Personality: Ashswagg is known to be power-hungry, controlling, egotistical, manipulative, and evil, seeking to bring down civilizations with the end goal of taking over the server with his Mafia. He thrives on entertainment and mostly uses this as a point of contingent to mock other's attempts to take him down. He tends to feign importance and uses more 'abstract' ideas, using indirect and flowery language, biblical motifs/metaphors, and basing a lot of his actions around philosophical ideas and metaphors. Ash very commonly uses and shows manipulation tactics: going into detail on using fear as a method of control in I Survived Minecraft's Most Corrupt City and pretending to be poor and helpless around Spoke to earn his trust and gain access to an important book, until ultimately betraying Spoke's mission and threatening to kill Mapicc.

Despite this, he has a more unserious side; as shown in his interactions with Squiddo, his dramatic lamenting and speeches while talking to lesser ranked Mafia members, and mocking his opponents sometimes with humor while they're serious. His interactions with Fish Bucket and his friends also show that he's rather lonely and insecure.

He also seen to somewhat fear remorse and actively shields himself from this and other's emotions. This is also shown throughout his interactions with Squiddo. He is shown to believe that every action a player does is for power and appears to be aware that he went too far in his goal for it. He also claims to see many of his own qualities in Spoke and believes Spoke will someday make a mafia bigger and worse than his.

Squiddo (Ashswagg’s girlfriend) Appearence: bright shoulder length brown hair; light skinned; pink and yellow sunglasses; an orange hoodie; green backpack; blue jeans; red shoes Personality: Squiddo is an unserious, generous, and funny character. (She sometimes dressed up as a clown just for the fun of it) She is unwilling to kill players, as shown when she remained a copper trim in the Invisible Mafia despite being one of the people closest to Ashswagg. She is incredibly loyal to certain people and states that she misses Spoke, Mapicc, and the rest of her friends even long after she left to join Ash. She is sentimental, keeping a version of the "Garlic Hamster" (which was actually a llama) pet at every single one of her bases. She also is shown to be very silly, as shown with her antics at Point Nemo. She brings out a less serious side of Ash, despite his stoic front. She is one of the only people in the series that he opens up to and trusts. She is also British

The Invisible Mafia (owned by Ashswagg)

The Invisible Mafia was the main antagonist faction in Unstable Universe's Season 1, being a large and powerful authoritarian group led and owned by Ashswagg. They were first founded somewhere during the start of the server, led by an unknown previous leader before ashswagg took over. The Mafia was notable for being the first server-wide ruling faction, the richest, and the largest armed forces of Unstable.

The Mafia's reign was based on indoctrinating their members, ruling through fear, and punishing their members who weren't invisible. One of their practices to ensure every members' subordination was through their own stasises, which would teleport them to the void once punished. However, the stasises would be used against the Mafia during the war, effectively dissolving the faction. The Mafia brought long-lasting effects to the server even after its collapse, shaping the server's history through trauma.

Leadership The Mafia Leader, Ashswagg, commanded all the players in the faction. He initiated hits and dictated where members would go. He was visible, talks, and didn't wear armor. It was said that if he did die, the stasis chamber of everyone in the mafia would activate, killing them in the void. According to MinuteTech, the Mafia used to have a different leader who was less cruel.

Hierarchy The Mafia’s hierarchy was based around the color of armor trims. The highest ranking members had Diamond trims, and were tasked with the most important jobs. The better the material that the trim is made of, the higher ranking the member was, with no trim being the lowest tier. However, there are exceptions, like the Redstone and Netherite trim. ((Redstone is FerreMC, Ash's right hand man, and Netherite is ClownPierce, Ash's collaborator). For Marlowww, the guard of the Mafia Tomb, we don't know if her Quartz trim was chosen by Ash or she retrimmed herself.

The majority of the Mafia were new players who don’t know much about the server. It was later revealed that after killing a player, unranked players were given the choice to either "leave" the Mafia or to rank up to Copper. If a player chose to leave, their stasis would be pulled and they would be killed in the void.

When a player killed another player, their name appeared in the chat, revealing their identity. It was one of the only times when their identity was allowed to be shared. When a mafia member killed another player, they could rank up, and become anonymous again, unless they were a diamond trim mafia player.

Rankings and Armor Trims Each member of the mafia wore a netherite chestplate. Depending on the rank of the soldier, the chestplate was trimmed with the eye-armor trim, where the material of the trim decides the rank of the player.

For an Iron player, a Copper player, or an untrimmed player to rank up, they needed to successfully complete 3 tasks/missions which were given by Gold trimmed mafia members.

For a Gold trim to rank up to a Diamond trim and get the mace, they needed to schedule a duel and beat a Diamond trim in a 1v1 to the death, overseen by Ashswag. If the gold trim succeeded in killing the diamond, both their usernames would show in chat, and the gold player’s ender pearl in the stasis would be moved into the separate and unique stasis chamber away from the other players, replacing the dead former diamond trim. This means that the amount of diamond trims would never increase, and that the gold trim needed to actually be a part of the mafia.

All diamond trimmed mafia members had a mace, except for FlameFrags, who disliked maces.

Diamond trim players were usually the players who lead attacks to destroy civilizations on the server, and were often accompanied by gold trim players.

Special trims like netherite and redstone trims were chosen by Ash, as the only netherite trim we've seen has been ClownPierce, and the only Redstone trim has been FerreMC. We don't know if Marlowww's quartz trim has been her own choice or Ash's choice, as Flame was shown to retrim to redstone.

The copper player are the second lowest ranking members in the mafia (the others being trimless, Iron, Gold and Diamond) they don't have a lot of resources to help them in battle. They each have full netherite gear with a copper eye trim on their chestplates though. The players R4trick and Finiahn left District 13 to go into the Mafia as copper players. To become a copper player, you have to kill a player who is not in the Mafia. The Mafia was created by Ashwagg and if a player doesn't do what Ashwagg tells them to do, they get killed.

The Iron Mafia Players are the third lowest tier of The Mafia besides Copper and trimless(The two above being Gold and Diamond). To become a Iron Mafia Player, you must complete missions that you got from the "Higher Ups". Each Iron Mafia Player had full netherite armor with a Iron eye trim on their chestplates. Each member of The Iron Players got some windcharges and colored firework rockets so people can tell their part of the Mafia.

On the Unstable SMP, Diamond Ranked Mafia Members are the highest rank in the Invisible Mafia, all of them, excluding FlameFrags, had a Mace. To become a Diamond Ranked Mafia Members, you have to kill another Diamond Rank, implemented so Ashswagg wouldn’t have to try and get new Maces.

Practices Each active member was made to throw a ender pearl into a tunnel of bubble columns leading to a heavily guarded large stasis chamber by trusted diamond players only. Their stasis was set in a stasis chamber, and if the stasis chamber was mined under so that once the stasis was pulled (activated), the player fell into the void, died, and got banned off of the server. This meant that if a mafia member was seen visible by other mafia members or by allies of the mafia and reported, they would teleport into the void and be killed. For this reason, mafia members did not carry any totems of undying, because if it popped, their invisibility would be removed and they would get killed anyways. This method of control was how the Mafia took over the server. It was later revealed that Ashswagg still had the enderpearl's of all former members in The Mafia Tomb. If any resources were taken from The Tomb, all former members of The Invisible Mafia would be killed meaning that The Mafia still technically exists. Fireworks were used to signal the Mafia to or from an area/player. White fireworks called the Mafia away, black fireworks signaled the Mafia to an area to kill a player, and red fireworks signaled the start of a mission. If Ashswagg died all members of the Invisible Mafia would be teleported to their stasis chambers and would be killed in the void with him. This prevented any attempts to end the mafia by killing Ashswagg
