The first fact is that Ashborn has a rather grandiose nickname: “Greatest Fragment of Brilliant Light.” This nickname reflects his immense power and authority, even before he became a Shadow Monarch.

After further investigation, Ashborn wasn't originally a shadow ruler. He was actually a member of the Ruler race, majestic beings created from pure light. As a Ruler, Ashborn's primary duty was to maintain the balance of the world and protect it from the threat of the Monarchs, who sought destruction.
