He's The [[MissionControl commanding officer]] in charge of the dude mission to deploy Marines onto the ''Sulaco'', and one of the first to realize how bad the xenomorph infestation has become.

* {{Expy}}: Of Captain Cruz from ''VideoGame/AliensColonialMarines'', the inspiration that this game distanced itself from after development on the latter title went on too long. Steele is a hardened military veteran who acts as your

*
AFatherToHisMen: And He makes it shows.very clear to any and all Marines that NoOneGetsLeftBehind, and the safety of his officers, even in dire (or morally-grey) situations is of the utmost importance to him. When the player character questions him on his plan to destroy the ''Sulaco'' by overloading its systems, Steele will assure them that he only thought of the plan because it gives them enough to time to escape back to the dropship.



* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In certain conversations with the Marines (particularly with some of the optional ones), he will break from conventional identification and call them by their first name instead of their callsign.
--> '''Steele''': (to "Cutter" Kennedy in her ending) Kennedy... ''Zoe''... this has never been a suicide mission.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He's unambiguously on your side, does everything he can to prevent you from getting into risky situations (he warns the player character about going into dark areas without a flashlight, tries to find them the most direct path to their objective), and recommends not going in guns-blazing (as he does with the initial meeting with Davis) until it's absolutely clear that other solutions won't work.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Despite recognizing that his actions will likely lead to a court-martial, he nonetheless orders the Marines to [[spoiler:destroy the ''Sulaco'', first by attempting to overload its systems, then by forcibly crashing it into Phobos]].

the four starting Marines, he is the closest to the operational lead of the group, having the highest rank of the four, being the oldest (and having the scars to match), and acting the most professional of the group, responding to Steele's commands with very clipped acknowledgement. As shown in certain sequences (such as when he tells the others to knock off harassing Whistler), the rest of the group defers to his authority.



The most inexperienced of the four starting Marines, Whistler is a young enlistee who makes it very clear at the outset that he's determined to get the job done.
* {{Determinator}}: Despite the fact that he's functionally the "neophyte" of the starting group, it doesn't stop him from volunteering for missions that other Marines would balk at, such as being deployed on his own to repair comm towers -- or even fight off an encroaching xenomorph queen if the need arises.

* InsistentTerminology: Her backstory establishes that she prefers to be called by her callsign, to such an extent that calling her "Samantha" causes a BerserkButton.
* NonIndicativeName: Her nickname, "Homewrecker", refers to an incident where she cleared out an entire UPP terrorist cell during a house-clearing operation on a backwater colony.
* MilitaryMaverick: It becomes clear very quickly that the guidelines around proper military protocol are merely ''suggestions'' to her, as she will take matters into her hands if the "professional" way doesn't work. This is emphasized in the first conversation with Davis, where she ''chastizes Steele'' for taking the non-combative approach, and decided to fire her gun into the roof of the ''Sulaco'' to get Davis' and his guards' attention.

A high-ranking Weyland-Yutani official who confronts the player character during their second visit to the ''Sulaco'', and whose true purpose for being onboard (and what he wants) quickly becomes clear.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He initially tries to play nice with the player character regarding their questioning of the "cargo" currently sitting in the ''Sulaco'''s storage bay, but couches it in veiled insults that all but make it clear that something is... off about him.
* BreakingSpeech: During the attempts to destroy the ''Sulaco'', he will call the player in an attempt to seriously demoralize them and deter them from their mission:

* EntitledBastard: Begs He begs the player to save him from the FinalBoss FinalBoss, even after trying to have them killed...killed. Naturally, this doesn't work.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Even when his master plan becomes clear and he's set an army of androids loose in an attempt to stall out the Marines, he'll still regard the player character with an odd degree of... civility, responding to their queries despite not having any reason to do so. This is most notably in his introductory conversation, when he tries to dissuade you from going after the mysterious "Cargo" that's being transported.
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Every xenomorph outbreak in the game can be traced to his decision to extract xenomorph specimens and bring them to Phobos, which kicked off an infestation of the colony (and eventually the ''Sulaco'' itself).
