Zirac was born into slavery by virtue of his family's lowly status within the Sith Empire. Like so many other Imperial slaves, he was bullied, reviled, and mistreated by his masters for much of his life. This bred in him a very bitter contempt and mistrust of others. However, also having been discovered to be force-sensitive, it was decreed that he, and all others like him, was to be sent to the Sith Academy on Korriban to be trained in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force so that he might serve the Empire's needs as another war with the Republic looms in the near future. Due to this change in his fortunes, Zirac feels compelled to take advantage of this chance to gain power, knowledge, and influence, so that he will never be a slave again. Being bitter and vengeful due to his treatment as a slave, he feels a special hatred toward all Imperial elites and officers, those being the ones he usually served in the past, as well as anyone in a position of superiority to him. His intense hatred and mistrust for those in authority greatly enhance his connection to the Force and helps him draw greatly from the power of the Dark Side.

Who did you romance again?

[@HokieGamer]

Zirac will be romancing Lana Beniko eventually. He certainly thought about romancing Ashara at times, but just didn't see himself with her in any serious relationship. Truth be told, he still sees her as little more than a child in her naivety, though still respecting her strength and skill as a Jedi Padawan. He will constantly endeavor to break her of her incessant need to adhere to Jedi philosophy, which he sees as persistent weakness that will always hold her back from her true potential.

[@Marquez2077]

HokieGamer oh okay, and what ever happened to that girl you romanced (or a one night stand) the one who was in your cult?

[@HokieGamer]

keyshawn AFRO DRAGON KING morrison: Oh, you mean Rylee on Nar Shaddaa. As far as I can remember, we only ever see her twice (in person), which is unfortunate. She is really sweet and very loyal, but is one of those NPC characters in the game that is only available as a "one night stand" romance option, I'm afraid :(

[@Marquez2077]

HokieGamer no worries it is what it is.

[@peteristevski3681]

Thanks for loading up a video where the Inquisitor didn't romance Ashara. She's too enslaved to the Jedi to the to ever give herself fully to the Inquisitor.

"How would you feel if you had a Jedi master and were serving the republic?"
Lord Scourge: Let me get back to you on that.

[@Antonin1738]

I forgot how "young" she sounds

[@Thebrainwashedturtle]

Andronikoss quote is quite explainful:Theres easy way hard way and theres your way

[@Kris-lu1rs]

I kinda feel bad for her... she seem so conflicted and distraught

[@kadirr8974]

So Ashara in a nutshell: "OMG :O:O:O"

[@ryandunham1047]

Someone else’s inquisitor, in response to Ashara saying that the Galaxy will only know peace when the Sith are all dead, said something like this: What will happen if you do destroy the Sith? Eventually, they’ll destroy themselves. Eventually, someone will fill the power vacuum and reunite the Sith. Sounded like he was predicting the New Sith Wars, Darth Ruin, and Darth Bane. Similar to how Kira predicted the role the Jedi took during those wars: Until Tarsis Valorum, the Senate gave the position of Chancellor to the Jedi, and individual planets and sectors gave themselves to Jedi Lords when the Republic effectivally collapsed during that time.

I thought I hated light side Jaesa this one is so much worse, she has the emotion to beacome sith but you just can't turn her to that side, honestly if I was sith and saw that she's never turning I'd end her back in that enclave no sith would put up with this, I had high hopes for this companion but this is just sad, she's worth only if u turn light side

[@anders1054]

I might be in the minority, but I don't like Ashara. Not as a person, but how she talks about this mission. Lets say the Inquisitor wants to alter the Empire, so that sane people are in charge. Not the bloodthirsty warmongering tyrants we see most of the time. It's a fair goal. But she starts talking about this mission and dragging Jedi into it. Even if you go the route of being rude to her, bullying her and defending the current Empire, she still starts talking about this mission. In her own way, she is completely infuriating. Though this is ultimately the writers fault. It's almost as if they want to force us down this particular path. And I hate that. In many ways, I wish we didn't get her as a companion. I would have much more preferred to have Zash as a companion(in a new body(not Khem's)).

[@rainofkhandaq6678]

If it's the minority, it's not by much. Honestly, she' s my least favorite companion.
Her voice annoys me, what she says annoys me, just about everything.
She's an inferior version of Light Jaesa. Except Jaesa doesn't just whine about being light side, she actually makes a goal. Finding other light sided sith. She is also privy to the hypocrisy of the Jedi, unlike Ashara who falls prey to it.
Then Jaesa has moments where she fakes being insanely evil, which is comedic, and during her reunion she says "I'm not a Jedi" basically sayign she knows and prefers her spot in-between if you will. Her reunion is handled much, much better than Ashara's as a whole. Light or Dark.
Ashara should've been a Sith Lord or a Darth, that you encounter as one of your later companions, that ends up following your cause and becomes your apprentice when you become a Darth. But, the Imperial writers had some sort of fascination with making most of the Imperial romance options, light side leaning.
Either way, glad they're picking Lana for this character over Ashara, I was legit not going to watch the playthrough, had that been the case.

[@anders1054]

@@rainofkhandaq6678 Well, there were 14 different writers soooooo. Personally, I would have loved to romance Zash(after she gets out of Khem of course).

[@rainofkhandaq6678]

@@anders1054 Oh yeah forgot you mentioned Zash.
I agree, that would've been even better. Would've made the story that much more unique. Especially considering she has build up from the beginning of the game.
At the very least she could have a role, and become a romance option in KoTFE/ET.
Actually they still could've done that even if the class story stayed the same.

[@Thebrainwashedturtle]

Man the only way to tolerate ashara was romance...non romanced ashara is intolerable thats why ppl suprised when hokie gamer didnt romanced her...but the admin gaved zirac much more proper and better romance...Lana Beniko. Head of Sphere of Sith İntelligence And Advisor of outlander who filled the power grab caused within eternal empire...i would say zirac didnt deserved ashara even lana is hardly deserving him cause he should be an emperor instead of council member

[@tonywhite9873]

You can't even kill her and when she finally find her again she never looked for you and went to find herself and now thinks she is your equal.

[@thedanishnut]

as much as i like ashara her characterization feels kind of half-baked. like we see her beliefs, her mission, what she seeks to gain from all this, but each interaction feels so... manufactured. she hardly talks about anything else, even if you romance her. she's one of those companions that doesn't get as much attention as the others i feel.
