While a much older generation, Ashtear sneers down on Ryu's ancestry and derides him as a slave of convention and tradition, and upon his defeat, remains defiant. In their first confrontation, Ashtear proudly introduces himself as the head chairman of the Lords of Alchemy, quickly revealing his bloodline's connection to alchemy and their desire to usher in a new millennium through the culmination of their research. Proud, arrogant, and condescending, Ashtear frequently mocks Ryu during their brief encounters, even expressing disappointment with Ryu's performance in London after watching the Dragon Ninja be unable to escape the bombardment of the Prime Minister's home.

Also due to his advanced age, he is always seen in a highly advanced floating wheelchair device, which becomes his cockpit upon creating his larger mecha body during his confrontation with Ryu atop the Black Narwhal.Īshtear is bald, while the back of his head has several wires connecting into the back of his floating chair station, and the right side of Ashtear's face is heavily burned or scarred, his right eye dull and off-center, while his left is a bright, vibrant blue, like the Regent of the Mask's. Ashtear wears a white suit and tie over a red shirt, with matching golden buttons and cufflinks. Ashtear is a much older man compared to the relative youth of the Ninja Gaiden 3 cast, fitting with his status as the grandfather of the adult Cliff and Theodore Higgins.
