Biography
Early life
Born on Alluvion in 2528, Horvath fled with his family when the Covenant laid siege to the vibrant world. Horvath enlisted in the UNSC and was eventually accepted into the ranks of the ODST. However, an equipment failure on his first live jump left him with a shattered spine, but an even stronger resolve. After intense physical therapy programs, Horvath saw the Spartan branch as an opportunity to be reborn, leveraging the program's extensive augmentation suite to become more than he ever dreamed of. Horvath went on to serve as part of Fireteam Intrepid.[2]
Post-War years
Throughout the Post-Covenant War conflicts between 2557 and 2559, Fireteam Intrepid, presumably including Tomas Horvath, had worked alongside John-117 and Blue Team on numerous occasions. They were considered one of the best Spartan outfits on the UNSC Infinity.[3]
Reach
- Main article: Operation: WOLFE
In October 2559, Fireteam Intrepid, presumably including Horvath, was deployed alongside Fireteam Taurus, assigned to aid Commander Sarah Palmer in securing nuclear weapons in possession of the Viery Militia toward the end of the Battle of New Mohács.[3]
Installation 07
- Main article: Battle for Zeta Halo
On December 12, 2559, Spartan Tomas Horvath was onboard UNSC Infinity when it was ambushed by Banished forces upon arrival at Installation 07. As the Infinity fell to the Banished assault, Captain Thomas Lasky was evacuated from the ship, and Spartan Hudson Griffin ordered all Spartans to evacuate.[4] Horvath, along with other members of his fireteam, left the ship on drop pods. Fireteam Intrepid landed in a sector of the ring occupied by the Banished, and entered battle upon landfall.[5]
On the next day, Fireteam Intrepid was in a skirmish against the Banished when an explosion on the ring caused a fracture on its surface. Amidst the chaos, Horvath was separated from his fireteam, and the explosion disabled his armor systems.[6] Horvath was stranded on a fragment of the ring, where he met the Jiralhanae Gorian. The two formed a truce until they could escape the fragment.[7]

For the next six months, Horvath remained alone on the ring, avoiding Banished troops while attempting to contact other UNSC forces.[8][9]
On May 14, Horvath finally linked up with UNSC forces led by Spartan Nina Kovan and joined their mission to use one of Zeta Halo's beacon towers to broadcast the ring's location to UNSC space in the hopes of summoning reinforcements. During the battle that followed, Horvath faced off against Gorian, ultimately killing the Bloodstar with an energy sword provided to him earlier by Erik Bender. However, the two fell onto a translocation pad and were teleported away just before the pad was destroyed by Banished fire, preventing Horvath's return or the others from following him or discovering his location.[10] Horvath was teleported to a partially collapsed mountain facility somewhere very far from the beacon where he shoved Gorian's body off of the mountain. Horvath then collapsed from his injuries and spent the next day comatose - half from exhaustion - before coming to again. Only Horvath's armor and Spartan augmentations kept from dying of exposure during this time.[11]
Horvath then proceeded to spend nearly a week slowly navigating the broken, snowy peaks and then a few more days descending the mountainside. To his surprise, Horvath found the wreckage of one of the Infinity's shuttles and, although there were no survivors, he recovered a week's worth of water, rations and weapons.[11]
On May 26, 2560, Horvath issued a final transmission, announcing that he would be heading away from Banished territory to search for survivors. Having had no contact with any UNSC personnel, he made an open plea to the Master Chief that they need him now more than ever.[11][12]
Equipment
During the Battle for Installation 07, Spartan Horvath wore the Mjolnir GEN3 Mark VII armor and was equipped with the Anubis helmet, UA/Castus shoulder pads, and UA/Type SA knee pads.[13] During the Battle of the Beacon Tower, Horvath wielded a Type-1 energy sword that was provided to him by Erik Bender.[10]
