Stans

Stans's History

Walter Stans was a convicted mass-murderer who was kidnapped by the Super Predators and taken to the Game Preserve Planet in 2010. Together with the others dropped on the planet at that time, he attempted to find a way to escape and return to Earth.

Stans was an infamous mass-murderer who had killed 24 people. However, it was suspected that he had killed as many as 38, which he himself had claimed. It was also likely that he was a serial rapist. Only two days prior to his execution, he was chosen by the Super Predators to be taken to the Game Preserve Planet to be hunted.

Upon landing on the planet, he would go on to encounter RUF death squad officer, Mombasa, and would engage in a brawl with him. Just as Stans had the upper-hand, their fight was broken up after they encountered a group of fellow castaways led by Royce. Valuing strength in numbers, Stans and Mombasa joined them.

The group would go on to encounter a strange altar with skulls. When the group began debating their circumstances, Stans speculated that perhaps they were part of a government experiment.

Upon discovering that they were on an alien planet, Stans later began complaining about the lack of a gun. He suddenly lunged at Mombasa and held his shiv to his throat, demanding that he give him his AKM. Mombasa responded by putting a Colt M1911 to his jaw, citing that he was ready to die. Suddenly, the group were attacked by deadly quadrupeds known as Hell-Hounds. Stans attempted to flee, but was pounced on by one of the creatures. After stabbing it multiple times with his shiv, Mombasa saved him by kicking the hound away and killing it with his AKM.

Stans and the group continued onwards and came across a campsite with a captive Predator bound to a monolith, before they are all suddenly attacked by three Super Predators - Berserker, Tracker and Falconer. Mombasa was killed and the group fled, falling over a cliffside and into a lake, escaping the hunters. Isabelle went on to reveal that she had heard a report 23 years prior of an encounter with one of the creatures in Guatemala.

Stans and the others would go on to encounter Ronald Noland, a long-time survivor of the hunt, and he escorted them back to his home - an Abandoned Alien Drill. Noland revealed to the group that the Predators had been kidnapping personnel they deemed worthy to hunt, and then transported them to the Game Preserve Planet to kill for sport and to improve their skills. He also noted a "blood-fued" between the Super Predators and the Jungle Hunters. Stans asked Noland how long he has been stuck on the planet, to which he responded with "seven seasons". After Noland attempted to kill the group via smoke suffocation, Royce creates an explosion to earn the attention of the Predators. Noland was killed by the Tracker Predator, and Nikolai sacrificed himself to kill the latter as the group fled.

Escaping from the drill with their lives, Stans celebrated the group's victory over Tracker, before being subsequently shot in the back by Berserker's Plasmacaster, though he unwittingly survived due to stealing Noland's armor chestplate, wearing it under his prison jumpsuit. As Berserker moved on to Royce and the others, Stans suddenly leapt on the Predator's back and began stabbing him in the chest with his shiv, telling the others to run. However, Berserker tossed Stans off, who laughed maniacally and goaded the creature to finish him off. Berserker obliged by ripping out Stans' spine and skull while he was still alive, roaring in triumph at claiming his trophy.
