Codex[]
The Codex is a description of the background of Asher Forrester and the other characters within the game. The Codex gets updated as the player character story arc continues.
Asher had always been a rebellious youth—brawling in taverns, sleeping with whores, and finding ways to raise his father’s ire. But his life took a dark turn when, at age seventeen, he fell in love with Gwyn Whitehill, the eldest daughter of his father’s bitter rival. Bloodshed ensued, and Lord Forrester faced a grim choice: go to war or exile Asher across the Narrow Sea. He chose the latter. Asher remains in Essos to this day, living as a sellsword, trying not to think about the life he left.
Character biography (villainous choices)[]
Asher Forrester is many a mentally unstable man with a thirst for fighting and killing. Asher solves his problems with fighting over talking or trying to find an understanding. He is also quick to react to violence when he notices someone he cares for being abused, as he beat a bully nearly to death that used to torment his younger brother, Ethan Forrester. Under normal circumstances, this would be considered a heroic act since he was defending his brother, but the bully that Asher injured was merely a child who was about the age of eight to ten years old.
Even though Asher is a violent fighter, he has a sense of humour. Asher enjoys irritating his enemies during battle by trash-talking them or humiliating them during the fight, but this can be a strategy during battle, so the other warrior becomes frustrated and loses the ability to think clearly.
Asher is a skilled fighter and arguably the most powerful swordsman in House Forrester. His most commonly used weapons are a hatchet that was forged by his family and a sword that he found in Essos.
In the city of Yunkai, a former slave town, after the slave liberation, in the land of Essos. Asher works as a sellsword, capturing anyone with a high bounty on their head, such as a former slave master. Asher works alongside his friend Beskha, a female mercenary who shares Asher's love for battle, killing, drinking, and whores. Asher is hated by the other sellswords in Yunkai for his unspecified actions in the past.
When Malcom arrived in Essos to give Asher the news of his brother's death and the current state of House Forrester, Asher decided to return home to Ironrath and bring back an army of sellswords to slaughter House Whitehill for taking his family's land.
