Kane

Background

G.W. Thomas Kane is the 2nd Officer of the commercial towing vehicle, the Nostromo.


During the events of Alien (1979) played by John Hurt

Kane and the crew of the Nostromo are returning to Earth from outside the Outer Rim Territories when they are woken up from hibernation by their ship. They are required to investigate a transmission they receive that may be a distress signal. They land on the planet LV426, and Lambert, Dallas and Kane go to investigate the signal. While investigating a spaceship, Kane is attacked by a Facehugger. Ripley and Dallas argue about letting the search crew back into the Nostromo. Ripley wants to follow quarantine protocols, but Dallas demands she open the door to let them in, which Ash eventually does. The Facehugger eventually becomes unattached from Kane's face and he appears to recover. While eating their final meal before going back into hibernation, Kane starts choking and screaming and a Xenomorph erupts from Kane's chest, killing him.
