==Appearance and Personality==

===Early Life===
He had a younger brother who died when Ashravan was six.{{ref|b|tes|day|12}} He idolized his brother, but kept his feelings secret due to a belief that his brother would have made a better emperor. His brother’s fondness for green is the reason it is Ashravan's favorite color.{{ref|b|tes|day|30}}
At some point Ashravan began to keep a private journal, perhaps to reflect on the choices he had made. He left instructions to have it burned on his death.{{ref|b|tes|day|17}}

{{quote|I have decided, at long last, to agree to the demands of my faction. I will offer myself for the position of emperor, as Gaotona has so often encouraged. |Excerpt from Ashravan's personal journal}}
Despite the urgings of Gaotona, his mentor, being a significant factor in his becoming emperor, Ashravan eventually grew to resent Gaotona because he felt inadequate.{{ref|b|tes|day|70}}

One night a group of assassins, agents of the [[Glory Faction]], broken into the emperor's rooms and attacked him and his wife, Kurshina{{85, who was killed. He sustained an injury to the head and although a [[Resealing|Resealer]] was able to heal the wound, the emperor was left brain-dead. The arbiters of the Heritage Faction kept the emperor's status a secret by saying he had sequestered himself during the mourning period for his wife. The arbiters then tasked the Forger [[Wan ShaiLu]] to create a new soul for the emperor before the one hundred days of mourning were over.{{ref|b|tes|day|2}}
On the ninety-eight day of the mourning period Shai succeeded in creating a [[soulstamp]] to replicate Ashravan’s soul which he would have to be re-stamped with each day.{{ref|b|tes|day|98}} Buried in the stamp were certain triggers that Shai added to help nudge Ashravan into becoming the emperor he had always dreamed of being.{{ref|b|tes|day|101}}
