Born '''Iliathin''', the Eldar who would become Asurmen was born on the world of [[Eidafaeron]]and an uneventful and bored life there. Before the [[Fall of the Eldar]], he was skeptical of the prophecies of doom being spread by those who would become the [[Exodite]]s. Iliathin's brother [[Tethesis]] wanted to join the Exodites but his skeptical sibling refuses to take part. Once the Doom of the Eldar came, Ilaithin and his brother both somehow survived the calamity and waged a desperate struggle for survival amid the ruins of their world, now overrun with [[Daemon]]s. When Tethesis is possessed by a Daemon, Iliathin is forced to kill him. Afterwards, he manages to find shelter at an old temple which Daemons do not venture near due to the lingering presence of the [[Eldar God]]s.{{Fn|5}}
Contemplating suicide, Iliathin lives alone in the temple for several years but is saved by an Eldar feral child [[Jain Zar|Faraethil]]. Though initially shunning the girl, later when Faraethil is assaulted by [[Dark Eldar]], Iliathin renames himself '''Asurmen''' after the god [[Asur]] and saves her. Asurmen agrees to take the girl as his disciple and they leave the planet, eventually gathering more like-minded followers.{{Fn|5}}
