While Thom was kept nominally in canon via his depiction in ''[[Deliver Hope]]'' he remained outside of the spotlight for over a decade except for a brief mention by [[Catalog]] confirming his service tag of A293 - something first associated with the [[license plate Easter eggs]] in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. In ''ODST'', the license plate "''KNT 293T''" was long assumed to stand for "Thom-293, Noble Team". Catalog confirmed his tag several years later in addition to identifying him as a member of Alpha Company.{{Ref/Reuse|catalog}}

Thom was given his first major spotlight since his introduction in ''Deliver Hope'' in [[2023]], in the [[Noble Intention]] event for ''[[Halo Infinite]]''. The event features an [[Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|armour kit]] based on Thom's original concept art (alongside one for Rosenda), with the original concept art colouration as opposed to the grey-white suit depicted in the live action trailer.{{Ref/Reuse|kitdescription}} The ''[[Winter Contention]]'' short story released to celebrate the event centred on Rosenda and Thom, and fleshed out their characters and history with NOBLE team.{{Ref/Reuse|WC}}

While Thom's appearance in ''Halo Infinite'' and ''Winter Contention'' is based on his original armour design, both iterations remain fully-canon, with [[Alex Wakeford]] later clarifying that they are simply the result of Thom changing his suit between missions.{{Ref/Reuse|Colours}}
