Template:Character Infobox Anthony Madsen (service number 75283-56282-AM)[1] is a SPARTAN-IV supersoldier who served with Fireteam Majestic on the UNSC Infinity during the Second Battle of Requiem in early 2558.[2]
Biography
Anthony Madsen was born October 19, 2530 on New Llanelli. He served an undistinguished career as a Marine before being admitted into the SPARTAN-IV Program because of the recommendation of his father and grandfather, both beinggenerals in the Marine Corps.[1]
Sometime before February 8, 2558, Madsen and the rest of Fireteam Majestic, minus Gabriel Thorne, were deployed to the city of Rio de Janeiro to eliminate or detain former Covenant seeking asylum on Earth. In 2558 Fireteam Majestic was assigned to the UNSC Infinity.[3] After Infinity arrived at Requiem, Fireteams Crimson and Majestic were sent north of the UNSC's area of operations on Requiem in order to shut down Forerunner power generators. Upon reaching their location, both Crimson and Majestic had their long-range communications jammed by Forerunner jamming devices. After deactivating the jammers, their mission continued. Initiated by Palmer, the mission turned into a competition for the fireteams as to who could complete their mission objectives first. Majestic temporarily took the lead at first, but were eventually beaten.[4]
Sometime later, Fireteam Majestic was being engaged by Promethean Crawlers; they were eventually victorious with Madsen killing the last one. He started to complain about their ability to "pop up" anywhere, stating that it was an unfair advanage, when a Promethean Knight teleported into the area and shot him in the shoulder.[5] He quickly recovered, with his shields taking the blunt of the attack.
When Dr. Catherine Halsey was brought aboard the ship to examine the Forerunner artifact, he and DeMarco were assigned to guard her alongside Commander Palmer. On the way to the engine room, DeMarco questioned why they needed to guard an "old lady". Madsen informed him of Halsey's role in the SPARTAN-II program, calling her a "mad scientist" and that she kidnapped children to train them as soldiers, much to the disbelief of DeMarco. After the artifact reacted again as Halsey interfaced with the engine room controls, Madsen along with Palmer and DeMarco raised their weapons on Halsey, but eventually lowered them.[6]
Later, Madsen and the rest of Majestic were sent to recover the "Didact's Gift" from Galileo Base, Madsen complained that they never get they interesting jobs, all the while being Crimson's "delivery service", with Grant scolding at him for his seemingly incessant rants. Shortly after breaking cover, he and the rest of the team are pinned down by Covenant air support. DeMarco decided they should make a run for the Pelican, Madsen told him it would be suicide. Thorne quickly hijacked a low-flying Banshee and subsequently destroyed a nearby Phantom, allowing them escape with the artifact.[7]
After Thorne went missing the rest of Majestic were sent to go look for him in Requiem. They arrived just as Gek 'Lhar was about to kill Thorne, together with Dr. Glassman (who also went missing), after the two were ambushed by Gek. DeMarco killed the Elite and saved Thorne, with Madsen stating that they have been looking everywhere for him. Upon seeing Thorne give DeMarco an energy sword and Thorne retrieving Gek's personal active camouflage module for himself, Madsen decided to loot something for himself. He picked up a small device and activated it, revealing a map of Requiem, much to his displeasure.[8]
When the Pelican arrived for their evac, they were met by a life-size hologram of Captain Thomas Lasky, he asked them to rescue Dr. Halsey from Jul 'Mdama, who was abducted during the attack on Infinity. When they arrived at Halsey's location Madsen took position above the Elite guards and waited for Thorne to give the signal to attack. When he did, DeMarco enaged the Elites with his newly acquired energy sword, while Hoya, Grant, and Madsen attacked from above. Madsen and the rest of Majestic showed up to help Thorne just as Promethean knights translocated into the area and engaged them. Madsen used his sniper rifle to take out several knights in a row. Jul managed to escape with Halsey, just as Thorne and Palmer closed in on him.[9]
Sometime later, along with Commander Palmer, Majestic was ordered to deactivate one of the two slipspace artifacts still on Requiem, while Crimson deactivated the other. Before they left they witnessed the departure of the Covenant fleet fleeing Requiem. When Requiem began to move towards the local star Palmer hurried them toward the artifact.[10] Madsen and the others faced significant Covenant resistance in deactivating their device. Shortly after Crimson deactivated their artifact, Majestic eliminated the last of the Elites defending the last artifact and deactivated it. They evacuated and arrived aboard Infinity at the same time as Crimson, allowing Infinity to escape just in time.[11]
