Derrick Russell[1] was a colonist and chief terraformist living at Hadley's Hope on Acheron. He replaced Greg Hansard,[2] overseeing terraforming efforts on Acheron as the colony continued to grow. He was caught up in the Xenomorph infestation that overran the colony on July 3, 2179.
Russell was one of 38 colonists who fled Hadley's Hope aboard the Onager. They subsequently crash-landed on LV-223, only to discover several Xenomorphs had stowed away aboard the vessel with them.
He later discovered a Parameter Uplink Spectagraph left over from the Prometheus mission that was still mapping the terrain. He then used the PUPS to document his findings.
From a hidden cave in a mountain, he spent months studying the environment, the Engineer Pyramid with a live Engineer, that he was not able to awaken, and a mysterious alien pathogen.
Eventually, he became last survivor and was killed by a group of Xenomorphs.
Trivia[]
- Russell is one of three characters to appear in both the comic Aliens: Fire and Stone and the novel Alien: River of Pain, along with Nolan Cale and Genevieve Dione.
