Biography[]
Doctor Caspar Nordling was a biotechnologist for the Grant Corporation and director of his research facility, staffed entirely by Synthetics. Nordling's work involved studying the Xenomorph species in order to develop a deadly virus capable of proving fatal to the creatures, but not to Humans. Years in isolation without human contact would eventually take its toll on Nordling's sanity, and he lost his mind in his work. He would subsequently sell his facility's Eggs on the black market. When security auditors Philip and Joy Strunk began catching on to his suspicious activities, he would attempt to have them murdered by drugging them and transporting them into the facility hive, though they escaped with the help of the android Jeri.
Nordling was killed by Jeri after he sneaked inside his escape pod and lit a virus-laced cigar, puffing smoke directly into his face. [1]
