Biography
He was a part of the ship's misson to LV-223. He had a crush on Vickers. While the others were making their investigation regarding that planet, he and his co pilots stayed on the ship taking care of it. On Shaw´s desperate request, he died after he flew the Prometheus into the Engineer's ship to stop it from delivering the black liquid to Earth with the intention to wipe out the human race, when they both realized in time what the surviving Engineer was up to.

He succeeded in his purpose, but also destroyed himself and the ship.
