Asher is larger than life and lights up any room he enters. He is a jack of all trades, dabbling in various jobs depending on his current interests and fancies. His romance with Rick is rocky, but legendary.

Asher is a poet, a warrior, a musician, fashionista, lover, social rights activist, and that's barely scratching the surface. Asher is the epitome of a true romantic. He throws himself into any project, only to abandon it when a new flight of fancy comes along. At times fickle, at his core he is a die hard loyalist to a select few.
 
Like any good Byronic hero, Asher has a tortured past. He was born to a loving family on the White Bear Reservation. However, as he is the youngest out of 5 children, he is apprehended by Glendale Social Services as the Avalon government had determined that families could only take care of 3 children at a time. This leads to Asher and his brother being transported across the kingdom to Glendale and put into the foster care system. Their identities were changed and the paperwork destroyed to insure that it would be an impossible task for Asher’s birth family to kind him, or vice versa.
 
As he was a newborn, it was easy for the agency to find a placement for Asher. He was placed with the Katzman family. Elderly Moshe Katzman and Esther Katzman take Asher in eventually adopt Asher and provide him with a happy family in his early years. Sadly, when Asher was only 12 years old, his adopted father Moshe passed away from old age. Moshe’s death was devastating to the family, as his left Esther with nothing. Unable to pay her mortgage and taxes, Esther and Asher were forced from their family home and lived out of an old station wagon. Frail and aging, Esther was in no condition to work. So young Asher was forced to become the breadwinner to take care of his adopted mother.
 
From picking pockets, to card games, to telling fortunes, Asher slowly accrued enough to help Esther purchase a camper for the pair to make a home. On the outer limits of Glendale a Traveller caravan had formed on unowned land. Esther and Asher set down roots with the Travellers and quickly joined their community. The authorities would often chase the travellers away, so Asher’s teenage years was coloured with constant moves as the caravan struggled to find a safe place to call home.
 
Work for Asher varied. It really all depended on what was needed at the time and where he could make a quick buck. He was 16 when he began street fighting. While the lifestyle was risky, it was the quickest way Asher could raise enough money to cover Esther’s increasing medical costs. When the Travellers tried their hand at animal fighting, Asher was quick to put a stop to it, saving a bear cub from being torn apart by a rabid mutt. This bear would grow to be his loyal companion, Martin.
 
Once he’s of legal age, Asher gets a job at Narcissus as a go-go dancer and DJ. It’s here where he meets Jenelle Fuentez, a lounge singer, and her sidekick Ricardo Sá Cully, a handsome soldier with an air of mystery. Asher fell instantly in love with Rick, and resolved to pursue Rick until he finally won his heart.
 
Like all things, Asher accomplishes his goal. He and Rick are married and have an adorable dog, Picasso.
 
Their relationship is like all things in Asher’s life, dramatic. While the pair seldom fight, it is the world around them that tests their relationship. Despite the universes best efforts, Rick and Asher always find their way back to one another. Whether their love is fated, one cannot say. However, their love provides a life that is anything but boring.
 
When Asher’s sins threaten to tear apart his relationship with Rick, Asher resolves to dramatically change his life to earn back the trust of those closest to him.
 
When a travelling artist offers to paint Asher’s photo, he cannot help but be flattered and without any internal debate quickly agrees to the proposition. The mysterious artist creates a portrait that is surprisingly life like. Asher is shocked to see the detail and how much of his likeness the artist was able to capture. When finished, he kisses Asher passionately, then whispers in his ear to never lose the portrait. Asher never sees the artist again.
 
As time passes, Asher comes to realize the portrait has eerie powers. Whenever Asher performs an act of kindness, Asher begins to develop unsightly scars. The portrait’s features become more beautiful. However, when Asher is selfish, mean, or pulls a prank on his friends, the scars start to fade and the portrait becomes disfigured. This leaves Asher with the choice whether to be beautiful inside or outside.
 
Resolving to live as neutral of a life as possible, this philosophy is tested when Rick is injured and left in a coma. Refusing to leave Rick’s side, Asher stays by his side and cares for his every need. By the time Rick wakes, Asher’s scars are quite visible, leaving Asher constantly wearing a mask in public.
