List of Alien vs. Predator characters
 |
This article is a list of characters and actors from the films Alien vs. Predator (2004) and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007). These films brought together the fictional storylines and creatures of the Alien and Predator science fiction franchises, serving as sequels to the two Predator films and prequels to the four Alien films. Although the creatures had previously been crossed-over in other media such as comic books and video games, these films represented the first time that they had appeared together in feature films.
Lance Henriksen was the only previous actor from either the Alien or Predator films to appear in one of the crossover films. Henriksen had portrayed the android Bishop in Aliens (1986) and a man claiming to be the android's creator in Alien 3 (1992). He returned to the franchise for Alien vs. Predator to portray Charles Bishop Weyland.
Alien vs. Predator
Alexa "Lex" Woods
The heroine of Alien Versus Predator. Alexa is recruited by Maxwell Stafford to be the guide for a team of explorers and scientists that is sent by Weyland Industries to explore a pyramid located under Bouvet Island. During the expedition, she and her team accidentally start a 'coming of age' rite for the Predators ahead of schedule by removing the Predators' plasma cannons, thus leaving them with only melee weapons to use against the Aliens.
However, after several of the expedition members are killed, and only one of the Predators, known as Scar, is left alive, the two of them join forces after Alexa kills an Alien that ambushes the two. Lex provides Scar with his plasma cannon while he makes her a makeshift shield and spear out of the remains of the dead Alien.
After the last surviving member of the team, Sebastian De Rosa is killed, they set a bomb in the hive to destroy the temple. Alexa and Scar attempt to evacuate, but are once again attacked by Aliens. Lex manages to kill one before they are all called away by the Queen. Taking the opportunity, they flee the temple before it is destroyed. After they rise to the surface, Scar subsequently marks her a warrior in recognition of her defeat of two of the Aliens.
Following the attack of the Alien Queen, during which the Queen was tipped into the Southern Ocean, Scar dies. Alexa is confronted by the rest of the Predator clan as they collect Scars' body. Recognizing her mark, the commander of the Predator ship (known as Elder) gives her one of their Combi-Sticks as a trophy before departing.
Charles Bishop Weyland
The CEO of Weyland Industries, dying of an unspecified disease and desperate to make his mark on history before he dies. He hires a team of archaeologists, scientists, and explorers to explore the pyramid located in Antarctica, believed to be the first pyramid ever built due to its structure, combining elements of all the great ancient civilizations.
When the Aliens attack, Weyland refuses to abandon the guns they acquired earlier because he feels that "Too much has been lost to leave with nothing", then, realising that his illness is slowing them down, chooses to stay behind to try to buy Alexa and Sebastian time to escape. Though Weyland tries to stop the pursuing Predator, Scar refrains from killing him after a scan shows that Weyland is already dying of his illness, making him an unworthy target. When Weyland subsequently uses an improvised flamethrower (made out of his inhaler and a flare) against the Predator after it leaves him lying on the ground, Scar turns back and kills him.
Graeme Miller
An engineer and a member of the expedition crew. He befriends Alexa and Sebastian on the helicopter ride to the pyramid. During so, it is revealed that he has two boys. He also seems to be somewhat nervous and anxious most of the time.
When the pyramid shifts, he is trapped in a small room with Verheiden. He tells him that they have to continue if they are to get home their boys. However, when they are traveling on through the pyramid, it shifts once more, separating the two. Once Verheiden is taken away, he sees an Alien at the end of the room, and is dragged off to the hive. Once there, he awakens to find an egg opening before him and a facehugger ready to leap. Still attached to the wall, he manages to get a hold of Connors' gun and shoots the facehugger repeatedly. He then realizes that there are several other eggs opening in response.
Miller is later discovered to be dead by Alexa and Scar, his chest having been ripped open.
Maxwell Stafford
Weyland's right-hand man, Stafford was a member of the team sent into the ancient pyramid. He is one of three people to become targets for the predators, after taking one of their ceremonial plasma guns. After the pyramid shifts, he is attacked by Celtic and is trapped under a tightening net. He pleads for Weyland to help him, but it proves fatal. He is killed when Celtic subsequently impaled him with his Combi-Stick.
Rusten Quinn
The head of the expedition's drill team, he is attacked by the Predators after stumbling across the corpses of their previous victims. He attempts to physically assault a Predator, only to be hit with one of its wrist blades, throwing him into the hole in the ice that leads to the pyramid. He awakes to find himself lying near the entrance to the pyramid as the Predators walk by him. He expresses relief, believing that they ignored his presence, only to be killed by the final Predator seconds afterward.
Joe Connors
One of the mercenaries hired to protect the explorers, he was separated from the rest of the group after the pyramid chambers start shifting. Connors was presumably dragged away by an Alien to the hive. He is seen later, cocooned with a facehugger attached to his head and a gun still stuck to his hand.
Sebastian De Rosa
A member of the team of explorers hired by Weyland to explore the pyramid, he serves as the team's archaeologist and linguist, translating the writings on the walls of the pyramid to learn the story of the Predators and their hunts.
When the pyramid shifts, he gets trapped with Weyland, Stafford and Alexa. After a Predator attack, he and Alexa are the only ones remaining. After being chased by Scar, the pyramid shifts, just in time for them to escape into another room. There, they watch Scar kill a facehugger and an Alien, then witness him mark himself with its blood. After Sebastian translates the hieroglyphs around them to learn that the Predators have come to Earth as part of a ritual to prove themselves, Alexa and Sebastian conclude that they must return Scar's gun to him.
When the pyramid shifts once more, they are chased by Aliens to a cliff, where Alexa just misses the other side and Sebastian is forced to lift her up. Just then, the Alien "Grid" appears right next to him, and drags him off to the hive. Later, she and Scar find Rosa cocooned in the hive. He pleads for her to kill him, having stated that "it" is already inside of him. She honours his wish, and shoots him in the head.
Adèle Rousseau
The second female member of the exploration team. Rosseau becomes the first victim of a facehugger/chestburster, after she is put in charge of studying the sacrificial chamber where the facehuggers emerge. She awakes to find a dead facehugger next to her and all the other people in the room with facehuggers on them. She takes off her jacket and begins to moan and convulse, spitting up blood. She lets out a horrific scream, as the chestburster rips through her chest.
Thomas Parks
Parks is one of the team members left in the sacrificial chamber with Rousseau. He becomes the victim of a facehugger, and though it is not shown, his death was caused by a chestburster.
Mark Verheiden
One of the mercenaries hired to protect the explorers, he, along with Stafford is one of the team members to take one of the Predators' ceremonial guns, thus making him a target of the Predators. When the pyramid shifts, he sees Connors in trouble, but does nothing. Despite him keeping his distance, he gets trapped in a small room with Miller, where it is revealed that he has one child awaiting him at home.
With that encouragement given by Miller, he continues to move through the pyramid. However, immediately afterwards, the floor moves out from under him, dropping him down a hole and breaking his legs. As he screams for Miller to get him out, the floor closes back up above him. He then spots an Alien down the hallway, and grabs hold of a machine gun that is covered in slime, shooting at the Alien. However, upon turning around, he sees another Alien right next to him, and is then killed.
Mercenaries
"4 Mercenaries in Sacifical Chamber" - Killed by Facehuggers. "1 Mercenary outside" - Killed by Scar. "3 Mercenaries in kitchen" - Killed by Celtic.
Grid
An Alien responsible for the killings of the first two Predators (Chopper and Celtic). It was given the name "Grid" after it got caught in Celtic's net, and a grid-like pattern was cut into its head. Celtic also managed to cut off the sharp tip of its tail (robbing it of the same attack which it has previously used to impale Celtic), but it adapted to this by using the open wound on the tip of its tail to fling acidic blood at its enemies. Grid was one of the Aliens who attacked Scar, and was the only one to have dodged one of his plasma blasts. It is presumed to have died in the explosion with the other Aliens after freeing the Queen from her chains.
Other Aliens
There was a total of ten other Aliens (not including Grid or any facehuggers) that were born throughout the film. Their deaths and previous kills are as follows:
1. An Alien that finds Scar alone in a room of the temple. However, when it prepares to kill him, Scar reacts and slices the front of his face clean off.
2. An Alien that erupted from Sebastian's stomach when he was killed. However, it is instantly grabbed by Scar and had its neck snapped.
3. An Alien that discovers Connors and Verheiden, then drags both of them off to the Alien hive. It is killed when Scar shoots it with his plasma cannon.
4. An Alien that discovers Miller and drags him off to the hive. It is killed after battling Alexa. When it lunged at her, it was unexpectedly impaled by Scar's Combi-Stick, which Scar had dropped earlier and Alexa managed to grab.
5. An Alien that is killed by Scar's plasma cannon.
6. Same as above.
7. An Alien that battles Scar and Alexa, but is called away by the Alien Queen before it is able to do much damage. It is killed in the pyramid's explosion.
8. An Alien that battles Scar and Alexa. It is killed upon leaping onto Scar in an attempt to kill him. However, Lex then pulls out a drilling rifle and shoots it with such force that its back is ripped open.
9. The Predalien, seen hatching from Scar at the end of the film.
Predators
Three Predators (nicknamed Scar, Celtic and Chopper) were sent to the pyramid to prove themselves to the elders. The first to die (Chopper) was speared through the chest by an Alien's (who is later known as "Grid") tail. The second (Celtic), battled Grid, delivering some injuries, but eventually lost control and was killed by the "Grid" Alien's inner mouth. The third one, Scar was the only one to slay any Aliens, joining forces with Alexa Woods to escape the temple. Having marked her as a warrior in recognition of her defeat of the Aliens, and subsequently aiding her in defeating the Alien queen, Scar was impaled by the queen's tail before her demise. After his body was removed by the other Predators, it was revealed that he had become the host for a Predalien. An Elder Predator appears at the end of the film, and gives Alexa his ceremonial spear as a recognition of the mark on her face.
Queen Alien
The Queen was held in suspended animation by Predator technology, but was awakened when the hunt began. She immediately started laying eggs and was eventually freed by her "hive". She was presumably killed when Alexa and Scar managed to wrap a chain around her, and sent her crashing into the Southern Ocean.
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem
Dallas Howard
Dallas Howard, (portrayed by Steven Pasquale), an ex con and the film's main protagonist, returns to Gunnison, Colorado after his time in prison. He is Ricky's older brother and good friends with Sheriff Eddie Morales.
When Ricky comes home to find Dallas back from his time in prison he tells him about Dale having attacked him and that his car keys are lost in the sewer. He offers to help Ricky get them back, but only after thoroughly arguing. In the sewers, they manage to find the keys, but not after Ricky sees a newborn Alien chestburster swimming through the sewage. They then hear an Alien hissing at the end of the tunnel, and flee.
When the Aliens attack, he and Morales take the teenagers along with Darcy to a radio store where they find a few more refugees; two clerk owners. He sides with Kelly when she offers an alternative escape plan, and leads her, Molly, Ricky, Jesse and Drew, while Morales leads Darcy and several others to the army's promised evacuation zone.
After they get through the hospital, Jesse and Drew having been killed and Ricky having been impaled, Dallas finds the Predator's plasma pistol and uses it as his own weapon. The group travels to the helicopter on the rooftop's building, but are attacked by a number of Aliens. Escape seems almost impossible, until Dallas manages to blow a hole through the wall with the pistol, allowing them to leave safely.
When the group finally makes it to the helicopter, Dallas stays behind to buy them time. Using the pistol, he kills several Aliens and is almost overpowered. Just when the helicopter is about to take off, the Predator finds him and attempts to take the pistol back. The Predator is then attacked by the Predalien, allowing Dallas to board the copter.
They manage to fly away, but the town's explosion causes turbulence, forcing them to crash. Dallas awakes, dazed, to find a group of camouflaged troops surrounding the group, where Dallas finally gives up the gun in return for medical help for Ricky.
Ricky Howard
Dallas Howard's younger brother (portrayed by Johnny Lewis), and Jesse's love interest. He is an enemy of Dale, as Jesse shows interest in him. However, Ricky doesn't seem to hate Dale back. It is revealed that he works as a pizza delivery boy with Drew as his manager.
His role in the film begins when Drew assigns him a delivery at Jesse's house. When he gets there, he realizes that Dale is also at the house with his two friends, Nick and Mark. They treat him badly while there, but don't bother him physically until Ricky is at his car, ready to leave. The three attack him, steal his keys, and throw them down the storm drain.
He gets home to find Dallas back from jail. Ricky asks Dallas to help get his keys back, and Dallas agrees. When in the sewer, they see the keys in the bottom of a pile of muck and when they attempt to reach them, find an Alien chestburster swimming in the water. Frightened, the two flee the sewers with Ricky's keys.
A while later, Ricky meets up with Jesse at the school's pool. However, Dale and his cronies meet them there; Ricky shoves them into the water unaware that an Alien is lurking nearby. Jesse spots the Alien and yells for them to get out, but not before Dale's friends are killed by the Alien.
Ricky escapes and travels with his older brother in order to locate a way out of town. They decide to make their way to the hospital, where a helicopter is on the rooftop. However, during an extended melee throughout the hospital, Jesse is killed by Wolf, pinned to the wall with a shuriken. Ricky, enraged, attacks the Predator, before Wolf is jumped on by an Alien, causing them to fall down an elevator shaft. The attack makes Wolf drop his plasma gun. Ricky picks up the gun, but he is impaled by the Predalien through the shoulder. After Dallas opens fire on the Predalien, the creature flees. Injured, Ricky manages to get to the helicopter with Dallas, Kelly and Molly before the bomb is detonated.
Kelly O'Brien
Kelly O'Brien, (portrayed by Reiko Aylesworth), comes home after serving her time in the U.S. Army, to an estranged daughter, Molly, and her awaiting husband, Tim. During the attack her husband Tim is mauled and killed by an Alien. She flees with Molly to the local graveyard and find a man who is then killed by the Predator. She and Molly later arrive at the sporting goods store where Dallas and a few others are hiding. She convinces the others to avoid Gilliam Circle i.e the center of town, and the airlift because she knows the Army will look to contain the Aliens even above saving lives. Together with Dallas, Ricky and Molly she escapes the town on the helicopter after losing Drew and Jesse.
Molly O'Brien
Kelly and Tim O' Brien's daughter. She becomes traumatized by the Aliens and the fact her father is killed in the attack. Together with Dallas, Ricky, and Kelly, she escaped the town on the helicopter after losing Drew and Jesse.
Tim
Molly's father and Kelly's husband. After Kelly's time in the army, it is revealed that he has become Molly's "mother role" after she denies her mother to read her a bed-time story. He is killed when Molly says that she saw a monster outside her bedroom window. When he looks outside, an Alien attacks him. As he holds him off, he tells Kelly to take Molly and run. He is unable to overpower the Alien, and is killed.
Deputy Ray
A co-worker of Morales. He is sent to investigate the hunting pairs' deaths, and finds the Predator disintegrating their bodies with a strange blue liquid, so that there is no evidence of the Aliens. When he attempts to stealthily leave, dispatch suddenly began talking to him, and is promptly killed by the Predator. The next morning his body is discovered by Morales, skinned and hung up on a tree.

Harry and other homeless people
A group of people living in the sewers illegally. When Joe tries to get them out of the sewer, Harry calls his dog, who then brings to them Buddy's rotting arm. Joe, completely repulsed, leaves and they continue to live in the sewage. Later, they are attacked by facehuggers (Harry manages to grab on to one of them before it can clamp on to his face, but is soon impregnated as well).
The two victims are soon discovered by the only female homeless woman with the facehuggers still attached to their heads. Suddenly, the Predalien approaches her. She pleads for her not to kill her, but is soon impregnated. Though it is not shown, they are all killed by the chestbursters. Later, they are disintegrated by the Predator, to cover up the evidence.
Ritchie

He is then feasted upon by the Alien, and later disintegrated by the Predator.
Nick
One of Dales' cronies. Along with Mark, he helps him constantly assault Ricky. When they find Ricky and Jesse at the pool, he falls into it and is attacked by an alien, but manages to get out of the pool before he can be killed. When the group is climbing out of a window to escape, he is the last to climb out and is grabbed by an Alien. Ricky manages to grab a hold of him, but is soon overpowered and Nick is pulled back in. His blood is then splattered on the windowpane.
Sam and Buddy
A father and son hunting pair who see the crash landing of the Predator ship. When Buddy sees a facehugger escape from its tube, the two flee the scene with the parasites in hot pursuit. However, Sam trips, giving the Aliens an advantage. They begin by leaping at Buddy, who manages to shoot it. However, the facehugger's acid blood burns through his arm, allowing another facehugger to attack, and this time, successfully. With his father unconscious, Sam is unprotected and also gets impregnated.
A few hours later, they wake up to find the three dead facehuggers next to them. Soon, Buddy gives birth to a chestburster before Sam's eyes, as does he. They are later disintegrated by the Predator, with Deputy Ray watching in the background.
'Colonel Stevens'
"Colonel Stevens" identified himself as an officer in the Army to the survivors in Gunnison, but later appears to be an employee or agent of Yutani. He told Sheriff Morales to gather the citizens of Gunnison in the center of town for an airlift, but no airlift was planned, instead the town was nuked.
After eventually receiving Wolf's plasma weapon, he gave it to Ms. Yutani.

He later joins a group of survivors waiting for a rescue. He dies when the nuclear device is dropped and is killed along with the survivors, the Predator, the Aliens, and the Predalien.
Drew
He is Ricky's manager at a pizza restaurant and hired him mainly because he had a love interest in Ricky's guidance counselor. During the attack, he travels with Ricky, Jesse, Molly, Kelly and Dallas to the helicopter. He says that he was attacked but couldn't do anything to help his friends, whom he watched die. He is somewhat self-centered, as he complains when Dallas tells him to protect Kelly so that she can pilot the helicopter. While traveling through the hospital, he is attacked and killed by an alien, but it is unknown how.
Wolf Predator
A veteran warrior that received the distress signal from the dying Predator ship and traveled to Earth to "clean up". He murders Deputy Ray, two clerks, an armed man, and accidentally kills Dale and pins Jesse to the wall with his shurikens. Angered by Jesse's death, he is attacked by Ricky where he drops his plasma pistol and is knocked down an elevator shaft, but manages to survive the fall. He was killed in the midst of a struggle with the Predalien, in which he ripped out its inner jaw and stabs her through the head, but it's acidic blood sprayed across his chest. Soon afterword, the nuclear device is dropped and he is set ablaze.
The Predalien
The film's main antagonist and the strongest of the previous Alien Queen's children. She rose from the dead Predator Scar and eventually grew to full size and killed every Predator on the ship. The ship eventually crashed on Earth in Colorado, and the Aliens soon swarmed into the town with the Predalien as their leader. The Predalien, (as said by the film makers) is a young Queen: she can impregnate female victims by implanting several chestburster embryos down their throat. She was killed along with Wolf and the other aliens during the nuclear explosion.
Unnamed Deaths
There are a few deaths (not including the deaths caused by the town's explosion) that were also caused. They are:
- Two stoned clerks hiding out in their shop. They are killed by the Predator when he shoots their heads with his plasma cannons, spilling their blood everywhere.
- A doctor working at the hospital during the attack, unaware that it has become the Predalien's hive. When he sees that a pregnant woman's readings become faint, he goes out to see what is going on and sees the woman give birth to several chestbursters. When he turns around to go back to his office, he sees the Predalien right behind him, who kills him by unhooking her inner jaw.
- A nurse taking care of a pregnant woman whose water has just broke. When she leaves the room, the Predalien strangles and kills her.
- Two pregnant women, one whose water just broke. She is impregnated by the Predalien in front of the other woman, who is either killed in the town's explosion, or is also impregnated.
- Several unnamed national guardsmen that are ambushed and killed by the Aliens when they attempt to protect the town. A few of them may have survived the initial encounter as some automatic weapons are heard on the center of the city where the bomb is dropped.
