Ash Biography

Many Titanfall 2 gamers are familiar with Ash. Ashleigh Reid, formerly known as Dr Ashleigh Reid, was an expert pilot and mercenary before being transformed into a Simulacrum (a robot with a replicated human brain pattern) after a disastrous mission. They were also one of the villains you had to battle, since they were members of the Apex Predators, a mercenary force comprised of Titans hired by the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation, or IMC, to exterminate the human frontier militia.
Kuben Blisk, who currently manages the Apex Games, led this group. Our first sight of Ash’s backstory comes from fellow legend Horizon’s own animated cinematic, which comes before Titanfall 2. Prior to being transformed into Simulacrum, Ash collaborated with Horizon’s Dr Sommers on a quest to recover Apex’s mysterious chemical, Branthium.
Horizon is then betrayed by Ash, who allows her to be pulled into a black hole before invading the facility to take the Branthium. However, this expedition goes tragically wrong, and Dr Reid is killed. In an effort to rescue her, her mind is transferred into Simulacrum, leaving only as Ash and Dr Reid.
Her memories were encrypted with a code, but Ash’s account from the outlands reveals that Dr Ashleigh Reid is still alive inside Ash.
Jack Cooper beat Ash during Titanfall 2. They were then reassembled and utilized by Vision Dynamics. Ash’s corpse was then dumped. Blisk even tosses Ash’s head into a fissure, severing it into nine pieces. During Season 5’s Broken Ghost mission, Hammond Robotics assigns Loba the duty of reassembling Ash.
Hammond Robotics uses Ash for codes and then discards her, where Pathfinder later discovers her and remembers just her name. Blisk then pays Ash a visit and offers her a position in the Apex Games. From here, Ash controls the Apex Arenas, an underground deathmatch, but they now attend the Apex Games as participants, seeking to recall her past.
