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 served in the five-member Fireteam Majestic.[2]
Biography
Thorne grew up in New Phoenix.[3] Originally a soldier in the army, he enlisted in the SPARTAN-IVs 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 on 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, 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 Promethean Crawlers. Madsen started complaining about the Prometheans' ability to "pop up" anywhere, when a Promethean Knight teleported into the area and shot Madsen in the shoulder. Two others then teleported in 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 why she would use children for the SPARTAN-IIs. 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 regarding the Didact's Gift, Majestic was pinned down due to Covenant air support. Thorne hijacked a Banshee, allowing the Fireteam to return to the Infinity. When the Didact's Gift gave off an energy burst, it sent pictures of New Phoenix throughout the monitors, which Thorne recognized. He noticed that the translocation artifact appeared in one of the images; curious, he left the laboratory and approached the translocation artifact. Wondering how the artifact could have been present at New Phoenix, Thorne touched it and was translocated somewhere on Requiem, where he was immediately captured by Sangheili forces and subsequently went missing.[3]
