Asav

"A Hoysala poet once wrote of a young king who showed mercy and thus ended our rituals. But the old kings, they understood that progress demands... sacrifice"

- Asav to Chloe Frazer

Asav is the primary antagonist of the 2017 action-adventure game, ''Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. ''An insurgent leader, Asav hates the bloodline of the new kings that is rampant in his country, therefore he desires to spark a civil war that will wipe out and return India to the way of the old kings with the Tusk of Ganesh.

Background
Little is known about Asav's background other than that he was training to be a doctor before he became a rebel. He is well read in Hoysala culture and the old kings of India.

Asav had a business dealing with Nadine Ross and though it is never specified, based on his interactions with her in The Lost Legacy it was presumably a romantic one, though it ended badly.

After months of unsuccessfully fighting the Indian government, Asav began hunting for the Tusk of Ganesh to sell on the black market. He kidnapped Sam Drake to help him with this and his partner, Chloe Frazer called Nadine to help locate the Tusk.
