Captain Jack, mentioned only in Blood of the Chozo, was a merchant that sold holo-cards and advised against buying them from Earth. Also in Blood of the Chozo, Captain Thea Aran was named as having been killed along with Chief Engineer Avram Aran, these two eventually evolved into Chief Rodney Aran and Virginia Aran, the parents of Samus Aran. Thea's rank was unknown, as Virginia was not seen to be involved in any military activities, apart from, possibly, the Afloraltite mining operations on K-2L. Captain A.C. Exeter, the only captain to appear in official Metroid canon, was the leader of the GFMC Task Force Herakles and killed prior to Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Finally, Captain Falcon of the F-Zero series has been affiliated with Metroid, through the Super Smash Bros. series.
