Jack Bates was a lifelong criminal and convicted murderer.
Biography[]
Having apparently eaten his own mother, Bates was imprisoned and later used as a test subject by pharmaceutical enterprise MetCon. Bates was traumatized by the ordeal, often subconsciously repeating the name of the chemical used in the trials, Haxon-K. As of 2179, Bates was associated with fellow criminal Enzo Jaeger, and the two escaped from the prison ship Tartarus. Landing on Acheron, the two journeyed to the Hadley's Hope colony. Finding it deserted, the pair were attacked by a horde of Xenomorphs. During the fighting, Bates exhibited the results of MetCon's experiments on him, namely the ability to mutate to a large size and destroy everything in his way. Bates was killed by bounty hunter Madison Voss and her partner Jex, along with Jaeger.
