Ashley Ashra

Ashley Ashura (アシュレイ・アシュラ, Ashurei Ashura) is a skilled Knightmare pilot that loves war. A wild and arrogant man who believes that only luck dictates one's life. He has shown to have little regard for his own life as he 'posses' an abundant supply of luck. He is also the leader of one of the units within the Knights of St. Michael.

Ashley was eager led the Ashura Strike Force under orders of new Grand Master Shin Hyuga Shing who led the Knights of St. Michael against the EU W-0 squadron in the Battle of Sloim. His knights ambushed the European knightmares as Ashley himself engaged the Ghost of Hannibal himself Akito Hyuga. The knights managed to destroy all the drones and began to overwhelm the pilots when Akito's Geass influence spread to the rest of W-0 pilots. Under the new blood lust, the EU turned the tide.

Ashley fought fiercely against various W-0s and managed to hold out against a beserked Akito. Eventually, Akito defeated him but as the European Japanese pilot made the killing blow, Johanne Fabius one of his knights he had chatised for being naive earlier took the blow. In his dying breath, Johanne wished his commander good luck.

His sacrafice seemed to horrified Akito who stood dumbstruck as his Geassed mind blacklashed the other pilots. Without the bloo

d lust, the St. Michael knights rallied and disabled the rest of the W-0 knightmares.

Taking advantage of the stunned Akito, Grand Master Shing took field and disabled the Ghost of Hannibal. When Shing ordered Akito to retreat, Ashley demanded to take the blow being angered by Johanne's sacrafice but reluctantly obeyed taking his fallen comrade's body and knightmare with him.
