At eighteen, he and Kelly were murdered. Ashe returned as a Crow, a fallen soul tormented by pain, sworn to redeem his life and death. He overstepped his bounds however, and instead of redemption, took the path of revenge. For this, he was blocked from returning to the Land of the Dead. He took the surname "Stormcrow" after his raven companion and counselor He wandered for many months, before meeting Lilyana O'Ryan, and they fell in love. That love caused them to be married, and for Ashe's Crow state to be revoked. Now he lives with her and their many children, converted to Vampire by Lilyana, and still bearing remnants of his Crow state.
