Backstory: Aslan Jade Callenreese was born in the dawning of August 12, 1968 in Cape Cod, a peninsula located in the southern coast of Massachusetts in the northeast of the United States. His teenage mother, a young hippie girl from Boston city with a wanderer lifestyle, abandoned him shortly after giving birth to him and left him in the care of his father, Jim Callenreese. Ash's mother died shortly after she left Cape Cod to return to her parents home in Boston as a result of a drug overdose before she reached the age of maturity. Ash's maternal grandparents, who had forced their daughter to return home without her newborn son Aslan, bury their teen daughter in a suburban Boston cemetery where Ash was later buried alongside his mother following her death in 1987. His father relinquishes Ash's care to Griffin, his older half-brother, who raises him. When Ash was six years old, Griffin was called to serve in the army and was sent to Vietnam (Iraq in the anime) while Ash was cared for by his father. When Ash was seven years old, he was raped by his Little League coach. When his father went to report the sexual assault, the police believed his rapist to be not guilty as he was a 'big shot'. His father told Ash that next time, he should let the assault happen but then ask to be paid. After Ash is abused several more times by the same man, he grabs his father's gun without his knowledge and kills his rapist at the age of eight. The police found bones of children in his basement, and the case caused notoriety. Ash's aggressor becomes known as the Blue Beard of Cape Cod. Ash was found not guilty in the eyes of the law but became the talk of the small town. Ash's father decides to send him away to live with his aunt, but before he is able to, Ash runs away from home. As a destitute child, Ash is captured by men who traffic children for prostitution. Ash is sent to work at Club Cod, a child sex trafficking establishment operating under the guise of a restaurant owned by Mafia Don Dino Golzine. At Club Cod, he learned how to entice customers using his charisma. Eventually, he would catch the personal eye of Marvin Crosby who "sold" him to Dino, who opted to keep Ash as a personal "pet" or sex slave. Under Golzine, he is "cultured" and trained as a member of the upper class, made to taste various kinds of wine, learn proper table manners, and receive an outstanding education. This education includes hand and fire combat instruction from the world's most recognized teachers, one of which was Blanca. At fourteen, Ash falls in love with a girl, but she is killed before anything develops when she is thought to be his girlfriend. At age fifteen, Ash is sent to juvenile detention for killing three people. This is where he meets Shorter Wong, who becomes his close friend and helps him unify the gang territories of lower Manhattan. Around the age of fifteen or sixteen, Ash finds his brother, Griffin Callenreese, in a run-down hospital for veterans from Vietnam and decides to take care of him. At age seventeen, Ash has grown to unite many gangs under his command and becomes both a feared and admired leader in Manhattan, compelling fierce loyalty but showing little to no mercy towards those who betray him. Relationships:
- Shorter Wong: Ash's best friend and fellow gang leader. The two first met when they became cellmates in juvie and Shorter was tasked with looking out for Ash. Ash hadn't thought much of Shorter at first and constantly mocked his lack of hair but grew to respect him after Shorter helped him to learn not to hurt others in certain ways as it would have made him exactly like those who had hurt him. - Griffin Callenreese: Ash's older half-brother. Griffin raised Ash after he was born until he had to leave to fight in the war. Their father, Jim Callenreese, relinquished Ash's care to Griffin after Ash's teen mother left him to return to her hometown and died a short time later. During flashbacks the two are shown to be quite close and Ash is very fond of his brother to the point that he became upset when Griffin had to leave to fight in the war. After Griffin had been affected by Banana Fish and was placed in a veteran hospital, Ash removed his brother from this location to take care of him and try to figure out how he came to be the way he was. - Skip: Young informant (thought to be about 12) and member of Ash's gang. During his time in the series, Ash trusted Skip to be the one to look after Griffin when he was not able to. Knowing how young Skip is, Ash tries to keep him away from the gang violence as much as possible and looks out for his safety. - Blanca: While Ash respects and cares for him, he's absolutely terrified when he finds out that Blanca is in the picture. He is the one who trained him in numerous areas and considers Blanca one of his superiors and potentially someone he cannot beat. - Alex: Ash’s second in command of the gang is tasked with defending Eiji. When leaving to finalize the deal with Yut and Golzine, he leaves everything in Alex's hands. - Jim Callenreese: Ash's biological father. Ash was born due to Jim's relationship with a hippie teenager girl, whom he met when she came to Cape Cod for summer vacation and who left him with their newborn son. Ash appears aware that his father allowed Griffin to care for him before heading to the war. While Jim cared for his son afterward and was highly upset about Ash being attacked by his little league coach, Ash was instructed by his father to ask for money when the assaults happened. Their relationship has been strained since Ash ran away from home, but they still care for each other greatly. - Jennifer: Ash's stepmother. While they are not shown interacting much, they appear to have a loving relationship and show great concern for each other's safety. Ash potentially saw her as the closest to a mother figure he would have in life. - Nadia Wong: Through knowing Shorter, Ash came to have a sibling-like relationship with Nadia, viewing her as an older sister and one of the few women who genuinely cared for him. - Frederick Arthur: Ash's enemy. Previously, Downtown's gang leader in Manhattan and a cruel ex-member of Ash's gang. Ash and Arthur are well known to be hated rivals of one another and fight quite often, though Arthur is usually the one starting the fights. Despite knowing Arthur's more underhanded methods and ruthless taunting nature, Ash is well aware of the kind of damage that Arthur is capable of. - Dino Golzine: Dino is the man who made Ash to be a cold-blooded killer, raped Ash as a child, and kept him as his own personal "pet". Ash is known to dislike Dino for this and much more extensively and hopes to one day put an end to Dino's terror. Personality: Ash has the personality, charisma, and skill to gather large groups of individuals together under his influence. Not only is he excellent in combat and an incredible marksman, but he is also highly intelligent, with an IQ of 180-200. His intelligence lends itself well to solving the mystery of 'Banana Fish' and he has also been stated to be quite well-read, knowing his way around the newspaper's daily columns and political novels- unusual for someone who did not finish middle school. Along with his remarkable intelligence, Ash's good looks and charisma allow him to sway people's will to his benefit in dire situations, and he's well aware of it. Despite his influence over others, however, Ash is mistrustful and holds most people at arms-length except for a few select friends in his inner circle, including his long-time best friend Shorter, He is not afraid of death not because of courage, as he calls himself a coward, but because of his disillusionment with his own life. Ash's character is mostly defined by his constant struggle for freedom against his oppressors, his fight to overcome his trauma over sexual abuse, and, most importantly, to find his real place in the world. Likes: The NY public library, shrimp and avocado. Dislikes: pumpkins, hamburgers. Notes: - Ash is afraid of pumpkins, a phobia that developed when he accidentally scared himself on Halloween when he was young. - It takes Ash 0.03 seconds to pull the trigger of a gun after he has the target spotted. - when he’s lying, he becomes quiet and stops joking around. - He identifies as bisexual. - He wakes up cranky due to his low blood pressure. - Despite never making it through elementary school due to his circumstances, his intelligence allowed him to pick up higher mathematics through books. - Blanca points out that he has a faint Irish accent because he is third-generation Irish. - Ash is revealed to have been sold to Golzine by Marvin. - Because of his attractive appearance, Ash is often called a peacock. The term describing that his beautiful appearance lures people in before attacking. - Ash is ambidextrous. - the car Dino gave him when he was sixteen was a Rolls Royce.
