Despite being known to have a temper, he is a humble man and an idealist at heart.{{tes ref|30}}{{tes ref|42}} He loves to write terrible poetry and enjoys a good debate. He is arrogant, but secretly wishes he could be something other than what he became.{{tes ref|59}} He hates fish but does enjoy hearing himself give speeches.{{tes ref|70}}{{tes ref|epilogue}}

 

Ashravan had a younger brother who died when Ashravan was six.{{tes ref|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 was part of the reason that it was Ashravan's favorite color.{{tes ref|30}}

 

At some point Ashravan began to keep a private journal, perhaps to reflect on the choices he made. He left instructions to have it burned upon his death.{{tes ref|17}}

|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.

The urgings of his mentor Gaotona were a significant factor in his becoming emperor, and Ashravan eventually grew to resent Gaotona because he felt inadequate.{{tes ref|70}}

 

One night, a group of assassins, agents of the [[Glory Faction]], broke into the emperor's rooms and attacked him and his wife, [[Kurshina]].{{tes ref|85}} Kurshina was killed, and Ashravan sustained a severe injury to the head. 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 powerful [[soulstamp]] known as an [[Essence Mark]] to rewrite the soul of the emperor before the one hundred days of mourning were over.{{tes ref|2}}

 

* Ashravan seems to be named after the concept of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashavan Ashavan] from the Zoroastrian faith. This is backed by Brandon actively being influenced by ancient Zoroastrian words for Rose Empire names.{{wob ref|2857}}
