Ex-Detective Sergeant Bishop is a high-ranking figure within the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, serving as the Head of Security for the Weapons Division. His career, as suggested by his title of ex-detective, indicates a progression from investigative roles to a senior management position of utmost trust within the company. His most significant operation was leading the recovery mission to the penal colony Fiorina "Fury" 161, with the objective of acquiring the Xenomorph Queen embryo carried by Ellen Ripley. He attempted to persuade her by offering medical treatment, but his offer was rejected due to Ripley's complete distrust of the Corporation. The mission failed when Ripley sacrificed herself to destroy the specimen. Although there are no known formal commendations, his senior position is in itself a testament to his status and strategic importance to Weyland-Yutani's interests. He also claimed to be the human designer on whom the Bishop android was modeled.
