The Fire and Stone Engineer was one of the last surviving Engineers stationed on LV-223. He was encountered by Galgo Helder of the Geryon after its fateful expendition to the moon. He was hunted down and later killed by the Predator Ahab, with the help of Galgo.
Biography[]
When the crew of the Geryon first landed on the now lush moon of LV-223, the Engineer kept a watchful eye, observing the Helios vessel from a distance.
The Engineer was later fully encountered by Galgo when he Piper and Higgins were sent to the Perses by captain Angela Foster for reinforcements. The Engineer was seen stacking a pile of dead Xenomorphs, before Galgo quickly escaped from the scene.
The 'rescue'[]
Once the crew managed to escape from the Helios and reunited with the rest, the crew retreated into a previously encountered crashed derelict ship, with the Xenos in hot pursuit. Deeper within the interior of the derelict, they encountered a still operational laboratory to create life. Crew member Clara Atkinson wished to document the chamber and stayed behind, the crew unintentionally leaving her. Her lover James Weddel noticed this and returned to the chamber to find her. The two were soon cornered by a group of Xenomorphs, and as the two prepared for death, the Engineer suddenly emerged within the chamber holding a rifle-like weapon. The Xenomorphs attacked him but were quickly incinerated by the superior being's weaponry. After the battle, Clara expressed her gratitude towards the Engineer and thanked him for saving them. The Engineer responded by pointing his gun at them and incinerating them like the Xenomorphs he had just fought. He then crushed Clara's recording device and followed after the retreating Xenos, her footage of all the events on the moon that she had witnessed being destroyed.

The hunt[]
Meanwhile, back in the Perses, the Predator Ahab boarded the vessel and kept Galgo hostage. He revealed to him that he is hunting the same Engineer that Galgo had encountered, and forces him to return to LV-223. Once returning to the moon, the two ventured into the jungle and came across the same pile of dead Xenomorphs Galgo had previously encountered, now immensely larger than before. Galgo and Ahab eventually find Angela and fellow crewmembers Chris and Jill Hanlock, still on the moon. Foster explained to Galgo that the Engineers have been purging the moon of all wildlife, "clearing up" anything living they came across.
Ahab battling the Engineer.
Whilst further exploring the jungle, Galgo and Ahab suddenly met the Engineer face to face. Galgo subsequently fled the scene, much to Ahab's surprise and after a brief battle, the Engineer quickly overpowered him, breaking an arm and a leg. Ahab retreated back into the Perses, the Engineer in hot pursuit. Ahab, in a last ditch effort, managed to impale a harpoon into the Engineer's chest. The Engineer, however, was able to tear it out and prepared to finish Ahab off. Just before the Engineer killed the weakened Predator, Galgo returned and shot him in his chest wound with the Engineer rifle that Galgo had previously found. Ahab finished the job by setting a Self-Destruct Device, escaping the Perses and blowing up the ship. As Galgo reunited with Foster, Chris and Jill, Ahab returned to the wreckage of the ship to collect himself the skull of the dead Engineer, finally obtaining the trophy he desired.
