Thom Shephard

Tech Chief Thom Shephard was a human Engineering Technician for the UNSC aboard the UNSC cruiser Pillar of Autumn in 2552. He, along with Tech Officer Sam Marcus, unsealed the Master Chief from the Cryo-chamber at the beginning of Halo: Combat Evolved. He runs the Chief through several diagnostics and tests his MJOLNIR armor. Soon after, Captain Keyes calls the Chief to the bridge of the ship. A squad of Elites enter the control center of Cryo-B, killing Sam. Thom then tells the Chief to follow him to the bridge and rushes out the door, where he is killed by a conduit explosion in the wall.
