Tom-B292

Biography
Tom was a Spartan-III Supersoldier. Orphaned by the Covenant when his homeworld was glassed, he joined the Spartan-III program at age six in 2539 in order to get revenge.

He was trained by Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose for six years. Tom, along with Lucy-B091, Adam-B004 and Min-B174, became "Team Foxtrot," one of the organized Spartan-III combat teams.

They were sent on Operation: TORPEDO when they were only 12 years old; the young Spartans were ordered to destroy a Covenant refinery on Pegasi Delta. As the Spartans faced superior enemy forces, they were wiped out, but Fireteam Foxtrot managed to reach the inside of the refinery. Only Lucy-B091 and Tom-B292 survived the fight.

He returned to Onyx where he helped to train the Spartan-III Gamma Company alongside Lucy, Senior Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez, and Kurt until the year 2552 when the Battle of Onyx occurred. He fought valiantly alongside his fellow Spartans to defend the shield world. When ordered by Lieutenant Commander Ambrose to enter, he refused saying that he would be court martialed before he would leave Kurt's side. Of course, Kurt wouldn't take no for an answer and knocked him out with a blow to the underside of his helmet. He and Lucy were the last Spartans to leave the battle, surviving through Kurt's sacrifice. At most recent knowledge he is alive inside the core, presumably safe from further attacks.
