- "I'm not gonna lie to you, Lieutenant. You're stepping into some shoes the rest of the squad would rather leave unfilled."
- — Carter-A259 to SPARTAN-B312
Thom-293 was a SPARTAN-III commando and a former member of Noble Team during the Human-Covenant War. He was killed by Covenant forces on April 22, 2552.[1]
Both Catherine-B320 and Carter-A259 took responsibility for Thom's death, unable to admit that his death was his own fault. During the mission, he had chosen to go solo and attack Covenant forces rather than wait for reinforcements.[1] He was replaced by SPARTAN-B312, another SPARTAN-III.
Trivia
- His name and service tag seem to be a reference to Tom-B292, another SPARTAN-III.
- The fact that Thom-293 was replaced by SPARTAN-B312 as Noble Six can be considered ironic, as SPARTAN-B312, like Thom, has a history of "lone wolf" actions.
Sources
- ^ a b Bungie.net: Kat-B320 Personnel Profile - Eventually I hope to be able to get it through their thick Spartan skulls that Thom is dead because he chose to pursue a group of enemy combatants ON HIS OWN rather than wait for backup.
