Biography
During a battle on an unknown colony world on April 22, 2552, Thom participated in an operation put together by Catherine-B320[1] to destroy a CCS-class Battlecruiser holding position above a city. However, Kat, who carried the MDFF nuke intended to destroy the Covenant ship, was incapacitated while on her way to the ship. Thom was the first to arrive to where Kat was lying, and he immediately picked up the nuke and used a jetpack to fly into the cruiser. Once inside, he threw the MDFF into a hangar bay and tried to escape before it went off, without success. The nuke detonated before Thom could safely make it out, destroying the cruiser but killing Thom in the process.[2][3]
Both Catherine-B320 and Carter-A259 took responsibility for Thom's death, unable to admit that his death was his own fault. The team's superior, Colonel Urban Holland, asserted that Thom died because he chose to go solo and attack Covenant forces on his own instead of waiting for backup.[1] Thom was replaced in Noble Team by SPARTAN-B312, another SPARTAN-III.
