Marshal Waits

Order on Sevastopol Station hangs by a thread, and the man clutching that thread wears the badge of the Colonial Marshal Bureau. As the Xenomorph tears through the orbital trading post, Waits becomes one of the few authority figures Amanda Ripley can turn to, for better or worse.

Marshal Waits’s Morally Gray Command

Gruff, weary, and convinced that the ends justify nearly anything, Waits runs the Marshal Bureau with an iron grip that breeds resentment among Sevastopol’s residents. His greatest sin came early: ignoring quarantine protocol and letting the Anesidora crew aboard, a decision that loosed the creature in the first place. Rather than warn the station, he buried the truth, deepening the paranoia that shattered civil order. His coldest move is reserved for Amanda, whom he uses as live bait to trap the Alien, then jettisons alongside it without hesitation. He believes Ellen Ripley herself would have approved of burning Sevastopol to ash.

Who Voices Marshal Waits in Alien: Isolation?

William Hope lends both voice and likeness to Waits, a fitting choice given his deep roots in the franchise. Hope famously played the nervous Lieutenant Gorman in James Cameron’s Aliens (1986), and has voiced numerous characters across Aliens vs. Predator titles.
