PERSONALITY
Ahsonov was a cruel man with faith in the Stem Rams entitlement to their land. He held a deep hatred for off-worlders and a twisted and corrupt sense of pride in the fact that he had destroyed their livelihoods. Life and death, satisfaction, and suffering were objective states of being in his eyes. Those who had the longest, most satisfying life were the best. In his eyes, his people were the only ones who deserved the best.
TRIVIA
Ahsonov was born with prosopagnosia, and it destroyed his ability to socialize normally.
HISTORY
He was one child out of many in a large extended family of Stem Rams. He was neglected by his stressed-out parents who had to compete with several local off-world businesses, often complaining about them during dinner time. Ahsonov ended up being frequently bullied by others in school for seeming aloof and distance, something that was a combination of his undiagnosed prosopagnosia and outlook caused by his parent's ramblings. After school, he would frequently find himself killing invasive worms on the outskirts of Stem City's soil as a way to pass the time.
He became connected with the Stem's Origin cult in his teenage years as his parents continued to support their other children. The secret Stem Ram society fanned his burning feelings of isolation into outright hatred of those that outcast him. Using their connections, the group managed to get a young adult Ahsonov into a professorship. Using his new position of power, he harassed and bullied off-world kids. Though he was reported and issued warnings by the school a few times, the cult always managed to pull strings to keep it out of legal records.
Ahsonov went out to Stem Ram majority communities and held conversations about his experiences in school, inflating how the off-worlder children were preventing their own from learning properly. He suggested proper segregation several times but was shot down by the council's school policies again and again; he asked the people to speak out about this behavior.
By the age of 42, he was a well-known public speaker in most of the major Stem Ram communities around Stem City. He went from speaking strictly about the school system to all sorts of things: politics, economics, and most of all, the failings of the government in giving the native people respect.
Then the Stem's Origin people staged terrorist acts, pinning them on extremist off-worlders. His now propagandized community threw into fits of rage, despising the off-worlders that made their home in Stem City.
Tension bubbled higher over the next few years, with both Ahsonov's speech contents and the cult's attacks growing in number and strength.
The cult managed to hire a man to attempt and fail an assassination attempt on Ahsonov.
Stem City exploded. Ahsonov used his influence to assemble an army of rams and storm the council's base of operations. Stem's Origin exploited a vulnerability in the Lawmen to reroute them to a new database. Ahsonov took over the government and became the first ever administrator of Stem City's new Stem Tower. In the following years, he would deploy the SILENCE ACT and NATIVE PRIORITY ACT.
Ahsonov finally had all the control and attention he desired. Yet, paranoia grew that the cultists would regret what they did. So, with Unnun's help, he was the last of those who knew of Stem's Origin's involvement.
The majority of radicalized Stem Rams, referred to as nobles within Stem City's legislation, loved what he had done to the off-worlders; he had done the right thing by giving them back full control over their native land.
However, as he grew older and more senile, Unnun told him to establish a new heir. He did as he was told. XX490 to XX495 were his final years alive, finally removed from power and allowed to live a peaceful life in luxury in the neighborhood he built atop a hoard of bloodied alien corpses.
