Editing Hammer Lord Shoyan Ashpool (section)

=Hammer Lord Shoyan Ashpool=

Shoyan is Vaylen. He came to this planet as a young man many years ago, married into the aristocracy and has lived here ever since. He's now a grand old man of the Gentry, especially since it is widely known that he was a successful Hammer commander years ago. 

Shoyan has had two wives and numerous children. He is estranged from most of his family, though he often supports members through hard times. His residence is an isolated living dome floating near (but not connected to) one of the major cities of the planet.

Shoyan is ready now to start the full takeover of this world for his clan. 

'''N.B.'''  Hammer Lord Shoyan Ashpool is a player character in [[Bantustan]], a pbp Burning Empires campaign.
