T. Rymann

Corporal T. Rymann was a Non-commissioned officer in the UNSC Marine Corps and an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper who served during the Human-Covenant War. He was part of Alpha Team of the 2BN/3U as Bravo-21 with Bravo-22, S. Hartley.

Biography
He participated in the Battle of Sector Six during the Battle of Earth, covering his comrade as he retrieved what seemed to be the same Long Range Scanner that his partner, S. Hartley, used to track SPARTAN-117 on his descent to the planet's surface. Bravo-21 was almost killed by a Fuel Rod Cannon strike from a strafing Banshee flier. A Pelican dropped off a Warthog, prompting the ODSTs to make a run for it in the middle of an exposed area. Bravo-21 took the driver's seat while Bravo-22 had taken the passenger seat. As he drove away, S. Hartley was hit in the abdomen by a Spiker. Right after that, the Warthog crashed through a wall.

After driving down a highway to Sector Six, Bravo-21 made his way towards a squad of Marines as they were holding off numerous Jiralhanae. After arriving, he helped his comrade out of the Warthog as Corpsman R. Coney treated Bravo-22. He then moved towards a few Marines near cover. After listening to a sit-rep, he took a SRS99D-S2 AM Sniper Rifle and repelled a squad of Brutes attempting to flank the UNSC Marine position. He ordered the Marines to hold their position, as it was a vital location to their objective, which was to locate the Master Chief entering Earth's atmosphere in order to make a possible extraction for the SPARTAN.

His first two shots were immediate kills as the two Brutes fell dead. Right after firing a third round, T. Rymann heard a growl and turned to see that he was being attacked by a Jiralhanae Chieftain wielding a Gravity Hammer. After dropping the Sniper Rifle and dodging the first swing, Bravo-21 tried to flee as he avoided a Spike Grenade, which missed him and hits a nearby wall, then fell over a bump on the ground while facing the Brute Chieftain. However, he took his M6G out of his abdomen holster and got a single shot off with his Magnum. The Brute Chieftain swung again, striking him in the chest and knocking T. Rymann against a wall and spraying his blood against the cement. As he fell to the ground, injured, the Chieftain swung again, crushing Rymann's body with the hammer, forcing him to drop his M6G out of his hands while at the same time killing him.

The Chieftain who killed Rymann was killed himself when one of the retreating Marines blasted him with a rocket launcher. After his death, when the remaining soldiers retreated, his body was left out on the battlefield. It is unknown if it was retrieved or not, but it is highly probable that it was after the area was clear.
