Fictional Character Biography
In How to be a Good AP History Student 3, Ethan was a junior at Ballston Spa High School, and the last AP History student left in the school after his friend Tommy was kidnapped and zombified by the AP History Guy. Because of this, the Mike Dame Posse recruited him to try and blow the AP History Guy up with a grenade. Ethan was naturally skeptical.

Shortly after, Ethan was kidnapped by the Second AP History Guy, an AP History Guy impersonator who starts trying to force-teach Ethan history. The original AP History Guy found the two, and begins arguing with the Second AP History Guy over what the best way to force teach students is. Ethan escapes in the ensuing confusion and gives the grenade back to Mike. While sulking around the school, Ethan saw the Second AP History Guy had kidnapped the school principle and was trying to force-teach everyone history over the school news. Ethan, coming to his senses and deciding to try and stop himl, ran to the school news room and began stopping the Second AP History Guy, resulting in a chase across the school. The two ran into Mike Dame being chased by a now-zombified Mike Dame Posse, who began chasing all three of them until they were cornered. Ethan and Mike managed to escape by pretending to be brainwashed, tricking the zombies into leaving them alone.

Ethan and Mike then began searching for the AP History Guy, Ethan coming across The Mr. Preece Stock Footage during the search. The AP History Guy suddenly ambushed them, locking Mike in a locker and chasing Ethan throughout the halls of the school. Culminating outside, the AP History Guy tried violently force teaching him AP History, on the verge of murdering him. At the last second, Mike comes to the rescue and convinced the AP History Guy that he is the worst AP History teacher ever, causing him to explode in a mini-nuclear explosion. Ethan survives the explosion and celebrated the AP History Guy's death with Mike at the end.

In AP: Apocalypse, News Director mentions that Ethan left the Mike Dame Posse after the events of the third film.

Ethan returned in AP: Ultimatum, where he is captured and brainwashed by the Second AP History Guy as a pre-emptive measure to ensure he doesn't try and take down the AP Regime. Given cybernetic and HSX alterations, Ethan becomes a mindless warrior named Ethan Mechagee, who was forced to murder Sound Guy and tasked with hunting down the Mike Dame Posse. Capturing the group in the woods, Ethan punched the amnesic AP History Guy in the head while preparing to execute them, the hit unintentionally returning his memories.

Tracking the group to the Hall of Springs battle afterwards, the brainwashed Ethan cornered Mike Dame and attempted to kill him. Appealing to his old, repressed self, Mike overpowered Ethan and managed to undo the mind control with several punches to the head, returning him to his original persona. Shortly after, Ethan called the UN and used his AP Regime authority to announce the Regime's surrender, thereby stopping the UN's impending nuclear strike. Breathing a sigh of relief, Ethan walked away in the woods.
