Rodney Aran

From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki

Rodney Aran was the father of Samus Aran. During the attack of Ridley and his Space Pirates at K-2L, he shoots the Afloraltite with an automatic weapon, igniting it and causing a massive explosion, wiping out everything on the colony except The Chozo, Samus and Ridley. His name was only mentioned in the Metroid e-Manga.
