Notably, Thorne was one of the few people who treated Halsey with respect, knocking on the door of her quarters and kindly requesting her to join him instead of just barging in like she stated everyone else did.<ref name="hand"/> In combat, Thorne has shown creativity and innovation. For example, he hijacked a [[Type-26 Banshee]] during the [[Requiem Campaign]]—despite fireteam leader [[Paul DeMarco]]'s orders—to help eliminate surrounding Covenant forces.<ref name="mori"/> Later in the campaign, used [[Henry Glassman|Doctor Henry Glassman]]'s explosive vest to kill a group of charging [[Sangheili Storm]] when Thorne realized the vest was about to explode. Thorne is also very skilled in combat. He was able to defeat several Sangheili warriors after he was teleported to [[the Cauldron]] despite being unarmed, before being knocked unconscious.<ref name="scattered"/> During his encounter with [[Gek 'Lhar]], he was temporarily able to hold his own against the assassin despite being ambushed and Sangheili's strength.<ref name="expendable"/> | ||
Thorne was close with his family and felt guilty that he was unable to prevent any of their deaths. When he discovered that the [[Promethean]]s that he was battling on [[Requiem]] contained the essences of those composed in New Phoenix, he stormed out of the room in anger.<ref name="mori"/> Thorne is close friends with fellow fireteam member [[Tedra Grant]] and the two are comfortable confiding in each other. She accompanied him to New Phoenix's Rebirth ceremony and encouraged him to honor his family in memory, instead of feeling responsible for their deaths.<ref name="Escalation #7"/> Thorne also formed a bond of sorts with DeMarco after the latter killed Gek. Prior to the event, the two rarely spoke and Thorne seemed to hold little respect for DeMarco's leadership capabilities.<ref name="challenge"/> After Thorne became the commander of Fireteam Majestic, [[Anthony Madsen]] was disrespectful of Thorne to some extent, likely grieving over DeMarco's recent death. Although he initially lashed out on Thorne during a training exercise in a fit of rage over DeMarco's death, Madsen seemingly came to respect Thorne's leadership abilities.<ref name="Escalation #4"/> Madsen did later invite Thorne to a poker game in competition to win Gek 'Lhar's energy sword that DeMarco had taken from him on Requiem. Thorne has also developed a friendship with Spartan [[Naiya Ray]].<ref name="HE11"/> | Thorne was close with his family and felt guilty that he was unable to prevent any of their deaths.
