As images have surfaced from Kaladesh, a couple friends pointed out "Hey, no one knows the true plane Ashiok is from, is he an aetherborn from Kaladesh?"
At first I rejected, but paying more atention at his clothes and the Kaladesh's arts published today they look like quite a lot, the "black wind" thing-y, the clothes, skin tone, what do you guys think?

Someone in a different thread stated that Ashiok's clothing was apparently a mockery of Therosian clothing, but I haven't been able to find verification.
Personally, I think Ashiok is a bit too smooth to be an Aetherborn. Most of them look like shattered marble, but Ashiok looks like an Albino Vedalken. If Ashiok is and Aetherborn, Ashiok was an especially "pure" version.
I'm inclined to believe Ashiok is from somewhere else.
Giving what Gonti does and what Ashiok's card does. I do believe that Ashiok is Aetherborn.
I would be willing to bet that the bad thing coming to the Inventor's Fair is Ashiok. And the Aether Revolt will be the Aetherborn led by Ashiok attacking the government of Kaladesh.

While an interesting theory, we already have seen the promo image of Chandra leading the "aether revolt." (but maybe it can fit your theory and perhaps she's leading the consul's defense? Super unlikely there though)
Seems like a strong guess. At four, that would move Kaladesh into second for the number of native walkers from a plane (with cards).
(5) Nicol Bolas, Liliana, Karn, Venser, Teferi from Dominaria
(4) Chandra, Saheeli, Dovin, Ashiok? from Kaladesh
(3) Ugin, Sarkhan, and Narset from Tarkir
Domri, Vraska, and Ral from Ravnica
Arlinn, Sorin, and Tibalt from Innistrad
Nissa, Kiora, Nahiri from Zendikar
Or maybe the fact that he can planeswalk, walking through the blind eternities, which is filled with raw aether. How I imagine it Aetherborn fade away and crumble due to their aether leaving, but for him, planeswalking replenishes his supply.

I'm not saying Ashiok is out, but the stories are hinting at a re-emergence of Vraska. That's where I'd place my bet right now.
Unless creative (again) retcon Ashoik, they is fading away from the use of their magic, while this seems like a natural process for aetherborn as part of their life cycle.

Bolas is not from Dominaria. His home plane is unknown.

Yeah, I didn't want to nitpick but Ugin should be the same. I don't think he's actually from Tarkir being a pseudo elder dragon and all.

I would say it is possible. But we do not have enough art to verify it.
However, the air captain we have seen who is ætherswordn does exile cards and lets you play them. Ashiok does the same. Seems very much like æther creatures wants to exile cards and play them.

Maro's official answer is "Maybe :)"

Which unfortunately, is not an indicator one way or another. He also said "Maybe :)" to E meaning Enchantment Artifacts

I think Liliana probably convinces her to join Ashiok's revolt. That or maybe she sees the Consul as a lesser evil and sides against Ashiok.
Or his ascendancy to planeswalkerhood allowed him to find a way to extend his lifeforce by inducing nightmares in others.

The fact that Planeswalkers literally move through the Aether it should preserve something made from it... Hypothetically.

Ashiok's official gender is currently unknown.

The fingers match, too.
He says 'maybe' to almost everything. And if someone words a question with the phrase "Is there a possibility.." he simply answers 'yes'.
Everyone on tumblr is non-binary.
But, seriously it looks to close to not be really
He always includes the emoji.
Its his official nonanswer.
