YMMV / Alien: The Cold Forge

• Complete Monster: Dorian Sudler is a Weyland-Yutani auditor, ensuring WY facilities run as profitably as possible by firing people who aren't pulling their weight, who especially enjoys firing people who he feels have wronged him personally—which isn't difficult. Dorian thinks the Xenomorphs are the most wonderful things ever, quickly coming to identify with them more than his fellow humans and actually hoping they break containment just so he can see them in action. Later on, Dorian moves survivors around like pawns to service his goal of escaping the station, not planning for there to be any other survivors. Dorian not only allows survivors to die to preserve his own life, he begins actively killing them if he thinks they're in his way, crippling a woman he seduced and watching as a Xenomorph kills her, even attempting to emulate a Xenomorph's lethal claws and teeth in killing another man. But his true venom is reserved for Dr. Blue Marsalis, who he feels he must kill personally, and as painfully as possible. When Dorian finally meets his fate, snatched by an Alien and impregnated by a Face Hugger, he considers this a fitting end to his life, mingling his DNA with the finest killers in all the cosmos.
• Moral Event Horizon: It's debatable exactly when Dorian crosses this in the story, but he certainly does. Perhaps by hiding and letting a Xenomorph kill the man he's with, not only not watching out for his partner like he was supposed to, but taking the opportunity to watch a Xenomorph in action close up. Probably when he systematically cripples Anne by beating her with a chair, then leaving her in the hall for a Xenomorph to kill as he watches from the shadows. Perhaps when he tears at another survivor with his teeth and nails, attempting to emulate the Xenomorphs he so admires. Certainly, by the time he's using the computer to guide the Xenomorphs to the last survivors, opening and closing doors to attract the attention of the Aliens, ensure the survivors can be gotten to, and taunt them with their helplessness, he is beyond any hope.
