Brian Clauss (Earth-7149)

Dr. Brian Clauss was a member of the seven-men scientific team of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation stationed aboard the UNSC Auriga as a part of Project OZYMANDIAS.

Biography
Clauss was present during the cloning of Ellen Ripley under Project OZYMANDIAS, and later at the operation to remove the Queen Chestburster from within her. After the final clone, Ripley 8, broke Dr. Dan Sprague's arm while trying to close her incisions, Dr. Clauss assisted in performing a surgery to repair his fracture.

Following the escape of the cloned xenomorphs from their captivity, Clauss was one of the first to presence the carnage after discovering many Facehugged UNSC Marines. After arming himself with an M90 shotgun, he entered a testing chamber, but he was ambushed by a xenomorph that waited him outside. The xenomorph then activated the nitrogen spray deterrent of the cell, freezing Clauss, and breaking his brittle body to pieces.
