'''Ash-G099''', born '''Ashley Gable''',{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} is a [[SPARTAN-III program|Spartan-III]] supersoldier of [[SPARTAN-III Gamma Company|Gamma Company]], and the former leader of [[Team Saber]]. His call sign in the team was '''Saber One'''.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 109''</ref> Following a stint of service as part of [[Blue Team]] between the [[Onyx Conflict]] and [[Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE]], Ash was assigned to an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] [[Ferret|Ferret Team]] led by [[Veta Lopis]] along with fellow Gamma Spartans [[Olivia-G291]] and [[Mark-G313]], serving as the team's surveillance expert.{{Ref/Reuse|ant}}

Ashley Gable was born on the [[human]] [[Outer Colonies|Outer Colony]] of [[Alluvion]] on [[2539#March|March 5, 2539]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Ash was orphaned when the [[Covenant]] [[Glassing|glassed]] [[Battle for Alluvion|his homeworld]] in [[2543]],{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P50|Enc22|Page=50}} and he joined the [[SPARTAN-III program]] at age six in order to avenge his family.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''page 129'' (Google Play edition)</ref> Once on [[Onyx]], he and the other SPARTAN-III candidates were trained by [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Kurt Ambrose]] and [[Senior Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez|Mendez]]. Ash was assigned to lead [[Team Saber]].  

They decided to investigate, and the drones engaged. Ash dispatched scouts to reconnoiter and figure out the weak spots of the drones. He and the rest of the team hurled rocks at the drones and to their surprise, the robots' shields did not activate. Curiously enough, one drone responded to Ash's [[COM]], and talked to him, first using an unknown language, then switching to [[Latin]] and finally to [[English]], calling him "[[Reclaimer]]". However, after Ash failed to provide the proper counterresponse, the machine reclassified him and the other humans on Onyx as an "aboriginal subspecies" and targets to be neutralized. Before the Sentinel could kill Ash, however, the rest of Team Saber ambushed and destroyed the machine, saving him.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 133''</ref>

Before the 717th could evacuate, the newly elected [[President of Gao]] [[Arlo Casille]] sent [[Gao Republic]]'s military to forcefully remove the UNSC from the planet. Ash and Olivia joined Fred at the [[Portable Spartan Support Module]] in order to acquire their armor. However, Intrepid Eye had taken control of the module and attempted to suffocate Lopis inside the [[airlock]], but the Spartans were able to free the inspector and neutralize Intrepid Eye's inspection drone. Determined to prevent the support base from falling into the hands of Gao's insurgent government, Blue Team, Lopis, and Roams Alone embarked to destroy the facility with a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]], while the rest of the 717th evacuated. Pursued by [[MV-29 Wyvern]]s carrying [[Gao battle-jumpers]], the team traveled in Warthogs to the [[Well of Echoes]], below which the Forerunner support base was located, and boarded the [[D102 Owl]] [[UNSC Silent Claw|''Silent Claw'']], with [[Serin Osman|Rear Admiral Serin Osman]] waiting on board. As the Owl escaped the planet, Mark dropped the HAVOK into the Well of Echoes, destroying the Forerunner base.{{Ref/Reuse|hll}}
