Godzilla: King of the Monsters[]
Led by Jonah, Asher and the rest of their group infiltrate Monarch Outpost 61 in the Yunnan Province of China, killing all the people there except for Emma Russell, her daughter Madison, and Mothra, who escaped before the eco-terrorists can capture her, and seals herself off in a cocoon.
With the Russells held hostages, the eco-terrorists head towards Monarch Outpost 32 in Antarctica using a stolen Monarch Osprey and passcodes obtained from the Yunaan base to trick the personnel stationed there. When they reach the facility, every Monarch agent present is killed as the mercenaries intend to free a Titan known as Monster Zero from the ice. After placing explosives around the frozen Monster Zero, Asher and some of his team partake in a gunfight against a Monarch rescue squadron led by G-Team member Diane Foster. When Emma's ex-husband Mark Russell arrives, Asher is about to aim his sniper at him, only for Foster to shoot Asher in the head, killing him.
Personality[]

Asher is thoroughly loyal to Jonah and his cause to create a better world, saying that even though he wouldn't enjoy the deed, he would kill a thousand people if Jonah deems it necessary.
