Mash

*Ellis Marshal, better known as Mash, is the current head of the MotorStorm Festival. In 2011, he stowed away upon the Carrier sometime before the Apocalypse MotorStorm Festival was held in a certain City in California. He was discovered having eaten nothing but Magic Nut Bars for three days straight. Normally, he would have been kicked off, but Big Dog allowed him to stay. Moreover, Mash wanted to fulfill his father's dream of racing in MotorStorm, and got what he wanted; to participate in the Festival. He survived, crash landing "The Zero" (a battered and undermaintained Mirage 101 that never gives up) onto the deck of the Carrier after the Big One cracked apart the City. When Big Dog kicked the bucket and took the DuskLite site manager with him, Ms. Austin gave Mash his dog tags, a passing of the torch, despite having been a newcomer to the Festival. Under her tutelage, Mash became an effective leader for MotorStorm, having hosted the MotorStorm RC Festival, in addition to subsequent MotorStorm Festivals, especially the current one in Pandrosia.*
*"Alright, let's do this!" - Mash*
**Mash** is a canonical character in the *MotorStorm* series. He was the playable character in the Rookie difficulty in the Festival mode of *MotorStorm: Apocalypse*.

He is the current head of MotorStorm after Big Dog's passing. After successfully holding the MotorStorm RC Festival in locations where previous Festivals were held, he hosted his first MotorStorm as its head in the Mojave Desert in Nevada. Because of the MotorStorm RC Festival's success, he had also mandated that MotorStorm RC tournaments would be held at the Festival, as "something for the whole family."

Prior to the Nevada Festival, he, Ms. Austin, and several other key figures brainstormed various ways to spice things up, and indeed they came up with many brilliant ideas, one of which involving the hiding of money-filled briefcases in the desert for the Festival's participants to hunt down. They had also made sponsorship deals with various companies.
