Company Advisor, Weyland-Yutani Corporation Carter Burke worked for the Weyland-Yutani Corporation for nearly ten years and is the company man sent with the Marines to LV-426. What the Marines don't know is that Burke is sent by the Bio-Weapons Division to bring back a live alien for research. He is responsible for sending the colonists to investigate the derelict spacecraft after Ripley made her report on what happened to the Nostromo. He plans to impregnate Ripley and Newt with alien embryos and sabotage the Marines' freezers on the return trip to earth, insuring that an alien would get past Quarantine.
