Asher Slum

Origin
Asher Slum is the leader of the renowned Slum Gang on the Neej of Gage. Asher grew up a criminal; even as a child she was a pickpocket. She formed a gang of her own, the Slum Gang, in order to stand up to the other gangs on the Neej of Gage. Eventually, Asher became the most feared gangster on the Neej. When King Drall and Kath Volt seized control of Serrellia, Asher submitted to their law and accepted the Krightlock occupation. This pleased Drall, and he gave her control over the Neej. Her preferred weapon is her two-headed axe, Clarice.

Skirmish at the Vagabond's Mug
having her ship, The Floating Whisper stolen from her junkyard by dashing space pilot Cal Moricas, Slum and three members of her gang (Nebulous Noth Durin, Laibu Noth Hihnjathu, and Quolar Noth Entu) to The Vagabond's Mug, a mud tavern owned by possible former Slum Gang member, Junnit Truelight Noth Hyll. In the tavern she saw Moricas talking to a Noth Durin and a human, as well as Junnit herself. In a fit of rage, Slum ordered her three underlings to beat up Moricas, as he had her spaceship and (later revealed) her map to The Winds of Beyond. To Slum's surprise, the human female and the Noth Durin joined the skirmish while Slum watched in amusement. Asher Slum's former drug and magic suppliers, Lou Taboo and Mate ambushed them in the middle of the fight. Slum easily evaded Taboo's attack and managed to capture him, the human female, the Noth Durin, and Moricas. Mate was left behind after Lou Taboo convinced Slum that he was an inanimate doll. As the Slum Gang left The Vagabond's Mug, Asher and Junnit conversed over a subject that is still unknown.

Theories

 * Asher is/was best friends and/or lover of Junnit Truelight
 * Asher is the spirited away child of Zytanian Tant and his wife Yelir, making her royalty.
 * it should be noted this was mooostly a joke between cast members Kahlo Smith (who played Asher) and Craig Yeomans (Zytanian).

Behind the Scenes

In the original draft of the play, the Slums (who had an appearance resembling that of a rat) would have chased Lyla Stone on a jumpbike chase through the streets of the Neej.

Sampson Miller's inspiration for Asher Slum was from one of his real-life summer camp bullies.
