[UA] Used Clothing

This afternoon I had some time to kill and I wandered into a large 
Salvation Army-style store of used clothes and household goods called 
Value Village.

It's a large store, three stories tall, in Seattle's Capitol Hill 
district. I browsed through the menswear section and found a rack of 
bathrobes. It so happened that I've been wanting a good terrycloth 
bathrobe for a couple of years, but hadn't been able to afford one. (Oh, 
the poverty of game design.) Lo and behold, they had several for sale at 
about $6. Yay!

I found one that was just what I wanted. The detail that really put it 
over the top, however, was a simple one: on the left chest was 
embroidered the name SASHA.

So now I've got Sasha's bathrobe.

Any suggestions as to:

1) Who was Sasha?

2) Why was his bathrobe--in excellent condition--for sale in a 
used-clothing store?

3) What happens to the person who wears it?
