I was under the impression there are only 12?11?13? Ascians. They're ageless, malevolent beings. They're nigh-unkillable unless you have the balls to state you're Minfillia's BFF and the MSQ main character. They're also completely undetectable to anyone without the Echo (and sometimes even if you see them, you can't understand them anyway!)
I don't trust Strawman Joe Roleplayer to be able to do them justice. Better to just avoid it. You'd have to be ultra mega special to even warrant their attention - They're currently a bit busy plotting against the Actual Main Character of FFXIV so it would take an incredible amount of ego to even suggest anyone would be on their level.
IIRC there was multiple Ascians assaulting the player in the 2.1 quest line when you were pursuing the White-Robed ascian.
There is also the pair in Haukke Manor that do not seem to be the same pair that assaults you, nor the one you defeat at the level 15 quest, or even the ones in the Primals Plotline.
So while there may be a limited seat of the highest ranking, it seems there is a hierarchy with the lower echelons being more populated.
