Riya (played by Eiza González) is a protagonist in Ash. The amnesiac protagonist who wakes up on the K.O.I-442 research station. She experiences violent flashbacks of killing her crewmates and hallucinates Brion due to a nanotechnological parasite infection. After discovering the truth, she extracts the parasite, kills it, repairs the lander, and escapes as the orbital facility is revealed to be overtaken by a larger parasitic entity. Brion (played by Aaron Paul) is a protagonist in Ash. Initially presents himself as an orbital station operator and Riya's companion. Later revealed to be a hallucination generated by the nanotechnological parasite after he was actually killed by an infected Kevin. His corpse is discovered by Riya, triggering her realization of her true state. Adhi (played by Iko Uwais) appears in Ash. The command officer of the station. He advocated for immediate evacuation but was infected by the parasite while investigating the alien lifeform. The infection caused him to become aggressive and attack the crew, leading to his death at Riya's hands. Clarke (played by Kate Elliott) appears in Ash. A crew member whose body is initially missing from the others. She is found alive, flees Riya, and attacks her in the maintenance tunnels.

Riya's boyfriend and a crew member who accidentally introduced the alien invertebrate to the planet. He becomes infected after Adhi's death, kills Brion, and is subsequently killed by Riya before the parasite fully takes hold of her. Davis (played by Flying Lotus) appears in Ash. A deceased crew member found at the station. His death is traced to an EVA investigation where he dropped a rock into an alien atmospheric converter shaft, causing the device to activate and kill him instantly.
