Captain Theo Ashford
“Wealth is a major factor of power here, and it's Ashford's area of expertise. Lion's Arch being a merchant town, his influence is spreading rapidly.
Captain Theo Ashford was a member of the Ship's Council and the Ascalonian Ashfords, a family of cut-throats. He was an old family friend of Logan Thackeray's. Ashford was assassinated by Aetherblades during the Dragon Bash effigy lighting ceremony as part of a plot to install Captain Mai Trin onto the Captain's Council, but this plan was foiled by Inspector Ellen Kiel, who would later take Ashford's place on the Council.

Dialogue[edit]
- Before Dragon Bash
- Welcome to the greatest city in the world, me hearty.
Quite a boaster, mister. Can you back it up?
- I'm Captain Theo Ashford...formally of the Ascalon Ashfords. We bring money, prestige, and charisma everywhere we go. And now I'm here!
Keep up the good work, Captain.
- Thanks, uh...matey.
- During Dragon Bash
- You look like someone who enjoys a party. You've come to the right place. It's Dragon Bash time, and I know everything happening in this city.
- Tell me about Dragon Bash.
- We were inspired by the old Dragon Festival, but made it a real party. We've got attractions and distractions, but the effigies take the cake. Well, if you can make a cake out of a massive dragon statue, that is.
- Tell me about the effigies.
- We're building giant dragon statues, all so we can wreck them in a big ceremony. And there'll be effigies around the world for you to bash too. Be on the lookout for them.
- And you are?
- Captain Theo Ashford, of the Ascalonian Ashfords, captain on the Ship's Council. Between you and me, it's about time the dullards on the council threw a party like this.
- Why are you out here?
- You're joking, right? I'm the life of this party. Who better to tell the people about Dragon Bash?
- Take care.
- Good-bye.
- Thanks for the information.
- Thanks for the information.
- Good-bye.
Notes[edit]
- Ashford's second was killed earlier in the year by the Molten Alliance, so Ashford's death triggered the Captain's Council Election.
- Ashford was the name of an Ascalonian town, and the birthplace of Gwen Thackeray.
- He had a husband, Quinn Ashford, and a son, Finnian Ashford.[1][2]
Trivia[edit]
- Captain Ashford was added to the game with the November 15th, 2012 update.
- ^ The Scenic Route
- Marjory Delaqua: You worked for her! And there's plenty of blood on your hands, too. Captain Ashford comes to mind.
- Mai Trin: Who?
- Marjory Delaqua: Captain Theo Ashford! He had a husband and kid! You assassinated him for his seat on the Captain's Council.
- ^ The Cycle, Reborn
- Captain Ellen Kiel: I heard you apprehended Mai Trin. That's good; Theo Ashford's husband deserves some measure of justice.
