The Slayer abandoned his own eyes in order to awaken the waves. Commissioned by the Shonan craftsmen, they were able to compensate these blind warriors by crafting the Plate Armor. By doing so, the blinded warrior's efficiently would be useless, as well as losing one of their five senses. The good side to this however, is that their armor helps detect the flow of enemies surrounding him, easily able to identify the enemy. G.S.D. where he rests in the Hendon Myre Alley, is able to transfer this great flow of energy to emit powerful waves. The only thing to sew the Asura on the battlefield is showing the path to go forward.
They will leave no regrets to lose their sight from their selected route, which shall show them a determined will down the road.
The Asura is a Slayer who strikes a chilling bargain with the demon 
Kazan and sacrifices his eyes to attain great power. Though blind, the Asura can master magical attacks and defensive techniques, and sharpen skills that utilize waves and long-range weapons. A few of his most iconic skills are 
Ghost Orb, 
Spirit Crescent, and 
Agni Pentacle.
- At level 50, the Asura awakens as the Silent Eye. At level 75, the Silent Eye awakens as an Indra.
- His subclass cosmetic effect is a blindfold over his eyes, identical to that worn by G.S.D.
- His 2nd Awakening cosmetic effect is electricity surging from his torso, with glowing blue ancient writing on his left arm.
- His Neo Awakening cosmetic effect has him enter into a stance and forms a sword of arcing blue lightning in his left arm.

Awakening as a Silent Eye
Let me read to you from the Book of Dark Visions, Chapter of Shadows. Within these lines you will know the epic of the Silent Eye.
“The earth quivers, yet my heart is filled with peace. Though my eyes have been cast into eternal darkness, I sense all things, seeing beyond the deception that the eyes can bring. Countless years of training in darkness has paved the way for a true kinship with the world of shadows.
I stand fast on the trembling earth, beneath the thick black skies. I reach stretch my senses out into my surroundings, and I feel the fear of those who surround me, their swords unsheathed and directed upon me. Beyond them I can sense my lost eyes. My eyes, embroidered into the dark boundless skies, have been there since the beginning. Yes, my precious Wave Eyes...keeping guardian watch over me. Their constant gaze will help me realize the power of waves.”

Trivia
Subclass Inspiration
- The Asura's theme and motif is heavily influenced by both Hinduism & Buddhism.
- His loss of sight for power is based around the Third eye, which symbolizes a state of enlightenment.
- The Wheel of Dharma that's seen on both the Indra & Neo: Asura's artwork, including some of his skill effects in-game, is a widespread symbol used in Indian religion.
- In the Indra's artwork, he is wielding a Vajra, which is a ritual club weapon symbolizing the properties of a diamond & thunderbolt.
Titles
- An Asura are often depicted as a race of power-seeking demigods related to the more benevolent Devas.
- His Korean First Awakening title Mahākāla, is one of Shiva's fierce manifestations and a God of Destruction.
- Because the former Nexon-DFO version often avoided using deity-related names for Awakenings, he was given Dark Knight, until it was swapped over to a supplementary class upon arriving at the Global client.
- He would be given Silent Eye for his new Global First Awakening as a homage to the fictional blind Swordsman, Zatoichi.
- Daikokuten over in Japan while originating from the wrathful deity Mahākāla, is seen as a more jovial, beneficent God that represents wealth and fortune.
