Intern (Doom)

The Intern is an unnamed minor supporting character in Doom Eternal and its DLCs. He is an intern scientist of the Armored Response Coalition (ARC), and a fan of the Doom Slayer, being one of the few humans who does not fear him. He is bald, and wears a light green ARC jumpsuit and black glasses.
The Intern was voiced by A.J. LoCasio, who also voiced some Night Sentinels. After the credits of The Ancient Gods Part 2, the Intern broke the 4th wall to give id Software's thanks to the players.
==Biography==
=== Past ===
Little is known of the Intern's past, only that he survived the demonic invasion of Earth in 2151, which was led by the extradimensional Maykrs, and joined the newly-formed Armored Response Coalition, where he served as an intern scientist. He was present in the ARC Complex, the organization's headquarters, where he worked alongside Samuel Hayden, the founder of the ARC, in researching and developing weapons to fight the demons. While Hayden lead humanity in a defense against the demons, even using an artifact known as the Demonic Crucible to power human weapons, the hordes of Hell eventually overran most ARC forces. Hayden eventually told the scientists, including the Intern, that the Doom Slayer may soon arrive on Earth seeking the Crucible, and the Intern presumably heard of the Slayer's exploits across Earth upon his return, gaining a quickly growing admiration for the immortal marine. However, in a failed counteroffensive against a massive demonic advance, Samuel Hayden's cybernetic body was critically damaged. The Intern remained in the facility with other scientists who guarded the Demonic Crucible and Hayden's body.

Soon, the demons launched a direct assault on the ARC Complex, breaching its defenses and killing all personnel in their way, but the Intern remained with Hayden and the Crucible in the top floor of the main tower, where the scientists found they were unable to repair Hayden, who was in actuality a renegade Maykr whose mind had been transferred to a human body, and his cybernetics were Maykr technology, thus practically alien compared ARC technology. The Doom Slayer then arrived, quickly clearing the facility of demons and making his way to the central tower. When the Slayer arrived on the top floor, he was met with the Intern, who was excited to meet him, letting him take the Crucible and saying how he was honored to finally be face-to-face with him, before comically tripping over a railing. The Slayer then entered the next room to retrieve Hayden himself, where the Intern tried to explain that he needed to be extracted very carefully, only for the Slayer to rip Hayden out of his stasis tube. Then, a demon known as a Marauder teleported into the room, scaring off the Intern and all ARC personnel remaining. The Intern then managed to escape the facility and went to the ARC's mobile headquarters aboard a massive aircraft carrier.
===DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods Part 1===
The Intern remained on the carrier when the Doom Slayer stopped the invasion, the ARC beginning to clear remaining demons off of Earth. The Doom Slayer then arrived on the carrier to find the body of a Maykr Seraph held in an overrun ARC facility, with the Intern using the ship's technology to teleport the Slayer to the facility. When the Slayer retrieved the Seraph, it was discovered that it was actually Samuel's original body, and he was truly known as Samur, and his body was deteriorating. From then on, the Intern acted as the Slayer's guide, remaining on the comms with the Slayer as he traveled through the blood swamps of Hell to retrieve the Life Sphere of an entity known as The Father, who could save Samur's body from transfiguring into a monster. However, the Doom Slayer refused to let any being of such power exist anymore, as The Father was the previous ruler of the Maykrs, and instead destroyed the Life Sphere, reducing The Father to an incorporeal presence, and retrieved that of Davoth, the original Dark Lord of Hell, returning to the carrier with it. Upon seeing the Life Sphere of Davoth, the ARC personnel fled, except for the Intern, who quickly deduced that the Slayer meant to revive Davoth into a physical form, which would trap his essence in one body that could then be killed and end Hell's threat forever. As such, he teleported the Slayer to the Equestrian Holt of Urdak, where the Slayer revived Davoth, finding that Davoth was a dark reflection of himself.
===DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods Part 2===
The Intern, staying on the carrier, remained in contact with the Slayer as he chased Davoth across worlds to the Hell city of Immora, discovering ancient secrets of the Maykrs and the planet Argent D'Nur, where the Slayer had served as a Night Sentinel, such as how the crystalline asteroid-like World Spear that spawned all life on Argent D'Nur was actually a spaceship, and how Davoth was the actual creator of the Maykrs, and that Hell used to be a seemingly perfect realm known as Jekkad. During the Slayer's assault on Immora, where he was joined by the last armies of Night Sentinels, the Intern remained in contact with him up until he reached Davoth's palace, where the Intern lost connection with the Slayer. The Slayer eventually killed Davoth, and Hell's power collapsed in on itself, all demons outside of Hell being instantly destroyed. The Intern presumably remained with the ARC to rebuild Earth.
