Ashwatthama was the son of guru Dronacharya. Dronacharya did many years dhyan and penance of Bhagwan Shiv Shankar in order to obtain a son who possesses the same valiance as of Lord Shiva. Aswatthama is the avatar of one of the eight Rudras and he is one of the seven Chiranjivi’s or the immortal ones. Aswatthama is the lone survivor still living, who actually fought in the kurukshetra war.

Dear Ms. Rekha,
Welcome to the G.D!
If I may point out the correction in your post..
There are Eleven Rudras and not eight!
Ekadasa Rudras the eleven forms of Rudra or Lord Shiva
You are right about his being one of the seven chiranjeevis.
The seven chiranjeevis are
List of Chiranjeevs (Those who do not die) from Indian Mythologies
But his immortality is a punishment given to him
rather than a blessing given to him.
