Biography[]
Vriess was an engineer aboard the smuggling ship the Betty. He felt infatuated with Annalee Call and had a rivalry with Johner.
Vriess and the crew of the Betty were responsible for delivering several kidnapped civilians to United Systems Military scientists aboard the USM Auriga, and he subsequently also became involved in the Xenomorph outbreak and infestation aboard the ship.
Vriess was paralyzed from the waist down, requiring a wheelchair for mobility. Despite this handicap, he was able to defend himself with a gun and bedame one of the four survivors of the Auriga incident, along with Ripley 8, Johner and the Auton Annalee Call, with whom he still maintained a friendly relation when he found out she was an adroid.
