Had an "Ah-Ha!" while reading through the In'Irdicti series which applies here. However, since I don't know who has read what at this point, I hide my thoughts.

Kyler, I do agree with you. It may not be the only reason though. Winkler helped Ashe out in a father/mentor role when Ashe really needed it. Lissa though ends up helping Ashe a lot (in and after this book) so Ashe could keep hidden and Lissa was the front man (really front woman) of the actions.

Ashe's motivations for putting Lissa back together instead of letting her be reborn... interesting question.

I don't think it was just one motivation, but several. Only Connie would know what the main one was.
to add to the why's:

I would think maybe it had more to do with Griffin's trying to manipulate outcomes screwing up the natural progression of things. Had Griffin not interfered with things Lissa would have be Saa Thalaar and maybe everything would have went down a little different. Though she was the solution to his problem, and he did see her death in that battle.

Ashe also needed the Dark Realms brought in to check rather quickly and I don't think he wanted to wait for her to be reborn and get the experience she already had.

as JeanneM said, Ashe also needed to stay hidden and Lissa could do so much Good with his guidance.

or he did it just because he could ;)

Got it on my mind to change my ways, but I don't think I can be anything other than me.

Yeah, I kept pondering after the fact and it occurred to me another perfectly valid reason is that it would probably be a trick to get ANOTHER person who is 1/4 Bright Elemaiya and 1/4 Karathian Witch. Yes, she gets lots of kewl powers later when she makes the ranks of the Nameless Ones and then even higher. I think The Gods see the Dark Worlds need a Vampire Queen who is more than "just" a vampire, as Lissa was in her previous incarnation. (Claws, good fighter, no misting and such.)

At first I had a problem with Kylar's suggestion that Ashe held Lissa together for Winkler, given that Winkler was dead at the time. But with further thought I like it. Given Ashe is Ashe a little thing like Winkler being dead isn't insurmountable, perhaps future Ashe left his earlier self a note. I wonder if maybe Ashe didn't do it a little for himself as well, given that all his other blood relatives fall into the not very nice category and his parents were estranged around this time.
