Ash is described as looking like a very lazy cat. He has ash-blond colored hair and eyes that change color depending on his mood. This is a trait he inherited from his ancestor Maya, the first lamia vampire. Ash is a reoccurring character and he makes an appearance in several Night World books including: Secret Vampire, Daughters of Darkness, Dark Angel, and Soulmate. He will also appear in the upcoming novel and conclusion to the series Strange Fate.
