'''Theodore "Theo" Sorel''' was a [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IV]] supersoldier in the [[United Nations Space Command]]. He was a special weapons expert.{{Ref/Reuse|conservatory}}

==Biography==
===Early life===
Born on [[Forseti]] on August 2, 2527, Sorel was raised largely insulated from the horrors of war, instead excelling in music in his younger years. As early successes began to expose him to a wider audience, and the realities that most other UEG citizens were faced with, Sorel decided to completely change the course of his life. A successful military career culminated in an invitation to the SPARTAN-IV program.{{Ref/Book|Id=En103|Enc22|Page=103}}

===Installation 07===
{{Main|Battle for Zeta Halo}}
On December 12, 2559, Spartan Theodore Sorel was onboard {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} when it was [[Battle over Installation 07|ambushed]] by [[Banished]] forces upon arrival at [[Installation 07]]. As the ''Infinity'' fell to the Banished assault, Sorel was leading marines, including [[Private]] [[Chamberlain]] and [[Private First Class]] [[Miyazaki]] in repelling Banished boarders. Upon hearing [[Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain]] [[Thomas Lasky]]’s orders to evacuate, Sorel led the marines to the [[hangar bay]] for evacuation.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Evacuation 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Evacuation #02 - Home Defense}}

Sorel and his marines made landfall on the surface of Installation 07, but their aircraft ''[[Oscar 128]]'' was downed in Banished-occupied territory. Having lost uplink to UNSC command, Sorel and the marines were forced to hold their position after being spotted by Banished forces.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Ringfall 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Ringfall #01 - Enemy Territory}} On the next day, Sorel and his marines witnessed an explosion causing the ring to fracture.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Ringfall 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Ringfall #06 - Asunder}} Two weeks later, on December 28, Sorel went on a recon sweep and observed the ring repairing itself, and returned to Miyazaki, stating that they were to continue sabotaging Banished operation on the ring.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Reverie 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Reverie #04 - On the Mend}}

Sorel eventually rendezvoused with other UNSC forces at the wreckage of the {{UNSCShip|Mortal Reverie}}, which had been found by Spartan [[Vedrana Makovich]] and designated as a UNSC base of operations.{{Ref/Game|Id=hafh|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Reverie 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Reverie #01 - Home Away From Home}} He participated in the defense of ''Reverie'', stationed at its secondary barricade with Makovich, when the crash site came under Banished assault on [[2560#January|January 31, 2560]],{{Ref/Novel|Id=rp16|RP|Chapter=16}} and presumably retreated with the rest of the UNSC forces on February 2.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Retaliation 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Retaliation #08 - The Retreat}}

By March 3, 2560, Sorel had regrouped with Spartans Vedrana Makovich, [[Bertold Vettel]], and a few dozen marines. They decided to enact the [[Rubicon Protocol]]: stop or slow the Banished by any means necessary and keep Zeta Halo out of their control.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Scattered 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Scattered #01 - Rubicon Protocol}} Sorel and Makovich found a crashed UNSC comms satellite and rigged it to broadcast a location ping by cycling through a digital signal chain; they used the satellite sparingly to leave debriefs at the location to reconnect with others, such as Spartan [[Bonita Stone]].{{Ref/Novel|RP|Chapter=24}} On April 24, after being told of increased Banished activity near the ''Reverie'' by Spartan Stone,{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Scattered 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Scattered #02 - What Lies Beneath}} Sorel and Makovich observed [[Site Novem]], a Banished excavation site south of the {{UNSCShip| Mortal Reverie}}'s crash site.{{Ref/Game|Id=tp|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Scattered 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Scattered #04 - The Prize}} The two correctly deduced that Banished [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]] was searching for the [[Monitor]] of the installation, [[117649 Despondent Pyre]], and spent the next few weeks stalling the Banished's excavation efforts.{{Ref/Reuse|tp}}

When the Banished's excavation was completed on May 15, Sorel and Makovich infiltrated the [[Conservatory (location)|Conservatory]].{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Scattered 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Scattered #07 - Infiltration}} Inside, the two were ambushed by the [[Sangheili]] [[Jega 'Rdomnai]], with Sorel being wounded by 'Rdomnai's surprise attack. Makovich urged Sorel to run ahead to locate the monitor, while she would fend off 'Rdomnai.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Scattered 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Scattered #08 - The Assassin}} Makovich died in the following duel against the Sangheili,{{Ref/Reuse|conservatory}} while Sorel made a last stand deeper inside the facility, having killed multiple Banished troops before being killed by the [[Jiralhanae]] brothers [[Tovarus]] and [[Hyperius]].{{Ref/Reuse|s9}} Sorel's body remained inside the Conservatory and was found on May 28 by [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]], who recovered his [[thruster pack]] module.{{Ref/Reuse|conservatory}}

==Equipment==
During the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]], Spartan Sorel wore the Mjolnir [[GEN3]] [[Mark VII]] armor, employing the [[ISR-class Mjolnir|ISR]] helmet, [[UA attachments|UA/Agathius]] shoulder pads, and UA/Type SA knee pads. He carried a thruster module, which was inherited by John-117.{{Ref/Reuse|conservatory}}
