'''Asurmen''' is said to have been the first [[Eldar]] [[Phoenix Lord]]. He was the founder of the [[Path of the Warrior]] and he created the first shrine of [[Asur]], the [[Dire Avenger]] shrine, which was to grow into the most wide-spread of the [[Aspect]]s. Asurmen's name means ''"The Hand of [[Asuryan]]"'' and it was he who led the Eldar race away from their doomed homeworlds at the time of the [[Fall of the Eldar]].

Born '''Iliathin''', the Eldar who would become Asurmen was born on the world of [[Eidafaeron]] and lived an uneventful and boring 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 was possessed by a Daemon, Iliathin was forced to kill him. Afterwards, he managed 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}}
