History
Background
Ahron works at Burger Shot in Vespucci, Los Santos, across the street from Vespucci Police Station.
Events of Grand Theft Auto V
Ahron Ward is only seen during the mission "Did Somebody Say Yoga?", in which Michael De Santa takes his son Jimmy De Santa to pick up some drugs. He hands over a plastic bag containing some white powder to Jimmy, and upon Jimmy requesting the '"special", also passes him a drink spiked with an anesthetic commonly used by veterinarans, which is later used to drug Michael.
It is possible to see some of Ahron's posts on Jimmy's Lifeinvader page, revealing his real name. Ahron's Lifeinvader profile picture is the Vinewood Zombie.

I mean, check this out... you see that misguided individual? How do you think he's gotten away with selling drugs in front of that Burger Shot, very conspicuosly, for ten years now, in front of the largest department in the city? He cuts them in.Officer Vincent Effenburger overseeing a drug deal between Ahron Ward and Jimmy De Santa.
In 2024, Ahron Ward is still an employee at the Burger Shot in Vespucci, and still uses the restaurant's parking lot for his drug deals, in plain view of the nearby Vespucci Police Station, for ten years straight by the time of the events of The Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid as part of The Chop Shop update. Ahron makes a brief, non-speaking appearance in Grand Theft Auto Online, noticeably older and once again selling drugs to a grown up Jimmy De Santa.
According to officer Vincent Effenburger, the police officers at Vespucci Police Station are aware of Ahron's drug deals across the street, though they have never done anything about it because Ahron pays them to turn a blind eye.

Trivia
- His Burger Shot name badge is labelled "John Doe".
- Jimmy refers to him as the "friendly neighborhood drug dealer", which is a reference to the Spider-Man franchise as his catchphrase is "It's your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!".
- Ahron's cutscene-only character model in Grand Theft Auto V is named
csb_burgerdrug.yddand he is never mentioned by name in the mission dialogue, implying he wasn't named until the development of the in-game websites. His in-game character model in Grand Theft Auto Online, added in The Chop Shop update, is properly namedig_ahronward.ydd.
