History:
A former Garlean conscript initially drafted into the IVth legion, Ashton defied expectations through an almost supernatural talent for calmness.While training to earn his solitude, his master was killed by a Garlean patrol, with Ashton and his fellow Wood-warders-to-be taken and conscripted into the Imperial Military. Ashton's talent for curved blades earned him training with a fellow conscript: the Samurai known simply as "Habaki."Under Habaki's guidance, and with his ability to stay singularly calm at all times, Ashton found himself on the winning end of several key battles for the Garleans. In 1572 of the Sixth Astral Era, Ashton was promoted to the rank of Decurion while being reassigned to the VIIth alongside a unit of Samurai for the invasion of Eorzea. Ashton was assigned to train and prepare his unit for the incursion of Mor Dhona at Carteneau.(More to come)
