In the same way as something like Jurassic Park, where there is typically a human antagonist over and above the threat of the dinosaurs, so too is there a human (or android) bad guy alongside the Xenomorphs of the Alien franchise.

Over the years this has been Ash (Ian Holm), David (Michael Fassbender) or Rook (also Ian Holm), while in Aliens, it was Carter Burke (Paul Reiser).

In Ripley's fight to keep human life as far as physically possible away from the Xenomorphs, Burke was initially a warm companion. In reality, though, he had no interest in anything Ripley had to say, only to follow the orders of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation to bring home a sample of the alien, with no regard for the dangers.

His comeuppance was served with beautiful irony as he was attacked and killed by one of the very Xenomorphs Ripley had tried so hard to warn the company about. 

There aren't many times the hideous monsters deserve to be given their flowers, but this was one of them.
