HistoryEdit

In the late 37th-early 39th century, Aliya Dayspring was a mutant and a novitiate member of the Clan Askani, being mentored by Madame Sanctity in Ebonshire. Roughly in the late 36th century, Apocalypse ascended to power and ruled much of North America unchallenged, for 100 years, where humans and whoever else resistant to his rule could be killed at any moment. The Clan Askani were the only rebellion left to opposed Apocalypse's rule. Years later, following the destruction of the Askani, Aliya began to believe that her mentor was going mad.

Nathan Dayspring

On one day, Madame Sanctity sent Aliya to recruit the Askani'son and she arrived just in time to save Nathan Dayspring from Daegon. After battling Loci, Aliya took Nathan back to Madame Sanctity and he asked to learn the ways of the Askani. Even though Nathan was a man, Sanctity ordered Aliya to instruct him, because he was the Askani'son. After the New Canaanites attacked, Askani'son saved Aliya and he began to loose control of his techno-organics, in-front of her. During the battle, Madame Sanctity was seemingly killed, but had actually joined with Stryfe, leader of the New Canaanites. Aliya, Nathan, and Tetherblood left Tribune Haight alive, but promised to build a rebellion against the New Canaanite tyranny.

Clan Chosen

Nathan, meanwhile, became the foremost military leader of the New Canaanites' opposition, the Clan Chosen, and continued the ways of the Askani. The Askani beliefs taught such tenets as "what is, is", that fate must be embraced, and "thanks for today, please for tomorrow", a belief that the past brings hope, and preached that the "Sacred Timeline" should be preserved and nurtured through careful time travel. Part of the Askani intense discipline and training was mediation performed while levitation upside down. The Askani had a ceremonial language, unique martial arts, and the Psimitar, a weapon that focuses psionic energy. Believers deified the ancient X-Men: "the Xavier" became a father figure, the Bright Lady a mother goddess, and the prophesied "Dayspring" or "Askani'son" their messiah. The Askani took, as their symbols, the Phoenix and the scarred eye, reminiscent of the scars around the Askani'son's right eye. Aliya and her sister, Hope, were part of the forces Nathan led against the New Canaanites. At one time, Stryfe captured a glowing flask from Nathan's camp and Nathan became sick. Aliya was sent to the past to bring back Cable, unknown to her the adult version of Nathan, to aid Nathan. After retrieving the glowing flask, Nathan was revived. Aliya fell in love with Nathan and the two married. Aliya took the clan name of 'Jenskot' as a tribute to Jean and Scott the parents of the Askani'son.

Later, Jenskot was captured, during a Canaanite raid. While she did not speak of her time as a prisoner, it was hinted that Jenskot was tortured and raped by Stryfe. Eventually, Nate was able to rescue her. Jenskot later gave birth to her son, Tyler Dayspring. During a later attack by Stryfe's forces, a bomb was set and Aliya was fatally wounded. Aliya died in Nathan's arms and asked him to take care of her son, unaware that Tyler had been abducted.

While recovering from the Techno-Organic Virus, after the Onslaught crisis, Cable experienced a vision of Aliya at peace with Tyler beside her.^[1]
