Hey guys, it's Tim and this is H an annotated
It's no secret that hunting xenomorphs has been a big part of the Predators culture
It's how they test their young and they go so far as to breeds Animorph another planet in order to get different results
But did you ever wonder who started all of this?
Well, this brings us to the story and legacy of Lord the very first predator to hunt a xenomorph
Lord is an ancient predator whose most notable feeds is him being the first predator ever to kill a xenomorph or serpent on a hunt
This act made him the most revered hunter of all time even thousands of years after his death
predator elders still remember him and his accomplishments
upon his death
He was buried in a pyramid on the planet BG 386 alongside the body of the first xenomorph Queen the Predators captured
Likely to bind the two who started this all together for all time
And this by all means should be the end of the story. But as we all know the conflict of aliens vs
predator never truly ends
Enter the predator known as dark a warrior from the elite clan and Lords direct
Descendant who alongside two other predators were sent to BG
386 by their elder in order to investigate a distress call from a young blood pack
However on his mission Dark was eventually forced to retrieve a stolen predator wrist braiser
from weyland-yutani
To research lab wood had come to be located on the planet before he did this though dark found Lords bio mask on the surface
of the planet
Yes
Strangely enough over the years Lords equipment came to be scattered across the surface of the planet for whatever reason
Through the biomass upon entering the tomb of his ancestor dark saw Lords first defeat of the serpent
Which was a xenomorph warrior after he killed the foe he tossed away the Serpent's body in disgust as a show of dominance
This may also mean that he didn't find it worth it to take a trophy from this fight
Also during his time on the planet one of darks cohorts wolf was impregnated by the xenomorph Royal Guard
specimen 6 this eventually created what was referred to as the predalien or as it's also called the
Abomination this all came to a head in the tomb of Lord
After witnessing the holographic recording of the first successful xenomorph hunt
Dark was nearly caught off guard by a swarm of other xenomorphs who were inside the tomb as well
He managed to defeat them and even discovered that Lord was his ancestor
This was also where he discovered that the first alien queen was buried next to him
Dark decided to attach the wrist braiser. He had gotten from weyland-yutani to Lords sarcophagus and set it to self-destruct
This is when the abomination
Reappeared it tackled dark to the ground and the two fell into an ancient battle arena amidst a lake of molten lava
Which just so happened to be under the tomb for some reason were the two began their fight to the death
When all was said and done dark emerged victorious and he dragged the abominations carcass to the roof of the facility
that was above the pyramid and
Hurled it to the ground in display of dominance and in disgust as Lord had done before to the first xenomorph
This especially showed dark skills considering that the predalien
As the name would indicate had all the skills of both the Predators and the alien at the disposal with his mission now
complete and the facility set to explode dark escape from the planet aboard his ship and
As he walked through the halls the other predators bowed their heads to his presence and were in awe of the feats that he achieved
Surely words of his feet would echo through the halls of time as his ancestors had but dark wasn't done with the Serpent's just yet
Following this all dark commanded his shift navigational system to plot a course for the planet
That would be the site of their greatest hunt yet
xenomorph prime
Considering that this is the only time we ever hear from dark as the sequel doesn't follow the same story
But other events that happen to take place on BG 386 and that the Xenomorphs are still around after this point
I'll assume that this decision went about as well as you'd imagine
Attacking a planet full of Xenomorphs going so much for the legacy of the first serpent hunter, huh?
As of right now Lords only appearance within the 2010 alien versus Predator video game which as mentioned before
Did have a sequel but it didn't follow the events of the first game
Despite being an important part the stories predator campaign
Lord never directly appears in it. He's only ever shown as a hologram that dark sees inside of the subterranean temple
Which are mostly of Lord celebrating his victorious hunt of the Xenomorphs, which as stated was the first of its kind
because of this not much is known about him and were not likely ever gonna get a follow up to this story in the near
future
But maybe that's for the best sometimes legend tips day that way being remembered for what they did rather than who they were
But what do you guys think of the first hunter and his legacy?
Well, as always let us know your thoughts down in the comments, but until next time this has been Tim for HN annotated
