Do not anguish for his state, he’s too far gone for pity
Passing through howling gates to the ashen city!
While he sings out his throes and they gently repose,
Carts corpses to a forgotten Hell!

POWER(S)Vampiric strength, smell, and hearing. This might be the equivalent of having the strength to rip a parking meter out of the ground. With focus, he can hear the heartbeats of living creatures and gain their scent from a moderate distance away, barring major obstructions and residual noise/smells.
HAIR/FURPale blonde, waist length with bangs that hang past his eyes, pushed away just enough so that he can see.
EYESNarrow and colored violet.
BODY TYPEHumaniod
APPEARANCEHis oval, pale face holds softer, more feminine features, with a straight nose and bow-shaped lips. In fact, it's easy to mistake him for a woman, or at the least be incredibly confused about what he is. He has a slender, androgynous build with a height of 5’11”.
Ashemir wears loose and draping materials on his person: usually a large hooded velvet violet cloak, a beige tunic with three-quarter sleeves, and dull green slacks which tuck into knee-high black boots laced up the inward sides. Brass chains are attached to to metal rings in the fabric of his layered, saturated blue, and starburst-patterned scarf. The chains continue a fair length to his wrists, still providing ample movement, attached to large, circular brass bracelets. His white sash pins a golden, floral-patterned, and billowing piece of material to his narrow hips that falls to his knees. A keyring is hidden in the folds of his sash, and he wears three pairs of earrings: sapphire studs, drop earrings of multiple shards of padparadscha, and small gold hoops.
While not associated with appearance, Ashemir smells like a damp forest.

PERSONALITYAlthough he appears formal and collected on the outside, Ashemir’s emotions fester on the inside. When he's not holing himself up and wallowing in his seclusion and self-pity, he can be extremely frustrating and difficult to deal with, insulting those he’s talking to and speaking in circles. Despite his isolation, he diligently maintains his appearance, and he will comb his hair out multiple times a day. Ashemir is a rather conniving, petty, and vindictive individual, with no moral qualms over killing others for sustenance (although for practicality's sake, he usually just feeds until the victim is unconscious) or using his appearance to manipulate others.
In fact, his seclusion and sour nature have rendered him incapable of responding intelligibly to certain social situations, especially those involving good will towards him.

HISTORYAshemir was the youngest of three sons from a wealthy merchant family living in Carvalo City. Through a combination of his parents' wishes and his own volition, he stayed inside for the majority of his life. He blamed his appearance for the lack of love he received from both his parents and himself, made miserable by what society expected of him and what he was not adequate enough to give. He began to suspect his parents of arranging a marriage for him, when one night he met a mysterious pale girl.
Slowly, their relationship developed into love, but the pale girl, named Anna, insisted that he not speak of it to anyone that he knew. After the years, she confessed her vampirism, which Ashemir regarded with apprehension until he slowly came to accept it. However, his second-eldest brother, Ardim, took to watching his younger brother's activities out of worry until he figured out that Ashemir was seeing a vampire. One night, he confronted Ashemir about it, causing an escalating argument and eventually threatening to kill Anna. In desperation, Ashemir took the nearest blunt object in the room and bludgeoned his brother to death. At the realization of what he had done, he quickly gathered his more precious possessions to leave immediately. Sathime discovered the corpse of Ardim and caught Ashemir fleeing the property, at which Sathime chased Ashemir down and struck him down from the back with a blade. Anna arrived on the scene, tearing Sathime's throat out before she bit Ashemir and turned him to save him from death.
Anna was never mentally healthy, her madness cushioned by a wistful sort of charm. After a century or so of traveling, she and Ashemir got into a fight, which was left unresolved when they both walked away from each other to cool down. After a few hours of being separated, her mind simply snapped. She went into a frenzy, slaughtering the beings of a gang. Obviously, she was overwhelmed and killed when the group had regained their bearings. Ashemir recovered Anna's body after the frenzy and fled to the outskirts of the city, where he made a shallow grave for her with his hands and his tears. He heartbrokenly found shelter in Atiello, slipping into the mine and making a hidden home for himself in the labyrinth of tunnels, where he occasionally snacks on unsuspecting miners. Now, after some decades, his grief has festered into a dark desire for vengeance, and the answer is clear enough to him: for their crime, this entire gang must be destroyed.
