Ashley
From TheHolo.Net Forums Wiki
Ashley was a Bakuran bounty hunter under the charge of Gorgja the Hutt. She was Aurelias Kazaar's first partner and lover.
Early Life
Ashley was born on Bakura to two parents, who are currently unknown. At some point she started following the Cosmic Balance religion and got a tattoo of a tilted version on her back.
Partnership With Aurelias Kazaar
- "She'd shown a kindness t'me I hadn't seen in ages...she was a true friend...a confidant. We were extensions of the other, each knowing where the other would be."
- ―Aurelias Kazaar talking about his partnership to Ashley
After Aurelias Kazaar's release from Imperial prison, Gorgja the Hutt decided to partner Kazaar with a veteran female bounty hunter named Ashley. The two were hesitant to work with each other, but became close allies and, eventually, an 'item'. They were once given the task of hunting down the Jedi Master Loklorien s'Ilancy (Ashley herself may have been Force sensitive).
Their partnership lasted almost seven years before Ashley was brutally murdered in a hotel room. Kazaar never found the killer, and blames himself for her death.
Legacy
- "The raw nerve that was Ashley seemed to work its way to the forefront time and again in Kazaar's life. Like a splinter that festers, it is pushed toward the surface to pain and aggrieve the senses before being gauzed over with a thick balm of bourbon and willful forgetfulness on Kazaar's part to be addressed at some other time - which never, ever really comes...His lot was to suffer the "not knowing" of what happened. A worse fate than knowledge of the truth."

Ashley's death caused plenty of problems in Kazaar's life. He spent a year in a drunken haze before his failed marriage to Adelaide Kasperian-Kazaar. Memories of Ashley would occasionally pop up in Kazaar's life, especially after he started working with Estelle Russard. As a gift, Kazaar gave Estelle Ashley's blaster (a Model 22T4 hold-out blaster pistol) and some of her clothes.
