About 6'2"
Age
Since these people are basically undead they can live forever as long as they aren't struck down by a foe.
Alignment
These beings barely feel emotion. Their whole point of existence it to kill the unkillable. They don't stress themselves with others problems and will leave nothing behind if those problems interject with their goals. Laws don't apply to these people because if someone was to attempt in trying to stop them, they would end up being nothing but blood on the end of a blade. While some try to care and help others they go away and never return. No one knows what happens to them but some speculate it is the god putting back in their place.
Speed
Ashen Ones have a 30ft walking speed and climb at 20ft. They don' see much need in digging and swimming because if they see 2 ways in and one is swimming stealthily into a sewer underneath the stronghold, or cutting down guards on the way to the front door, they are going to cut down anyone in their path.
Religion
While some might pray to the sun god or fight in the blades of the darkmoon under Gwyn's army, others might fight other Ashen Ones under Rosaria's Finger or as mad spirits under the Mound Makers covenant. Or it could be nothing, some don't pledge to any gods and fight as if themselves are the only gods.
