Ash Thornheart

**Ash Thornheart** is the oldest of the Thornheart siblings, being the leader of the four. He's proven to be the perfect choice to lead the age of the Necron Dragon and make his late father proud--however, Ash does not seem to have any love for Nathaniel as a person. Ash is one of the main antagonists of *Alpha Rangers*, *The Chronicles of Andrew Rodgers*, and *Gamma Warriors*.

## Gamma Warriors Season 1

We first see Ash in *Gamma Warriors*, where he and Dante discuss their plans.

Ash meets with Romulus and Wendrake, who had just gotten back from Blue Ridge Town to find recruits. There, he speaks with Dariel Phelps, not knowing that Axca and Nero are eavesdropping on him. He observes the testing of Project Swamp Nightmare on an old man, and threatens Phelps before leaving. After that, he and Thaddeus meet with Krovaxion for the first time, and Ash sends Spinel to attack the Gamma Warriors while he goes to the Gravengeo Swamp.

In the next chapter, Ash muses in front of the cage containing the Malevosaurus, and later on, he and Thaddeus discuss how his late father was arrogant and thought only of increasing his own power, while Ash wants everyone to bow before the Clan as a whole and forget about Nathaniel. He commends Hunter for putting up a fight against Spinel, along with thanking Hunter for killing Nathaniel. Ash reveals how the Necron Dragon Clan has existed for a much longer time than Hunter knew, along with how Nathaniel had a teacher and that the Necron Dragon is more of a title, while Spinel reveals that she was tortured into madness by the Thornheart family, including damaging her gem. However, Ash admits later on that Spinel was expendable, and orders Thaddeus to help look for a fossil sample for Project Swamp Nightmare.

Phelps confronts Ash about Project Swamp Nightmare being started up again, but Ash shifts into his dragon form, making his threat very clear. Before he can execute Phelps, Mesogog reports that they got some fossil samples for the project, along with how the lizardfolk of Gravengeo have captured Perfuma, princess of Plumeria, for her runestone. There, it's revealed that Galexialyn managed to give him All for One.

Ash visits a lab where Trixter Leximore is working, and he hands Cade Briggs, Sylvia's uncle, to Trixter to be used as a test subject. Afterwards, he visits the imprisoned Perfuma, and after the first of the dinosaur mutants makes its appearance, the Debtors show themselves, with Jafar hypnotizing Perfuma with his snake staff. He also recruits members of the Black Rose Assembly, as well as Pennywise.

Once Perfuma is fully hypnotized, Ash gives everyone their orders, targeting both Autumnshade City and Toontown while having Black Manta kill Phelps, and orders Perfuma to initiate Project Swamp Nightmare. The Swamp Nightmare wreaks havoc on Autumnshade, infecting and killing people, which is when Jason Scott and Krolia arrive on the scene to confront Ash. Unfortunately, Ash has reinforcements--Judge Doom's weasels, the Tyrannodrones, and Khaostroopers. Meanwhile, the Malevosaurus is getting closer and closer to Autumnshade. Hunter and the others reach Autumnshade in time, cure Perfuma, and she stops the Malevosaurus, letting Luxagnis seal it away.

Thaddeus becomes a mutant, but Ash escapes the scene, while the other Thornhearts return from Blue Ridge Town.

It's around here that Ash stole Jesse Anderson's Rainbow Dragon card for his Malefic deck.
