Alien Resurrection
- Ripley Clone #8
Ripley Clone #8 (Sigourney Weaver) was a human-alien hybrid clone, generated from the DNA of the original Ellen Ripley and the embryotic alien queen recovered from Ellen Ripley's blood samples from Fiorina 'Fury' 161 that had been kept on ice. The integrity of the DNA, however, had been compromised by the freezing process, having caused the separate DNA samples to intercross with each-other. 'Number 8'- as she was simply referred to by the likes of the commanding officer, General Perez, who considered her to be no-more than a "meat by-product," being more interested in the Alien Queen-, was the eighth clone and most successful attempt to separate Ripley's and the Alien Queen's DNA; her seven predecessors were shown as physically twisted amalgamations of the two species, with only Clone #7 being capable of speech and clearly in intense pain just by existing. 'Ripley', due to this 'genetic-crossing' shares similar traits to the aliens, such as an empathic link with the rest of the hive, acidic blood, enhanced strength and reflexes, and 'Genetic Memories', as speculated by Dr. Wren and Dr. Gediman.
- Call
Annalee Call (Winona Ryder) is the newest member of the Betty crew, and has a secret mission to destroy Ripley before the Scientists can remove the queen embryo from her. Unbeknownst to everyone, Call is actually a second generation android: a robot designed and built by other robots.
- Johner
Johner (Ron Perlman) is a somewhat physically imposing, scarred member of the Betty crew. He is a dark-humored joker and has a short temper. He constantly argues with Vriess, who he teases for being handicapped. Frequently seen with a rather toxic liquor of his own concoction, the container of which conceals a pistol. He is one of only four characters to survive and land on Earth.
- Vriess
Vriess (Dominique Pinon) is the chief engineer of the Betty. He is handicapped and uses a wheelchair- precisely what happened to him is unclear, but it is shown that he does not even register Alien blood on his leg-; he is able to hide a shotgun in various pieces upon his chair to avoid its detection. He is one of the few characters to survive the endeavor.
- DiStephano
Vincent DiStephano (Raymond Cruz) is a soldier of the United Systems Military. He was one of the soldiers sent to capture the crew of the Betty, but is captured himself and is left in the custody of the mercenaries when the other soldiers abandon ship. He then agrees to help everyone escape the Auriga. He also briefly explains the history of Autons when it is discovered that Call is one of them. He and the group eventually board the Betty and strap themselves in, preparing to return to Earth. The ship's cargo hatch is open, however, and Call goes to fix it but she is confronted by the stowaway newborn. DiStephano soon comes to check on her, sensing danger. He then sees the newborn, which crushes his head with its bare hands.
- Christie
Christie (Gary Dourdan) is a muscular, dreadlocked mercenary amongst the Betty crew. Christie is first mate and second in command of the Betty, and carries two disposable guns attached to his wrists. He is forced to carry Vriess on his back in a back-harness when they flee underwater. He suffers severe injury when an alien spits acid in his face, and sacrifices himself by detaching himself from Vriess.
- Purvis
Larry Purvis (Leland Orser) was rescued by the team unexpectedly. He was one of the many test subjects who were kidnapped for experimentation and impregnated. Call offers to take him along so they can be freeze him in cryostasis, where they can later remove the embryo. He dies when the group is ambushed by Dr. Wren. While Wren is arguing with the crew, Purvis is convulsing as blood pours out of his mouth. Purvis eventually gets to his feet and staggers over to the scientist, surviving numerous gunshots before relentlessly pounding the villain into some steel steps. Purvis then manages to kill Wren by positioning himself so that his chestburster forces its way through his chest and Wren's skull.
- Wren
Dr. Mason Wren (J. E. Freeman) is one of the five scientists who worked on resurrecting the alien queen. He exposed Call as a "terrorist" who was searching for information on the aliens and ordered soldiers to kill her and the other mercenaries. This failed and they captured him. He acted as a guide until he betrayed them, shooting Call non-fatally and heading to the Betty, hoping to get there before the others and escape, stranding them with the aliens. He is killed when Purvis attacks him in a violent fit of rage, forcing Wren's head to his chest moments before the chestburster emerges, killing them both.
- Hillard
Sabra Hillard (Kim Flowers) is the assistant pilot of the Betty and is the romantic partner of Elgyn. She is eventually taken by the aliens when they swim below the cooling station.
- Elgyn
Frank Elgyn (Michael Wincott) is the raspy-voiced captain of the Betty. Elgyn provides General Perez with kidnapped humans still in cryostasis for a large sum of cash. He was also romantically involved with Hillard. He is killed when an alien baits him with a collection of weapons in a stray corridor, where he is pulled through the floor grating and killed.
- Gediman
Dr. Jonathan Gediman (Brad Dourif) is one of five scientists who perform the operation on the Ripley clone to retrieve the queen embryo. He becomes the first victim of the aliens when he enters the aliens' cage to investigate their disappearance. He is then grabbed by an alien and taken below decks to the Queen's chamber. He is then cocooned by the Aliens. When Ripley is taken to the alien queen, Gediman is overjoyed to witness the queen painfully give birth to the mutant newborn. The newborn shares a bonding moment with its mother before killing her, much to Gediman's horror. It then advances toward Gediman and bites into the top of his skull, spilling his brains. In the book, shortly after his death by the newborn, a chestburster bursts from his body. During his dealings with and on the subject of Ripley, he referred to her as a she, while Wren called her an it.
- General Perez
General Martin Perez (Dan Hedaya) is the commanding military General of the medical research lab where Ripley is being cloned for the alien queen's resurrection. After destroying an escape pod carrying a stowaway alien, he is bitten in the back of the head by yet another creature, exposing his brains, which he proceeds to examine before dying.
- Carlyn Williamson
Dr. Carlyn Williamson is a female scientist on the Auriga. She teaches Ripley how to speak early in the film using picture cards and, in the assembly version, accidentally triggers memories in her of Newt. She is with Gediman when the aliens capture him. She is later seen already cocooned and apparently deceased in the hive chamber.
