About Ashavere

Ashavere was born into a family of lesser nobles in Nidal with a long lineage of necromancy and a frightening devotion to Zon-Kuthon. Their parents were ruthless in hunting down Desnean worshippers. And from
an early age they were taught the ways of dark magic. At age 12, when the time came to officially enter the ZonKuthonian fold, they received an arcane tattoo, a set of bat wings across their shoulder blades. It was the family's customary rite of passage that initiates cast the final killing spell in the weekly torture and crucifixion of followers
of Desna. They were to sacrifice an older couple who had only the slightest hint of life in them. When the time came, they began to cast but when their eyes met those of their would be victims, they simply couldn't do it. In disgust, their father intervened, casting instead and forcing them to watch as the life left the worshippers. They were left alone with the bodies, and it was then that their path truly
began. A butterfly of Desna appeared and led them away, first from their town, then from Nidal. They found work and passage on a boat of young army recruits bound for Lastwatch and by the time the boat docked in Vigil, they had joined the recruits and taken the name of Ashavere. The champions of Iomedae (though Desna and her followers still have a special place in their heart) is now the only family they need and they have made it their life's mission to redeem their family by fortifying golarion against the evil that threatens from within and without.
Now after two decades serving in Vigil, they have left on a new mission, to recruit and inspire others to the cause.

Each year the numbers entering service have dwindled, but the evil that they fight grows ever stronger...
