Backstory

Childhood
Ashwin was born to a family in a small village in India, in a tight knit community. His early years were simple, marked by his curiosity and the deep bond he shared with his parents and younger sister.

However, everything changed one fateful night when a terrible calamity struck his village. The county was being divided, the time he was living through would one day be called as, “the partition”. Ashwin was only seven when he saw the hatred of man divide and bring forth destruction.

His part of the village was set on fire, the fire ravaged their home and Ashwin lost his family.

But something unusual happened—while everything around him burned, Ashwin emerged unscathed. As he cradled the lifeless bodies of his loved ones, time seemed to blur, and the world around him began to distort. Without understanding how or why, Ashwin found himself standing in the same spot, but several hours earlier, before the fire.

It was the first time he experienced his power over time.

Shocked and overwhelmed with grief, added to the confusion of his travel through time Ashwin tried again and again to manipulate time to save his family. But no matter what he did, their fate remained unchanged. The fire was inevitable, and in each version of events, they perished.

At seven he had lost everyone he ever knew, but realised that he had gained a curse. The curse of being alive while everyone was gone.

Unable to control his powers as a child, his peers in the orphanage would make fun of him for making up stories of going to the future. Ashwin was weak and unable to defend himself.

His path took an unexpected turn when he was discovered by an affluent British couple, the Winslows, who were traveling through India. Childless and with no heir to inherit their vast fortune, they were enchanted by Ashwin’s intellect and potential. They adopted him and brought him back to England, giving him their name and a life of unimaginable wealth and privilege.

For a while, Ashwin lived in luxury, receiving the finest education and mastering various disciplines, from art and science to combat training. The Winslows raised him as their son, and for a time, Ashwin found peace in his new life. But immortality came with its costs. In time, his adopted parents grew old and passed away, leaving Ashwin alone once more. He inherited their immense fortune, becoming one of the wealthiest individuals in the world, but the wealth and status meant little to him.

The army and xmen
Ashwin tried to live quietly, his restless soul led him to enlist in the military for a time. He fought in wars, using his time manipulation abilities to protect his comrades and turn the tide of battles without them ever knowing the true extent of his power.

Time passed for everyone except for Ashwin, the war was soon over and he returned home to England. His paths crossed with a young Charles Xavier who was pursuing his undergraduate degree at Oxford. He urged Ash to join the mutant movement but Ash declined.

He had seen too much death and loss, and the idea of being part of a team—one where he might form bonds only to watch his friends age and die while he remained—was too painful to bear. He chose to walk his own path, using his powers to help when he could, but always from a distance, never getting too close to others. His experiences with the X-Men, however, opened his eyes to the larger struggles of the world and his place in it.

An indian prince
Seeking meaning, Ashwin returned to India to reconnect with his roots. In a remote town on the brink of collapse due to poverty and neglect, Ashwin used his powers and resources to rebuild it. He manipulated time to ensure crops flourished, diseases were eradicated, and the infrastructure was revitalized.

Despite all his help, the view of the people remained divided. Some called him the devil or satan’s angel. Doors and windows would be slammed in his face when he walked down the street.

But there were also men and women who saw him as a miracle worker and saviour, hailed him as a prince and gifted him a grand palace as a sign of their gratitude.

Present day
In the present day, Ashwin Winslow leads a complex and secretive life, balancing. He splits his time between his grand estate in England and his opulent palace in India, each home representing a different aspect of his identity.

Ashwin has embraced the responsibility of running the Winslow Foundation, a massive philanthropic organization founded by his adopted parents. The foundation is known globally for its humanitarian work, funding everything from education and healthcare initiatives to environmental conservation efforts. The foundation is also a front for supporting Xavier’s school and the needs of the xmen.

As the CEO, Ashwin is a quiet, yet powerful figure—respected for his wisdom, strategy, and leadership. His reputation is that of a man who is incredibly private and reserved

In the public eye, Ashwin Winslow is a brilliant yet reclusive businessman and philanthropist, but in truth, he is something far greater—a guardian of time, carefully weaving the fabric of reality while carrying the burden of immortality.
