The First Light Predator was a Yautja encountered on LV-1201 in 2230.


Biography

Hunt

The Light Predator arrived on LV-1201 on November 26, 2230 along with Prince and the rest of the Clan[1]. After the start of the Hunt on December 1, he stayed close to Prince and the First Heavy Predator and handed Prince a Combistick[2].

Capture

"The attack has begun. Our modified EMP grenades work. It is fitting that we use their own technologies against them. "
―General Rykov's journal (from Aliens versus Predator 2)

Later, Weyland-Yutani personnel captured Light and Heavy using modified EMP Grenades derived from Yautja technology found at the Zeta Site[3]. They were taken to the Forward Observation Pods for research and experimentation. Heavy was taken to Xenomorph implantation by Dunya under orders from General Rykov, but Light and Prince were spared similar fates by Doctor Eisenberg, who wished to study them[4].

Death and legacy

"What kind of society would prefer its soldiers to die instead of being disarmed? "
―Weyland-Yutani scientist logging Light's death (from Aliens versus Predator 2)

The First Light Predator's dead body under examination

On December 10, W-Y scientists attempted to remove Light's wrist gauntlet. Removal of the gauntlet triggered pulmonary arrest, killing Light[5]. This incident ended up proving vital for Prince's escape from the Pods: to prevent killing him, his gauntlet was left on, allowing him to use his Wrist Blades and Charge Emitter after being accidentally freed from stasis by Andrew Harrison. Prince later found Light's dissected body on an examination table[6].
