Al Simpson was a Weyland-Yutani employee and the senior administrator in charge of the Hadley's Hope colony on LV-426. He was killed during the Xenomorph infestation at the colony in 2179.

BiographyEdit

As the administrator for Hadley's Hope, Simpson was in charged of the colony's day-to-day management. At some point in 2179 he received a message from Carter Burke to investigate a previously unexplored set of coordinates on LV-426's surface. Simpson passed this order on to prospectors Russ and Anne Jorden, who set out to investigate. The Jordens later contacted Simpson through the staff in the colony's operations center, seeking clarification on their rights to anything that they found, given that they were dispatched on specific Weyland-Yutani orders. Simpson was unable to provide them with a definite answer, but voiced his own opinion that, as far as he was concerned, anything that they discovered was theirs to salvage.

What the Jordens discovered was the Derelict Engineer ship, triggering a Xenomorph outbreak on the moon that eventually overran the colony. Simpson and all but one of the rest of the colony's inhabitants perished in the resultant Xenomorph infestation.
