Ash Bison

Ash Bison (1977-2018) was a suspect in the murder investigations of teenager Rosa Wolf in The Death of Rosa Wolf (Case #1 of Grimsborough) and Viper leader Salvador Cordero in Into the Vipers' Nest (Case #11 of Grimsborough), before becoming the victim in Byte the Dust (Case #14 of The Conspiracy).

Profile
Initially appearing as a 35-year-old member of the Vipers, Ash donned a blue cap, and a black jacket over a white t-shirt with a bullseye drawn on it. He also sported a tattoo of the logo of his gang, The Vipers.

In his first appearance, it was known that Ash is right-handed.

In his second appearance, he gets an oil stain on his jacket and it is discovered that he is asthmatic and chews gum.

The Death of Rosa Wolf
Ash was the first suspect in this case. After Matt Barry was arrested for Rosa Wolf's murder, Jones and the player tried to interrogate Ash for information regarding the Vipers gang but Ash refused. This prompted the team to investigate the city's entrance for any trace Ash might have had left behind when he was arrested. The fingerprints on the gun matched Ash's (thanks to Alex), and the team thus hurried back to make him cooperate, but Ash was not willing to do so, even with fingerprints on a hand gun he dropped – grounds for the team to temporarily lock him up.

Into the Vipers' Nest
Ash returned as a suspect after the team found his dog tag in a toolbox in the crime scene. Upon interrogation, he said that he was not saddened by the victim's death since he was dumb and since he kept triggering his asthma for laughs.

Later on, Tony Marconi spilled that Ash became the gang's new leader after Salvador's death. Ash admitted he was happy to be the new boss but kept in mind that Tony was the true boss of the district.
