Hector Galamarkis left his family on Lectin 342 and joined the Weyland-Yutani Merchant Astral to start a new life for them. He knows his three daughters and two sons will be adults by the time their colony ship is scheduled to arrive in 15 years, but it was the only way he could work off his family's debt with integrity. He has moderate mechanical skills, but his specialty is hydroponic agriculture.

Hector is a tall and slightly overweight Greek man with curly hair he keeps cut short. He keeps his overalls tidy and wears a Patriarchal cross pendant around his neck.
