A visit to Europa[edit]

"Completely suicidal! The Vex infect whatever they touch. Their self-replication subroutines would consume the Taken from the inside out. Perhaps they simply don't realize the dangers."
— Asher

The Northen Architect[edit]

"Your Hidden know NOTHING about this illness! The Queen's witches, if they still live, know NOTHING about this illness. No one can stop it! I am beginning to believe there is no sense in even trying!"

The Asteroid Belt[edit]

"If something steps out of that ship and descends down the pulsing electric corridors of the Pyramidion, through the infinite swirling Cantor dust of its interior... they will find me in its heart. On the shores of my radiolarian lake. And I will be ready for them."

Ikora Rey: "Asher can't figure out where you are. If he drops out, it's because he's thrown a tantrum and broken his microphone."
Asher Mir: "I heard that, you wretch!"
Ikora Rey: "Mmm. He feels safe saying such things because he is on Io and I am not."
— Ikora and Asher.

Quotes[edit]

  • "If only I had more time…"
  • "…Ever-spiraling complexity… Yes, their simulations are potentially limitless!"
  • "I have not been reborn since the accident. In truth, I do not know what would happen. Is my Ghost even capable of such a thing anymore?"
  • "Cabal Again!? With their blasted rock shaking concentration shattering Machinery!"
  • "These calculations would astonish even the most hardened of Cryptarchs!"
  • "Every iteration of the Collective nets me more data; I need more information!"
  • "Perhaps if I just… no! I will NOT suffer ambiguity with this work!"
  • "I see your point Sloane. But I fail to see how resistance problems on Titan affect me out here."
  • "What could you possibly want?"

Cayde's Death Quote

  • When I entered the Pyramidion, I was led astray by curiosity and self-interest. I now pay an expeditiously advancing price. Comparable, regrettably, to how Cayde's pride accosted him in the depths of that atrocious prison. As I understand it, retribution has had its claws in you. Bear in mind, assistant, try as you might, there's no circumventing the price.

Inventory[edit]

Asher serves as the vendor and one of the main questgivers for Io. He is situated in The Rupture. Turning in Io tokens, Phaseglass Needles and Phaseglass Spires increases player reputation with Asher Mir and rewards legendary faction gear, shaders and other rewards.

Faction armor[edit]

Faction weapons[edit]

Always for sale[edit]

  • Man O' War - upon completion of the Io World Quest.

Trivia[edit]

  • Asher is voiced by Darryl Kurylo.
  • Eris Morn was the first to refer to Asher as "Gensym Scribe", hinting at his affiliation with the research collective. Several other characters, including Ikora and Zavala, also address him by this title.
  • Asher's Vex condition is similar to Kabr's as both could feel the Vex's presence intruding on their bodies (or mind in Kabr's case). Asher knows that unless he can cure his condition, over time, he will die.
  • Judging from his quotes, Asher appears to be a supporter of the Dead Orbit Faction, as he finds the Solar System at times to be a lost cause.[29]
  • Asher states that he has considered ending his Ghost,[28] and he hasn't been resurrected since the incident, so he doesn't know if his ghost can still revive him.[30] He states he can't feel his arm.[citation needed]
  • There was a small chance that on completion of Flashpoint Io, Asher would drop an Exotic.
