Ace was born a slave. He was born in a Lepi family that was enslaved by a brutal Mandalorian who had lost his honor. The Mandalorian had been so upset about his loss of his honor that he took it out on his slaves if they slipped up or disrespected him. He would act like he still had his honor, but even his slaves knew he didn't. In any case, Ace was raised like a normal child up until the age of three. When he turned three years old, the Mandalorian began beating Ace. The Mandalorian, whom Ace called "Master", would beat Ace because he believed Ace was insignificant.
