Asti the All-Seeing Non-Villain Antagonist
Real Name: Asti (presumably).
Occupation: Servant, spy.
Identity: Asti's existence is unknown to the general populace of Earth; its existence is public knowledge in the Dark Dimension.
Legal Status: Property of Dormammu.
Other Aliases: "the All-Speaking" (an insult given to it by several Dark Dimension denizens).
Place of Birth/Creation: Presumably the Dark Dimension.
Marital Status: Unrevealed, possibly inapplicable.
Known Relatives: None, possibly inapplicable.
Group Affiliation: Servant of Dormammu and Umar.
Base of Operations: The Dark Dimension.
First Post-Reboot Appearance: DOCTOR STRANGE: SORCERER SUPREME #
History: The origin of the magical creature (or maybe contruct) known as Asti is unknown. It is believed that it was created by Dormammu to continuously survey the Dark Dimension to ensure his rule continues unchallenged. (It is entirely possible there are multiple copies of Asti roaming the Dark Dimension, although only one Asti has ever been seen at a time.)
Asti was first seen spying on Doctor Strange during his first trip into the Dark Dimension. It was also seen bringing news of Clea's covert aiding of Strange to Dormammu.
Months later, Asti was spotted outside Dr. Strange's Greenwich Village brownstone keeping tabs on the Doctor and Clea, who had been banished to Earth by Dormammu, but turned invisible as the two left the building.
Age: Indeterminate.
Height: 3' 8".
Weight: Unrevealed.
Eyes: Red.
Hair: None.
Other Distinguishing Features: Asti appears as a disembodied gold-yellow triangular face with a bird-like beak; the inside of the mouth is the same shade of red as the eyes.
Uniform: None.
Strength Level: Asti is a fairly weak entity owing to its small size and lack of manipulators. It can carry in its mouth no more than ten pounds.
Known Superhuman Powers: Asti is able to fly at great speeds, possibly approaching the speed of sound when in the Earth dimension. It is also highly resistant to damage and is apparently immune to metabolic hazards. There is a very good chance Asti is not actually "alive" as is understood by science on Earth, instead being a magical construct.
As implied by its epitaph of "the All-Seeing", Asti possesses a wide range of visual powers. It can see clearly for miles in absolute darkness, including seeing color with no light sources. It is also able to see in infrared, ultraviolet, terahertz radar waves, and X- and gamma rays, can see inside sealed crates, and can make out microscopic figures as small as single-celled organisms.
Asti can also traverse dimensions at will and bend light around it to turn invisible.

Role-Playing Notes:
Asti is a self-important git, constantly proclaiming its importance to all around whenever it is in transit back to Dormammu (or whoever is in charge of the Dark Dimension this year).
