Character Relationships in Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor
Nancy Kane (played by Katherine Romaine) appears in Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor.
Nancy Kane is a scientist at Talos and Dr. Michael Foster's lover. She helps Foster splice alien DNA into laboratory animals and later searches with Dr. Elliot Stein for a cure after Foster is infected. Kane argues that Foster should be kept alive, and her Agnes-based treatment plan drives the final confrontation. Dr. Elliot Stein (played by Allen Lewis Rickman) appears in Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor.
Dr. Elliot Stein is a Talos scientist who works with Nancy Kane to find a cure for Dr. Michael Foster's alien infection. He helps devise the plan involving Agnes, but Foster completes his transformation before the treatment can begin and kills Stein during his escape, making him an early victim of the crisis. Dr. Viallini (played by John Marcus Powell) appears in Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor.
Dr. Viallini is a Talos executive who takes command of the crisis surrounding Dr. Michael Foster. He briefs Jarrett and Mitchell, rejects Nancy Kane's appeal to preserve Foster for a cure, and favors killing him for the company's interests. He also deceives Sherry Griffen and Kim Griffen about their father's disappearance. Dr. Michael Foster (played by George Gerard) appears in Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor.
Dr. Michael Foster is a Talos scientist and Nancy Kane's lover who experiments with alien tissue. After being bitten by Spot, he becomes infected and undergoes a violent metamorphosis. As a monster, he kills Elliot, John, Jarrett, and Mitchell, repeatedly resists Agnes, and is finally annihilated by Sherry's use of the accelerator. Brian (played by Patrick Barnes) appears in Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor.
Brian is Sherry Griffen's boyfriend and accompanies Sherry and Kim when they visit Talos seeking information about John Griffen. Suspicious of Viallini's story, he returns with them to investigate, is caught by Mitchell and Jarrett, and is injured by Foster. He survives and is found by the sisters near the end. Jarrett (played by Greg Sullivan) appears in Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor.
Jarrett is a security official called by Dr. Viallini for a briefing about Dr. Michael Foster's transformation. He later catches Sherry Griffen and Brian inside Talos while they investigate John Griffen's disappearance. Foster appears during the confrontation, kills Jarrett, and leaves Brian injured. Mitchell (played by Tony Gigante) appears in Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor.
Mitchell is a security official summoned by Dr. Viallini to respond to the Foster crisis, alongside Jarrett. He catches Sherry Griffen and Brian during their investigation, later escorts Sherry and Kim through the lockdown, and helps lure Foster beneath Agnes. Foster ultimately kills him after the first beam fails.
