Ashura finally heard the news that Locke has appointed a Jedi as Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos; His first though was the Locke has lost his mind, but that quickly vanished as gears upon gears started to move in his mind, mostly to do with the possibilities that a Jedi lent itself as House leader. Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar had once been a Dark Jedi, trained by Naga Sadow’s current Proconsul, which meant this Jedi has made a conscious choice to follow the Light path. Ashura smiled as he thought of what that entailed.

To the Sith Warlord it brought plans to use this Jedi as a cover for more of his nefarious projects. This would mean acting upon his ability to more his puppets into curtain positions that all him to achieve a lot of goals. Power was once of those goals, however after being absent from the clan, it wasn’t a matter of simply showing up and taking his rightful place. Start small. Perhaps he could position himself into taking leadership of the new battle team.

His ultimate goal was to claim the leadership of Marka Ragnos; this wouldn’t be as easy as he liked but the Jedi presented opportunities. Ashura knew Sang’s loyalties was likely tied to his former master, Cethgus Tiberius Entar, who had his loyalties tied to Locke; for the moment anyway. Power plays were common as dirt. Playing everyone against each other was a giant complexed chess board that has many players on the field. His puppets allowed Ashura to move them around without being to open about his movements. For now, play the loyal member, until the wind changed of course.

Being a Son of Sadow meant more than just being loyal to his clan (and in turn his house), for many of them it was a commitment to the ideals that Naga Sadow represented, which was beyond any Consul, Proconsul and others who held leadership positions. After all, leaders came and went, ideals lingered on. Ashura, like others, knew that these ideals was the true path to follow. Legacies were born out of these ideals, the codex that allowed these ideals to be manifested through action. Like how gaining favour was a powerful tool; call it a side effect to gaining power. He would ensure that Locke and Cethgus would bargain for his support of this Jedi Quaestor to remain in power.
