SHAUN ESCAYG: Asav is unique as
an antagonist,
for me at least, in the
Uncharted series.
KURT MARGENAU: What we always
try to think of is how is this
character going to react with
other characters that we have.
SHAUN ESCAYG: He respects
Nadine, for example,
and he's disgusted by Chloe.
She represents what he fights
the most.
ASAV: A thief?
You're working for a thief?
SHAUN ESCAYG: Asav is rife with
contradiction.
KURT MARGENAU: He has this kind
of educated calmness about him,
but then can be very violent
very quickly.
ASAV: Throw their bodies in the
river.
CHLOE: No need.
We'll throw ourselves out.
JOSH SCHERR: Asav is an Indian
national.
He is very much enmeshed in the
culture of his country.
And he is somebody who is a big
believer
in the ways of the ancient
Hoysala kings.
SHAUN ESCAYG: He believes his
cause is noble,
but like most freedom fighters
get corrupted by, you know,
the actual fight itself.
TATE MOSESIAN: And to fund the
army,
he's actually selling artifacts;
he's finding and selling
artifacts.
And that's where Chloe and
Nadine run into Asav.
SHAUN ESCAYG: Nadine has a
deeper understanding of Asav
and what he's capable of.
And I would say
Chloe is just treating him as
the average warmonger.
ASAV: In times of war, these
aqueducts,
they would run red through the
capital.
Those who would not fight
had to be used to inspire those
who would.
