KANE

Executive Officer Gilbert Ward "Thomas" Kane is a pivotal character in the Alien franchise, famously portrayed by Sir John Hurt in Ridley Scott's 1979 film Alien. Serving aboard the commercial towing vessel USCSS Nostromo, Kane is remembered as cinema's first human victim to be attacked by a Facehugger and fatally birthed by a Chestburster. His tragic encounter on LV-426 set in motion the entire Xenomorph saga.
