Tom-B292 is a SPARTAN-III Supersoldier. Orphaned by the Covenant when his homeworld was glassed, he joined the SPARTAN-III program at age six in 2539 in order to get revenge.

Biography

He was trained by Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose and Senior Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez for six years. Tom, along with Lucy-B091, Adam-B004 and Min-B174, became "Team Foxtrot,"^[2] one of the organized Spartan-III combat teams.

Operation: TORPEDO

Main article: Operation: TORPEDO

They were sent on Operation: TORPEDO when they were only 12 years old; the young Spartans were ordered to destroy a Covenant refinery on Pegasi Delta. As the Spartans faced superior enemy forces, they were wiped out, but Fireteam Foxtrot managed to reach the inside of the refinery. Only Lucy-B091 and Tom-B292 survived the fight.^[3]

Battle of Onyx

Main article: Battle of Onyx

Despite Colonel Ackerson's wish to have Tom for his own private operations ^[4], Tom returned to Onyx, where he helped to train the Spartan-III Gamma Company alongside Lucy, Chief Mendez, and Kurt until the year 2552 when the Battle of Onyx occurred. He fought valiantly alongside his fellow Spartans to defend the shield world. When ordered by Lieutenant Commander Ambrose to enter the rift to the shield world, he refused saying that he would be court-martialed before he would leave Kurt's side. Kurt then knocked him out with a blow to the underside of his helmet and ordered Lucy to take the unconscious Spartan with her into the shield world. He and Lucy were the last Spartans to leave the battle, surviving through Kurt's sacrifice. At most recent knowledge, he is alive inside the core, presumably safe from further attacks.

Inside the Shield World

After recovering from Kurt's blow, which left him with a bruise on his chin, Tom joined the rest of the surviviors in the reconnaissance of the shield world. He was searched the area with Kelly-087, Olivia, Dr. Halsey and Chief Mendez.^[5] While they were searching they found several alien animals. Later, Mendez and Halsey had a discussion about the Spartans, when suddenly a flying object swooped down on them, Tom was nearest to her and tackled her to the ground to protect her.^[6] After the Kelly said it was okay, Tom helped Halsey up, the object turned out to be a small cylinder, before anyone could catch it, it flew off. When Halsey noticed his bruise, he reaffirmed how he wouldn't have left Kurt-051 to fight on his own.^[7]
