Evil Ash III is the demonic spawn of Ruby and the Necronomicon ex-mortis. Developed by Ruby as a clone, he has the DNA of the world's greatest hero Ash Williams and his nemesis Ruby Knowby. He was created to be next "chosen one" in the event of Ash and Brandy's death.

History[]

Ruby from the 1982 finds the Necronomicon and uses her blood in a spell to create a demonic spawn that will take the place of the chosen one once Ash and his seed is killed. Evil Ash III is born by bursting through Ruby's chest and attacks a hitchhiker who had investigated the disturbance in the car. Ruby picks up the infant and finishes off the Hitchhiker and kidnaps the woman that was with him.

Ruby is shown feeding the demonic spawn human parts and keeps Natalie alive to be used as food later. Ash later comes across a now toddler stage of Evil Ash III and attempts to capture him, though eventually successful, Natalie is killed and her body was puppeteered by the child and fought Ash until the latter uses bowling balls to trap Evil Ash III in the body. Ash then puts the body in the trunk of his car.

When Ash opens the trunk of his delta in an attempt to prove to Brandy that he is telling the truth, she is instead horrified at what she sees as unfortunately the demonic spawn ate the body and appears normal except for being covered in blood, making it look like Ash has trapped and physically abused a small infant, the new Sheriff sees this and assumes Ash has hurt the child and attempts to stop him.

Ruby takes the child back to her house and it cocoons itself and stays that way until it becomes an adult. After emerging from the cocoon as an adult in the image of Ash, he is commanded to amputate his organic chainsaw off in order to be able to disguise himself as Ash.

Evil Ash III arrives at the school and begins slaughtering any student he can find as part of a plan to turn Brandy away from Ash and have her kill the real Ash with the kandarian dagger. He later encounters Pablo and fights with him as the latter realizes he is an imposter. Ruby's plan works initially but Brandy cannot bring herself to kill her father, Pablo and Evil Ash III then burst into the dance hall, revealing to everyone that there is two Ashs. Before Evil Ash III can do anything, he is unceremoniously killed effortlessly by Ash, who decapitates him using his shotgun.

Evil Ash III was born with a demonic appendage that acted like an organic chainsaw and functioned as such, it was this appendage that he had to amputate.

Personality wise, Evil Ash III was more subservient in comparison to his other evil doppelgangers, as whereas they either worked alone or actually lead the forces of darkness, Evil Ash III was a minion of a Dark One. He also had a sense of humor as he joking said that he killed one student for wearing the wrong shoes.
