Ascender is a Mountaineer and former moderator at the Basecamp 33 Forum.

Personality

Ascender is a leaderly, mature individual. As one of the only remaining '94 Mountaineers, he was the de-facto leader of the new millennium Mountaineers. Although he is loyal and caring to his friends, Ascender is willing to make big sacrifices if it means doing the right thing. A Weatherwatch to the core, he has spent most of his life traveling, and hasn't staying in one place for long since the '94 Mountaineers were almost entirely wiped out.

Biography

Ascender was one of the original Mountaineers, joining an online message board in the '90s. During his time in the Mountaineers he encountered Orvin Wallace and Sullivan Green[1], who Orvin referred to as "fans of books that Ackerly Green had published." During this time, the original Mountaineers had acquired the Book of Briars and had been unlocking fragments. At the twelfth fragment, something came for the Mountaineers, decimating all but Ascender and Augernon, who survived but was left a shell of his former self[2].

In the years after the original Mountaineers were destroyed, Ascender wandered from place to place to avoid the same fate as his friends. During the years leading up to the rediscovery of the Book of Briars, Ascender found and recruited the "core" mountaineers - Itsuki, Bash, Endri, and Eaves[3].

After finding the Book of Briars website and recreating Ackerly Green's Guide to Magiq, Ascender made the decision to post the Guide online and seek help from new recruits by creating the Basecamp 33 Forum. Ascender created the first post 'Basecamp's Beginning: The First Post" - which introduces the Book of Briars, the Mandela Effect, and the Mountaineer's reasons for seeking the Lost Collection.

Shortly after kickstarting the Basecamp, Ascender tracked down the heir of Ackerly Green Publishing - Deirdre Green[4]. Poring through her blog posts, he noticed the post about Sullivan Green's remains and approached her on Instagram about taking photos of the book she was left[5]. The page Deirdre posted started Fragment One.

After Fragment One, Mountaineers were unable to get in contact with Ascender. He disappeared, seeking a way into the United States without going through border control or having legal documents. He made his way to Maryland where he spoke with his friend Augernon. Although Augernon was left a husk from the storm that destroyed the '94 Mountaineers, he became himself in his sleep. Sleep-talking to Ascender, Augernon was able to communicate the fact that him and the core Mountaineers were not meant to solve the Book of Briars, but to pass it down to the new generation as guild-masters. Ascender took this to heart and posted "You are Mountaineers" on the Basecamp site.

After this, Ascender left the Mountaineers, saying he "followed the butterflies and found a new path. A path I can't climb with you.[6]" Abandoning the Basecamp, Ascender left with one final message:

There are wheels turning in the shadows, Eaves. Augernon showed me. A machine churns in the dark places of the world. Growing in size and power. An old machine that wants to separate us. Crush us.

We are at war. A war I've been too blind to see until now. You have work to do, I have a war to fight.

We have different paths to climb but we'll meet at the end, where those paths meet.

Where all our paths meet.
