Ashton "Ace" Roads was born on the colony world Vaceos to a poor and needy family. Ace's father was a Commander in the UNSC Navy and his mother was a nurse for the local hospital. Due to war efforts, his mother early got paid and his father couldn't send the necessary funds to keep them alive.

Ace's father was killed on Harvest in 2527 as his ship was shot down by the Covenant. This made Ace hate the Covenant as he saw them as the reason why his life was in shambles. After his father's death, Ace's mother sold herself for survival of her son. Ace grew up as a trouble child and was constantly harassed and abused by both the children of her mother's clients and the clients themselves.

Unable to support her son any longer, she placed Ace in an orphanage. After Ace was placed in the orphanage, he began to have therapy sessions which were sent directly to for the. After about three months in the orphanage, Ace was kidnapped and replaced with a flash-clone, much like other candidates. Once in the program, Ace grew to be a valuable leader and supported his fellow spartans. Within time, he formed a friendship with James-A208, Roderick-A207 and Lane-A342. After James and Roderick were assigned together, their friendship seemed to have ended, but he still held a strong bond with Lance.

Battle of Cylon City
Once arriving at the city, the spartans began to recapture several important locations for UNSC LZ's and command post along beaches, town squares and skyscrapers. Within time, the spartans meet with some marines and began to hold a Norton Industries Building to be placed under UNSC control. As the spartans defended the post, a Scarab was dropped by their position and headed for them. Instead of attacking the post, the scarab walked right over them and did not attack them at all. Ace-A220, Otto-A444 and Rufus-A291 went after the scarab to destroy it while the rest of Fox Team continued to defend the post from a massive Covenant forces attacked.

Running along rooftops and taking out the deck crew, Fox-1 was able to board to the scarab and kill the commanding ultra and the pilots. At the same time, Fox-2 was able to completely decimate the Covenant assault, but with the loss of the entire marine platoon. Regrouping with the rest of the team, Fox was then reassigned to attack a Covenant Carrier LZ.
