Biography
Anthony Madsen was born October 19, 2530 on New Llanelli. He served an undistinguished career as a Marine before being admitted into the SPARTAN-IV Program because of the recommendation of his father and grandfather, both generals in the Marine Corps.

Sometime before February 8, 2558, Madsen and the rest of Fireteam Majestic, minus Gabriel Thorne, were deployed to Rio de Janeiro. In 2558 Fireteam Majestic was assigned to the. After Infinity arrived at Requiem, Fireteams Crimson and Majestic were sent north of the UNSC's area of operations on Requiem in order to shut down Forerunner power generators. Upon reaching their location, both Crimson and Majestic had their long-range communications jammed by Forerunner jamming devices. After deactivating the jammers, their mission continued. Initiated by Palmer, the mission turned into a competition for the fireteams as to who could complete their mission objectives first. Majestic temporarily took the lead at first, but were eventually beaten.

Sometime later, Fireteam Majestic was being engaged by Promethean Crawlers; they were eventually victorious with Madsen killing the last one. He started to complain about their ability to "pop up" anywhere, when a Promethean Knight teleported into the area and shot him in the shoulder.

Madsen recovered and was assigned to guard Dr. Catherine Halsey when she was brought aboard the ship. On the way to the engine room, DeMarco questioned why they needed to guard an "old lady". Madsen informed him of Halsey's role in the SPARTAN-II program, calling her a "mad scientist". After the artifact reacted again as Halsey interfaced with the engine room controls, Madsen along with Palmer and DeMarco raised their weapons on Halsey, but eventually lowered them.

Later, Madsen and the rest of Majestic were sent to recover the "Didact's Gift" from Galileo Base, Madsen complained that they never get they interesting jobs, they are then pinned down by Covenant air support. Grant yelled at him about his previous comment, he said not to worry. DeMarco decided they should make a run for the Pelican, Madsen told him it would be suicide. Thorne quickly hijacked a low-flying Banshee and subsequently destroyed a nearby Phantom, allowing them escape with the artifact.

After Thorne went missing the rest of Majestic go looking for him. They arrived just as Gek 'Lhar was about to kill Thorne, DeMarco killed the Elite and saved Thorne, Madsen yelled that they have been looking everywhere for him. Upon seeing Thorne give DeMarco an energy sword and Thorne getting Gek's active camouflage module for himself, Madsen decided to get something for himself. He picked up a small device and activated it, revealing a map of Requiem, much to his displeasure.

A short while later, they were attacked by Covenant forces. When the Pelican arrived for evac Madsen told the others it was time to go, they were met by a life-size hologram of Captain Thomas Lasky, he asked them to rescue Dr. Halsey from Jul 'Mdama. When they arrived at Halsey's location Madsen took position above the Elite guards and waited for Thorne to signal to attack. When he did DeMarco attacked with his energy sword, while Hoya, Grant, and Madsen attacked from above. Madsen and the rest of Majestic showed up to help Thorne just as Promethean knights translocated into the area and engaged them. Madsen used his sniper rifle to take out several knights in a row. Jul managed to escape with Halsey, just as Thorne and Palmer closed in on him.

Sometime later, along with Commander Palmer, Majestic was ordered to deactivate one of the two slipspace artifacts still on Requiem, while Crimson deactivated the other. Before they left they witnessed the departure of the Covenant fleet. When Requiem began to move towards the local star Palmer hurried them toward the artifact. Madsen and the others faced significant Covenant resistance in deactivating their device. Shortly after Crimson deactivated their artifact, Majestic eliminated the last of the Elites defending the last artifact and deactivated it. They evacuated and arrived aboard Infinity at the same time as Crimson, allowing Infinity to escape just in time.
