He was my favorite character of Prometheus, in fact as strange as it sounds the more developed. He was a robot but there was more humanity in him and you often sympathized with the guy despite his dark motives (some of which we still don't know and he and Rapace are said to return for the sequel). As the created he seeks knowledge but he is always on the middle. On one hand the gods' creations -us, humans- always discriminate for the simple fact he is not human and as Weyland describes it "he doesn't have a soul" and a simple imitation of life. On the other hand the creators see him as an abomination (cut-head scene).
