Ashir is a chemist/cook and ardent, who lives with his wife, Geranid, " ... on a tiny Reshi island, technically sent to provide for the religious needs of any Vorin visitors." However, for Ashir, living there was a way of getting away and focusing on both his and his wife's experiments.[1]
His Calling is " ... chemistry - through cooking ... as it always allowed him to eat the results."[1]
Characteristics[]
He likes to talk and has a soft, kindly voice. However, stating that he tires of cooking because he doesn't have the passion for it that he once did, he questions the worth of a cook in the Spiritual Realm.[1]
| “ | The body must be fed in the Physical Realm, but the spirit exists in a completely different state.[1] | ” |
Further, he wonders whether those within the Cognitive Realm eat.[1]
| “ | I'll have to read and see if anyone has ever eaten while visiting Shadesmar.[1] | ” |
He isn't as strong in mathematics as he is in theory.[1]

A. It already has. The two scholars measuring the spren.[3]
