Ronald Johner (Earth-7149)

"You hang with us a while. You'll find I am NOT the man with whom to fuck!"

- - Ron Johner to Ripley 8

Ronald "Ron" Johner was a mercenary aboard the smuggling freighter Betty. In September 2568, Vriess and the rest of the Betty's crew delivered restrained colonists to Weyland-Yutani Corporation scientists aboard the USS Auriga in the orbit of Pluto, which resulted in a xenomorph outbreak, of which he was one of the only four survivors.

Early life
Born in the Outer colony Mamore, on July 5th, 2529, Ron Johner experienced poverty and fear for his life since he was young, leading him to develop a severe dislike for the United States Colonial Marine Corps and the megacorporations that essentially governed his homeworld, which he considered imperialistic. As a teenager, Johner became a deliquent, but never joined the Insurrectionists as he believed they were as equally manipulative and extremist as the corporations and the military, and then he rose to become a criminal and mercenary on his own.

During this time he met with other mercenaries Gary Christie and Dom Vriess. Only one year later, they were recruited by Frank Elgyn and Sabra Hillard to be their crew members aboard a stolen freighter, the Betty.

Battle of Kawlang
He and the crew were present at Kawlang when the Battle of Kawlang took place in 2544, having to fend for their lives. There, Vriess sustained paralyzing injuries after being struck in his legs, and would be unable to walk for the rest of his life, while Johner was left with a violent facial scar while trying to help Vriess.

Skirmish on the USS Auriga
"Jesus Christ, Johner, what do you put in this shit? Battery acid? Just for color."
