Ashura can present himself as something he is not as he is able to mimic feelings and empathy. He doesn’t actually feel or care but may pretend to so to further his goals. As a intelligential sociopath, Ashura is analytical and views life as a game, calculating everything along with meticulously planning. He does at time show a serial killer tendency that must be quenched quickly or it will affect his mental state.

Ashura enjoys “reprogramming” opponents whose minds have been broken. This is done by specialising in mind altering Force abilities, once completed it allows Ashura’s “puppets” to be used for various roles to aid the clan, only to be discarded once completed. This is not true for Ashura’s “favourite puppet”, which is always a woman and a Force user, he enjoys taking his time to ensue her “reprogramming” benefits his own goals.

People tend to reverently follow Ashura Isradia Sadow’s lead and look up to him in difficult situations. Whether through inspirational behavior, fear and manipulation, or belief and hope for a better future, they think that Ashura Isradia Sadow genuinely believes what he does. This is all a clever facade, however, as Ashura Isradia Sadow is not always as upstanding and respectable as his followers believe. He is no idol, but an opportunist who knows how to manipulate a crowd into bettering his own machinations.

The Sith rely on their passions to give them strength. Ashura Isradia Sadow thinks inwards, only of things that matter to him, and always does what is in his best interests. He feels nothing about hurting others, or exploiting opportunities, and believes himself to be special, and above all others.

Through careful study and dedication to isolated martial-combat, Ashura Isradia Sadow has turned the act of dueling into an art form. A keen eye and attention to detail allows him the ability to learn their opponent's idiosyncrasies while fighting. Ashura Isradia Sadow then uses his own skills to capitalize on the opponent's weakness. Because of this calculated approach to isolated duels, Ashura Isradia Sadow has a harder time taking on multiple opponents at once at higher skill levels.

Ashura Isradia Sadow seems to get his thrills, perhaps sadistic ones at that, from toying with his opponents. Some are content with simply striking down or injuring their opponent, but that is not enough for Ashura Isradia Sadow. No, he wishes to see his enemy descend into madness or kneel before him as a blathering mess; or even better, as a fresh new servant with a muddled mind. The Puppeteer usually forsakes outright hurting and maiming his opponent and focuses on illusions, mind tricks, and other wicked means of destroying a person.
