"Not like we were on speaking terms with them, Captain. Didn't have a mixer to get to know one another."
Humble to Paget regarding the Tartarus Clan (from Predator: Life and Death)

Captain Humble was Captain of a Seegson excavation team. He and his crew travelled to the planet LV-797 with the intention of illegal prospecting, only for his crew to be slaughtered by a clan of Yautja, leaving Humble one of the few survivors left.

He would go on to ally himself with the USCM after they arrived on the planet, joining forces in a plight to survive against the Predators, and later, the Xenomorph and Engineer species.

Biography[]

Slaughtered by the Predators[]

Humble was an employee of the Seegson corporation, assigned to covertly strip the assets of the Weyland-Yutani-owned planet LV-797, nicknamed Tartarus.

Upon landing on Tartarus, Humble and his crew set up an excavation site, eventually encountering an Engineer Juggernaut. The team boarded the ship, intending to secure it for salvage. After several weeks however, the team were ambushed and massacred by a clan of Yautja, who intended to acquire the Juggernaut for themselves. Humble, alongside crewmate Melville, was left as one of the few remaining survivors, but managed to stay clear of the Predator clan by moving quietly and unarmed.

Joining the Marines[]

After an unknown period, the USCM combat ship, Hasdrubal was dispatched to investigate We-Yu suspicions of illegal activity on Tartarus. Upon Captain Paget's platoon landed on the planet and discovered the excavation site, alongside an Engineer Juggernaut, Melville and Humble peacefully approached the Marines, with Melville introducing themselves and revealing the fate of their team. Melville explained to the Marines that the hunters seemed to be treating the ship as an artefact, and that they were protecting it from invaders. Humble requested a firearm, but Paget immediately shot him down.

Plan to secure the derelict[]

"Rucker tagged it. I saw. But they do that. Could be anywhere close, we wouldn't see it. For God's sake, give me a sidearm."
Humble (from Predator: Life and Death)

Paget decided to send Sergeant Roth and his team (alongside Humble and Melville) into one of their dropships to fly over to the Juggernaut and secure its interior whilst Paget's team approach the vessel by foot, attempting to sweep the forest using M314 Motion Trackers to flush out the hunters. However, the Elder Cracked Tusk Predator ambushed the dropship and managed to crash it. As the dropship crashed near the quarters of the Juggernaut, Rucker managed to wound the Cracked Tusk Predator and caused it to flee. Roth's squad entered the interior of the derelict and eventually reach the cockpit, with Humble constantly requesting a gun. Synthetic Pilot Singer suggested that he could get the vessel operational and have the ship leave Tartarus and abandon the Predators.

Humble guns down Cracked Tusk, killing him.

The Cracked Tusk Predator, unbeknownst to the other Marines, was observing them within the derelict and called for the Predators who were battling Paget's crew to retreat back to the vessel to stop them from lifting it. The Cracked Tusk Predator ambushed the squad a second time and pinned Singer against a sarcophagus-like object and went in for the kill, but Singer managed to dodge, causing Cracked Tusk to plunge his wristblade into the sarcophagus, immobilizing himself. Humble managed to grab hold of a Pulse rifle and shot him point blank, killing the Predator. After the battle, Singer managed to get the ship operational, intending to send it to the nearest USCM facility, Ganymede station. Sergeant Roth scorned Humble for using a firearm, but Humble reassured the Sergeant, the two not noticing that they had awakened the Engineer from within the Sarcophacus-like object caught in Humble's crossfire.

Awakening the Engineer[]

As Singer was attempting to contact the Hasdrubal, Marine Indelicato inspected a sarcophagus that was previously hit during the fight with the Predator. The sarcophagus opened, and an Engineer emerged from stasis. It was immediately hostile and killed Indelicato, sending Humble and the others into a retreat. Humble and the Marines were forced to hide from the Engineer as it began taking control of the ship and directing it somewhere else.

Landing on LV-223[]

Six days later, the derelict landed on the moon LV-223. The Engineer walked out of the vehicle and Humble and the Marines quickly follow once out of sight. The group began searching for shelter, food and water. Wearing scanned the area and told Seegson asset-stripper Humble that the floral-forms around them were completely toxic. Humble hugged her, with Wearing asking him to let go. The Marines were suddenly ambushed by a horde of Xenomorphs, resulting in Rucker being taken and Jhalil being gravely by the creatures' acid blood. As the group were close to being overrun, they were suddenly saved by Geryon survivors Angela Foster and Galgo Helder. The Predator Ahab later revealed himself to the group too, much to Humble and the other's shock and bemusement at seeing a non-hostile Yautja.

Freebody and the team regrouped at Foster's base, where they also met fellow Geryon survivors Chris and Jill. Humble asked Angela on the whereabouts of their ship, to which she revealed that all ships they possessed were lost.

Later, after Galgo reported to the group that the Engineer had visited a temple to reawaken a second Engineer from stasis to kill them, the team formulated a plan to leave the moon.

In a plan to seize the Juggernaut, Angela had Ahab and Galgo distract the second Engineer whilst Angela, Roth, Singer and Humble went to the derelict to deal with the first Engineer. The rest of the team, Wearing, Freebody, Chris, Jill, and Melville were to carry the supplies, as well as Jhalil. With Roth providing a distraction, Humble, Angela and Singer all managed to secretly board the Juggernaut. However, the Engineer entered the ship and lifted it, stranding Roth and the others.

Exploring the Juggernaut[]

"Well, speculate on something more useful. We're stuck on board with one of them. The bastards set course and returned to his sleeping berth like he hasn't got a care in the world. We're gonna run out of food, water, maybe air. I know that won't matter to a synth, Singer --"
Humble to Angela and Singer (from Prometheus: Life and Death - Final Conflict)

During their voyage inside the Juggernaut, Angela, Singer and Humble were investigating a mural depicting an Engineer consuming the liquid from a Steatite Ampule, though Humble was more concerned with the ship's destination. Eventually, they reached the ship's flight deck, discovering that the Engineer had entered stasis and had set the ship to a course to Earth. Foster woke the Engineer up, only to immediately throw a belt of grenades at him and detonate them, killing him. After recovering from the explosion, Singer noticed that the ship was slowing down and that three had arrived at an unknown planet. His fate remains unknown.

Personality and Traits[]

"Get off, Humble."
"So pull away from me. Or take some damn comfort when its offered.
"
Wearing and Humble (from Prometheus: Life and Death)

Humble was a capable survivor, though he was generally pessimistic and prone to making sarcastic quips.
