Behind the Scenes

 * General Hayden was slated to appear as a secondary antagonist in Doom 3, but was cut from the game, making Betruger the main antagonist.


 * In the 2016 reboot, Hayden has been reinterpreted as an aged civilian scientist who came down with cancer and converted himself into cyborg going by the name Samuel Hayden, who is the chairman of the UAC and highest command on Mars, who is over 130 years old.


 * Some particular differences include the fact that General Hayden is human in the novels in 2145. Whereas Samuel Hayden was a cyborg by 6 months after Argent Tower was completed circa 2127. The only way for them to possibly co-exist is if General Hayden was a descendant of Samuel Hayden (Considering the possibly that all Mainline Doom games are in the same universe) However, the histories of UAC in both universes do not match up at all further supporting they are separate universes (though Doom Slayer may have visited at least two Earth universes).


 * General Hayden was merely a subordinate of Ian Kelliher, and his father Thomas Kelliher. Though he represented the United States Military's interest in Mars.


 * In the novels General Hayden is one of the only survivors rescued by Kane.
 * It is possible he may have had more important part in the unreleased third novel.
