Template:New Content Template:Character Infobox Gabriel Thorne (service number 83920-91083-GT)[1] is a SPARTAN-IV supersoldier and a member of the UNSC Infinity's Spartan contingent. During the Requiem campaign in February 2558, Thorne was assigned to Fireteam Majestic as their new member.[2]
Biography
Thorne grew up in New Phoenix.[3] Originally a soldier in the UNSC Army, he volunteered for the SPARTAN-IV Program after his family and friends were killed in the Didact's attack on the city.[3] In 2558 Fireteam Majestic was deployed to the UNSC Infinity.[4] Sometime later, Fireteams Crimson and Majestic were sent north of the UNSC's area of operations in Requiem in order to shut down Forerunner power generators. Upon reaching their location, both Crimson and Majestic had their long-range communications jammed by Forerunner jamming devices. When DeMarco questioned why Infinity command could not hear him, Thorne joked they were probably ignoring him. After deactivating the jammers, their mission continued. Initiated by Commander Sarah Palmer, the mission became a competition for the fireteams to see who could complete their mission objectives first. Majestic took the lead at first, but were ultimately bested by Crimson.[4]
Sometime later, Fireteam Majestic was being engaged by multiple Promethean Crawlers. Madsen started complaining about the Prometheans' ability to "pop up" anywhere, when a Promethean Knight translocated into the area and shot Madsen in the shoulder. Several others then translocated in the area and engaged Majestic. They survived the fight and exfiled back to Infinity.[5]
Thorne later volunteered to guard Catherine Halsey while she worked on the Requiem translocation artifact. He questioned her about the use of children for the SPARTAN-II Program. He later told her why he joined the SPARTAN-IVs, expressing his guilt that he wasn't able to do anything to save his family and friends during the New Phoenix incident. When asked about the Prometheans he told Dr. Halsey they were nothing but trouble.[3]
Sometime during the operation in recovering the "Didact's Gift" from Galileo Base, Majestic was pinned down due to Covenant air support. With the base air defenses offline, Thorne quickly hijacked a Banshee and destroyed a nearby Phantom, allowing the Fireteam to return to the Infinity. As the device was being examined by Dr. Halsey, the Didact's Gift gave off an energy burst, it sent pictures of New Phoenix throughout the monitors within the room, which Thorne quickly recognized. He noticed that the translocation artifact appeared in one of the images; curious, he left the laboratory and later approached the artifact. Wondering how the artifact could have been present at New Phoenix prior to its discovery, Thorne touched it and was unexpectedly translocated to a Forerunner structure somewhere in Requiem, where he was immediately surrounded by Sangheili Storm forces.[3]
Personality
Even before becoming a Spartan, Thorne had a strong sense of responsibility; he believed he could have somehow prevented the deaths of his loved ones in New Phoenix.[6] After his re-enlistment, Thorne was determined to make sure that there would be history for the SPARTAN Program, as proven in a journal entry he had written and his curiosity of the original Spartans.[7]
Equipment
Thorne wears the Recruit variant of the MJOLNIR GEN2 armor, and carries an MA5D ICWS.
