Doctor Darwin King was the astrophysicist assigned to the ill fated Ultra Probe mission of 1996.
King was the first Ultra Probe crewmember to be killed by the alien creature encountered at Ultra.
The skeletal remains of King, Juliet Mackie and Monique Bouchere were still visible aboard the Ultra Probe when the creature was encountered, and finally killed, when the moon reached Ultra in 2002.[1]
