Template:Ratings Template:SPARTAN Infobox 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 his 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 Commando.

Trivia

  • His name and service tag seem to be a reference to Tom-B292, another Spartan III.
  • He was replaced by Spartan-B312, the new noble six. This is ironic because Thom died becuse he went solo against a group of enemies, and Spartan-B312 was noted in the Spike 2009 VGA trailer thet he has a history of "lone wolf" actions.
