The Last Engineer is the main antagonist of the 2012 science fiction horror film Prometheus. He is a member of The Engineers, an enigmatic extraterrestrial species that are known for their advanced technology in genetic engineering, being the creators of humanity.
The Last Engineer was tasked to annihilate all of humanity with the black goo pathogen for unknown reasons. But he had to put himself into cryo-sleep due to a containment breach regarding the black goo, making him the only Engineer left on Lv-223. He would eventually be woken up by the same species he was said to destroy.
Appearance[]
Like all other members of his species, this Engineer stood at around 2.44–2.74 m (8’-9’) in length and had a very muscular build. The skin had a clear pale complexion with the entire body and head being completely hairless. The brow ridges were large, and he overall had very well-defined pronounced facial features, furthermore, the eyes are completely black.
His uniform appeared to be made from some form of biological matter, as it seemed to integrate with his body at the wrist sections. The apparel was grey in color with a bio-mechanical aesthetic to it. When controlling the spaceship, he began to wear the standard Engineer helmet that had elephantine features.
Personality[]
The true nature of this Engineer is mostly enigmatic like the rest of his race, but he did portray himself as being clearly misanthropic, even though the exact reasoning for this is unknown. He decided to kill the humans who awoke him, presumably from his moral disagreement of seeing David, who is a conscious being that is not formed from any organic material, as he’s an android. Additionally, this Engineer appeared to be extremely loyal to his general obligations, immediately continuing with his goal of exterminating humanity only moments after having been woken up from his over two millennia long cryosleep, which gives off an impression of extreme commitment.
His misanthropy combined with his devotion, made this Engineer also appear to be very wrathful, having no problems with using physical violence to assert his will and he spend the last moments of his life attempting to chase and kill Elizabeth Shaw, all because she got in the way of his cause.
Story[]
Past[]
Two thousand years before the events of Prometheus, around the year 93. this Engineer was positioned on the moon LV-223 and worked with his fellow Engineers on developing and containing a black goo mutagen that had the ability to both destroy and shape new lifeforms.
