way” under the strict tutelage of his new master.
