Engineer/Space Jockey

This race of Alien creatures are known for creating the human race and are highly intelligent. According to Dr Elizabeth Shaw and Charlie Holloway, These primitive beings engineered us, though it is not a direct quote. Engineers created us in Earth's Primordial stage by sacrificing himself with the Engineer's Black Gooey Chemical which is seen to mutate in Prometheus. The lone Engineer drank the liquid and fell down a waterfall therefore " Seeding " Earth with life. In early development of Prometheus, one suggested that an engineer traveled to earth to teach the humans, but was seen as a threat by many and then crucified by the Romans, suggesting that this engineer was Jesus Christ. That person suggested that that's why the Engineers wanted to destroy the humans after learning of that Engineer's death. The Engineer's around 2,000 years ago started planning to wipe out Humans on Earth with that Black Substance they have created, but got and couldn't control the substance causing the Engineer's on LV-223 to die out. 4 surviving Engineers were put in hypersleep in their ship so that they wouldn't die, except only one ramained until the Prometheus arrived.
