Asa Nakamura

Asa Nakamura was a member of the group of heroes who traveled to the Outer Planes in order to find the mindflayers in Opera for the Fairest. 
Asa was previously a member of the Majority military. She was forced into retirement when she married her husband, eventually having children. Later, her husband and children were slaughtered by the revenant of Matsukaze. Due to the mysterious nature of their deaths, Asa was later contacted by the Peacekeepers and offered a job as a Black Warden. 
As a Black Warden, Asa adopted a vow of silence and gave in to her more violent nature, killing all enemies that stood in her way with a vengeance. Her violent nature disturbed the other heroes in the Outer Planes, and they soon delved into her psyche -- literally -- to address her psychological trauma. The party learned that a powerful entity aligned with Gabuuti, the "Sha Beast," was living inside of Asa's mind. 
Asa eventually faced off against the Sha Beast, traveling back to the creation of Abaddon in order to kill the enormous monster by shooting it with a light cannon. The dead Beast's eye became the moon that constantly hangs in Abaddon's sky. Asa absorbed the Sha Beast's essence, becoming the new Sha Beast -- in other words, the Icon of Gabuuti. 
The Sha Beast is effectively the leader of Gabuuti's forces, such as they are. The god often contacts her to perform various tasks throughout the planes. She operates out of a space station located at roughly the midpoint between Musea and Prolixity. This space station is known as "The Sha Base," and it is also the residence of the Sha Beast's chosen allies: including her former party member Camilla, Camilla's partner Ka're'rin, the Warden Carmen Atziyaotl, and others.
