Biography

Juan and Chang flee the Sulaco.

After the Sulaco had its course re-routed from Gateway Station to Anchorpoint Station by Weyland-Yutani military science execs Fox and Susan Welles, the military ship had trespassed UPP territory, violating a non-aggression treaty. Chang is sent alongside fellow commandos Kurtz and Juan in their ship the UPP Interceptor and boards the Sulaco to investigate. The group explore the interior of the Sulaco and eventually encounter the severed legs of Lance Bishop and the Hypersleep chambers containing Ripley, Newt, Hicks and Bishop. After noticing a malfunction in one of the chambers, Kurtz opens it, revealing Bishop's torso and fostering an Alien egg. The egg suddenly opens, and a Facehugger leaps out and latches onto Kurtz, causing chaos. Juan subsequently grabs the torso of Bishop and tells Chang to get back to the Interceptor. Though Chang protests leaving her comrade behind, Juan cites that the Sulaco is leaving U.P.P. territory and that they have to be gone by then, lest they breach the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty between the UPP and Wey-Yu. He also notes that Kurtz would never be able to pass quarantine. As such, the two retreat back to the ship and leave Kurtz behind.

Juan and Chang returned to Rodina Station and submitted the torso of Bishop to senior members. Juan presumably perished afterwards following a Xenomorph infestation on the station, either dying at the hands of an Alien, or from the station's nuclear destruction by the Nikolai Stoiko.
