Asher was born as a bastard in a tavern in the year 1637, he never knew his father, he lived with his mother until he was 17 years. His mother told him that his father was a Knight who was in service of the Kingdom of Marna, that he rode out to war against other kingdoms like the Kingdom Norland and Santegia,  she told him that it was a man who one day knocked at her door for help, and then left the other day. Asher hated his father, even if he didnt know him. During his childhood Asher always helped his mother with what she needed. She owned a small tavern in the kingdom of Marna, he helped serving people who ordered her food or ordered a drink. Sometimes there were some angry customers and stubborn ones. Asher often got into a fight with these people who tried to do something to his mother or her tavern, but he was just a child and just ended up being beaten up. As the years passed by he became stronger and stronger, his technique became better everyday. When he was 17 years his mother told him to go out the house and find a job, but Asher wanted to be close to his mother so he decided to serve in the military army of Marna, that way his talent could be improved and better developed instead of sitting upstairs in the tavern. As soon as Asher joined they started the training, every day they had to practice with the swords, the food they were given wasnt the best and their places where they could sleep surely wasnt good. After a month of patrolling around the city and handeling small tasks he was promoted a higher position in the army. His first task to prove if he was worthy was to accompany an officer and his soldiers to hunt bandits who had been terrorizing the lands for a week. Asher made himself ready and immediately reported to the officer, they headed out the next day. Most of the soldiers were on foot, just like Asher. They went along the roads but they didnt find any bandits, the officer then decided to scout the forests and split his group up. Asher was put with the group that would scout the right side of the forest, for an entire day they still found no clues, so they decided to set camp and wait till the sun rose up. As the rest of the men were already sleeping, Asher was still awake, he wasnt used to this way of life. When he heard some footsteps, he jumped up looking around, until out of a sudden a lot of arrows were dropped on them, Asher was able to get into cover since he was awake, but most of the men woke up, screaming out their pain. And when the rest woke up it was too late, the bandits jumped on the soldiers that were lying on the ground and stuck their blades into their body. Asher turned around and made it for a run, a bandit came after him, Asher was out of breath quite early and the bandit catched up with him. Asher took out his blade and stared into the bandit's eyes, the man tried to swing around his axe, but Asher was lucky enough to step back and dodge the deadly blows. When he saw an opening, he took it and sticked the man with his blade into his belly. The man took a deep breath and closed his eyes, as soon as Asher pulled back his blade, the man fell down dead. But this wasnt the time yet for Asher to be happy, as he turned around he was surrounded by three other bandits, knowing he'd die he raised his blade up in the air, until he heard shouting, before Asher knew it he saw the bandit in front of him being slashed from behind by a soldier with the same colors he was wearing. The officer of the other group was just in time to save him, even though the rest of Asher's group was probably dead. The bandits were driven away and the group of soldiers returned back home, where Asher was praised amongst the other veteran soldiers, the only one who was left alive from an ambush. Asher was happy and proud, he knew that this was the only way for him to live as it was the only thing he was good in.
