All information about Ahsav that has come up during sesions, plus a general recap of his actions during each session.
Ahsav was introduced to the party during the first session, appearing as Mithrada Rah (elven: Lord Rah).
The whole party quickly meets him in the Tower of Banishment during Session Two, where he claims to have been there for a few days before the party was arrested. He helps them all get out of the Tower by pretending to choke out Sophie to get put in solitary, where the loose wall bricks are. They wander through thw woods, and get to the coast. When ti comes time to be in the boat, he sits away from Dido, and keeps Rah away because of her fear of ravens.
As they quickly get out of the Exiled Archipelago, and they play "What the Fuck is Up With That?" He is apprehensive about answering questions or playing. He answers a few questions but is fairly vauge with his answers. As they arrive on shore, he and Rah go to check on a cache, which Odessa shared with a friend called Raven. He argues that he has always used this cache, and cares very little if it was hers and her friends. He doesn't take part in the group's emotional chat, making it a bit clear he doesnt want to be involved in it.
In Session Four, he and Fable take the group into the Forbidden Woods, where Ahsav says he has made friends with King Oisín, and that he owes him a few favors. As they walk through the woods, he shares that the wispflowers smell like honeycakes to him, because they remind him of home. When they go to meet the king, he is respectful, but it is clear the two know eachother well. Finally, he follows after the group to help them with Queen Ealasaid's garden.
Ahsav keeps his distance during Session Five, but sticks close enough to listen to the group's fortunes and their questions to Fortuna. Once everyone gets their questions done, he talks privately to Fortuna, which the party (Rags, Vega, Odessa) try to eavesdrop on, but they cant understand the dialect of Infernal they speak.
In Session Six, he goes shopping with Odessa, and suggests items that she could get that might help her. The two seem friendly, like they were nearly always freiends (albiet bickering friends). When they regroup with the others, they all have to go back to the palace to recieve news from the king. When their conversation is over, he is pulled aside by Oisín and the two have a talk which is eavesdropped by Rags, Vega, and Odessa. When it is revealed that Ahsav was Raven, Odessa's friend froim the tower, she and him argue, and she punches him, and he takes it. He argues that he can't tell her why he lied to her. She leaves, upset at him, and he slinks away.
Sophie and Dido approach him during Session Seven, and try to get his side of the story. Ahsav explains that if he could explain, he would have. Sophie and Dido convince him to dance to make up with Odessa, and lure him to the fey ballroom to get him to dance. When he and Odessa dance, they apologize, and they talk for a bit about themselves, and he opens up slightly. However, when they wake up the next day, he seems closed off, and appears to be injured, but they cant see where. He refuses any help, and keeps back from the group again. Rags investigates the magic around him, which reminds her of the magic from the Cult of Rasha, and makes her leave the room to make some space between them. The City of Ruin is brought up at one point, and Sophie and Odessa can hear him say "Long live the Stellaris of Old", which Odessa fondly repeats, and Sophie says quietly to herself. Dido also recognizes the phrase from her past. As they walk, Rags and Sophie investigate Ahsav, and realize that he is most likely a Warlock. They don't know anything about his pact, but after is gone, and they bring it up with the rest of the group, they believe that his pact may be involuntary.
