Personal history
As a direct descendent of Teregun Yarr, Ahskaf and his brother Helios were natural leaders of the True Templars like their father before them. Teregun being the oldest ascended to the mantel of leadership when his father died over four hundred years ago. He had grown up in the seclusion of the Cradle of Eternity following the old ways of the Ordo Templaris. Tradition was one of the cornerstones of the inhabitants of the Cradle, much because of their isolation form the rest of the galaxy. Ahskaf grew up learning these traditions and the importance of them. In contrast to his brother however, he over time felt it was important to find a way to reach out to the rest of the galaxy and reconnect.
The Cradle became split, with a majority for staying isolated claiming only The Architect had the authority to decide when they could reemerge. A confrontation between Ahskaf and Helios resulted in Ahskafs imprisonment leaving Helios in command of the Cradle. When the fifth Crusade rediscovered the Cradle they were at first taken to the prison for safe keeping until they could be questioned. They met Ahskaf here, and he convinced them he had been wrongly imprisoned. They helped him escape, and later stage an invasion of the Cradle. This is when Ahskaf revealed his true intentions to the fifth Crusaders, killing Ehoc in the process and taking once again command of the Cradle.
With the gateway on the Cradle once more operational Ahskaf was able to launch his own Crusade with what he has named the True Templars.
Education
Like most individuals in the Cradle Ahskaf has a long and extensive education. The very nature of the Cradle and the lack of enemies or war allows for a focus on education and research. He is educated well in politics and statecraft, mostly theoretical due to being isolated for most of his life in the Cradle. He has the equivalent of a doctorate in biology, biochemistry, physics and computer science. Several decades were also spent learning military strategies, combat training and psychological warfare, something required of the leader of the cradle in the event of discovery or an invasion.
