Thomas Gilbert Ward Kane was the executive officer of the commercial freighter Nostromo, which he served during the fateful last voyage of 2526 when the crew encountered a xenomorph on Acheron, being the first victim, and incubator, of the Alien.

Early life
Thomas Gilbert Ward Kane was born on June 16th, 2493, in Borehamwood,Hertfordshire, on the United Kingdom, on Earth. He became a star student during his childhood, and eventually graduated with tip honors from the Bryce-Watkins Medical University on Coral, where he developed an addiction to medicine, leading to an embolism which left him hospitalized for 107 days. After his plans of a medical career were ruined, he did numerous engineering courses, until he acquired a pilot license.

Afterwards, Kane became the executive officer of the Outreach, a hospital ship on the Epsilon Indi system. Relieved of his post after his addiction to medications resurfaced, he descended into alcoholism. Realizing he would likely die, Thomas sought psychological help, and after two years of treatment, he became free of his addiction to alcohol, and found a job at the Concordance Extraction Corporation as the executive officer aboard the Nostromo.
