Predator (1994), Dutch is rebuilt as an android by the United States Colonial Marine Corps, and he and his partner Linn Kurosawa join forces with two Yautja to fend off an invasion of xenomorphs.
[1] After Dillon recruits Dutch and his team to go on a mission to Val Verde, purportedly to rescue a foreign cabinet minister and his aide from insurgents.
En route, the team discovers the wreckage of a helicopter and three skinned corpses, whom Dutch identifies as Green Berets that he knew, leading him to become suspicious of Dillon's intentions.
After the team reaches the guerilla camp and witness the execution of a hostage, Dutch leads them in mounting an attack, killing most of the rebels and several Soviet intelligence officers.
Dutch confronts Dillon, who reveals their true mission was to stop a planned Soviet-backed invasion, the CIA having sent the Green Berets weeks earlier.
Unbeknownst to them, they are stalked by a Yautja, employing a cloaking device and thermal imaging technology, who kills one of Dutch's team while Anna is attempting to escape.
He crafts makeshift traps and weapons, and as he covers his body with additional mud for camouflage, before luring the Yautja out at night with a war cry and torch.
Despite being overpowered, outsmarted, battered, and bathed in his own blood he vomited, Dutch attempts to goad the Yautja into a booby trap he feels it won't see.
[6][7] In Predator: South China Sea (2008), set years following the events of Predator, Dutch is depicted as "Agent Onyx", who had mentored former United States Special Forces operative John Gustat in killing Yautja after Gustat's wife and son had been killed by one, before tracking one down to an illegal hunting preserve on a private island in the South China Sea.
[8] By 2025, the present-day narrative of Hunting Grounds, Dutch had begun working with the newly reinstated OWLF; after an encounter with another Yautja had left him critically wounded, he agreed to an experimental treatment to bond his DNA with that of a Yautja (as in Predator: Concrete Jungle), allowing him to continue fighting as a young man would at the age of 78, working with Peter Keyes' son Sean, and former Israeli Defense Forces sniper Isabelle Nissenbaum, who had previously been abducted to a "game reserve" planet (in Predators).
During one such engagement in Malaysia, his group succeeds in killing a new, much more agile type of Yautja, albeit at the cost of several men, collecting its remains and any technology they can recover before making for home, which happens to be the base at which Devlin is stationed.
Now promoted to the rank of captain, Devlin leads his unit in support of Dutch and his mercenaries on another operation in Mexico, securing a downed Yautja craft and killing one its occupants.
After Devlin recovers from his wounds, he is recruited by Dutch to run the OWLF's new operations command center, established in light of an increasing number of Yautja.
[11] Robert Rodriguez hoped to have Schwarzenegger cameo as Dutch in Predators (2010), revealed in his originally scripted ending to have joined a Yautja hunting party, but this ultimately did not happen.
[12] In March 2011, Schwarzenegger revealed he was being considered to reprise his role as Dutch in a new Predator film, which ultimately entered development hell.
