intelligence career
Despite being too young to be conscripted, he joined the Munkcestrian Assassins Stopping Socialism on Duty (M.A.S.S.O.D) at the age of 15. Due to the secretive nature of the work details are unknown though it is believed he worked there for one year and two weeks before it a nuclear accident destroyed the Munkcestrian Republic.

During his reign as Sultan, Ed Ashleigh made a number of sweeping changes to Sharifistan: he stated he would abolish the upper house of the Majilis-Ash Shura, executed a child abuser by impalement (a method never used since Sharifistan was established) and without trial and introduced the punishment of life with hard labour. He also commuted the sentence of a killer to time served (meaning he only served 5 days in prison). He was also influential in Sharifistani military victories, strategy and military morale and introduced new courts, procedures etcetera that improved military effectiveness. He fought George Fenwick II in a duel and killed him. He is highly popular amongst all classes due to his excellent leadership, morale and strategy contribution to the war effort, his establishment of the Anti-Narcotics Police Command and his child protection policies. He is popular amongst the Sharifistani ulama for his introduction of the Book of Justice (Sharifistan) as well as the Islamic Religious Police.
