Thom was orphaned in the early years of the [[Human-Covenant War]] when the Covenant [[Glassing|glassed]] his homeworld. He was identified as a potential candidate for the first class of the SPARTAN-III program at a young age and, after "volunteering" for the program, was taken to the classified world [[Onyx]] for training under [[Lieutenant]] [[Kurt Ambrose]] and [[UNSC rank structure|SCPO]] [[Franklin Mendez]] in late [[2531]]. Thom was identified by Ambrose and Mendez as one of a handful of exceptional specimens within the [[SPARTAN-III Alpha Company]] and was extracted from the group before the disastrous [[Operation: PROMETHEUS]]. He and a small number of other Spartans were given [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] and were assigned to smaller special operations units, eventually [[NOBLE Team]].<ref>[http:// | Thom was orphaned in the early years of the [[Human-Covenant War]] when the Covenant [[Glassing|glassed]] his homeworld.

During [[Battle of Fumirole]] on [[2552#April|April 22, 2552]], Thom participated in an operation put together by [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Kat-B320]]<ref name="Bnet"/> to destroy a {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} maintaining position above a city.

Thom was the first to arrive to where Kat was wounded, picking up the nuke for her and using his [[Portable jump-jet|jetpack]] to fly into the battlecruiser's gravity lift. Once inside, he threw the nuke into a [[Hangar bay|hangar]] and attempted to escape the ship before it went off, without success. The nuke detonated before Thom could safely make it out, destroying the ship and killing him.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''Deliver Hope'' trailer</ref><ref>[http:// | Thom was the first to arrive to where Kat was wounded, picking up the nuke for her and using his [[Portable jump-jet|jetpack]] to fly into the battlecruiser's gravity lift.
