==Biography==
During a battle on an unknown colony world on [[2552#April|April 22, 2552]], Thom participated in an operation put together by [[Catherine-B320]]<ref name="Bnet"/> to destroy a [[CCS-class Battlecruiser]] holding position above a city. However, Kat, who carried the [[Medium Fusion Destructive Device|MFDD nuke]] intended to destroy the Covenant ship, was incapacitated while on her way to the objective. 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 without waiting for his teammates. 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.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''[[Deliver Hope]]'' trailer</ref><ref name="gaf">[http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=23004964&postcount=5255 '''NeoGaf''': ''View Single Post'' - 5255]</ref>
