== Biography ==
=== Early Life ===
Theodore Rhodes was born on October 7th, 2537, on Alluvion, to parents Arthur and Martha Rose with sister who was much older named Anna, who was fifteen at the time of his birth. Theo was traumatized at the age of four, when he watched his family get slaughtered by Brutes. His sister Anna, distracted the Brutes, giving Theo enough time to hide. He watched his sister get ripped apart by the Brutes, inciting his everlasting hatred toward them. He would later name his shotgun 'Anna' in her memory. Her sacrifice would allow Theo to escape to the UNSC, who would get him off Alluvion before the glassing of the planet.
=== New Beginnings ===
Theo was brought to Reach where he was put into an orphanage for war orphaned children, but would enjoy watching the military buildings near the orphanage, where he would first lay eyes on a Spartan, and where he would vow that he would do what ever he could do in order to avenge his family. In the years following, when the recruitment for Gamma Company began, Theo's location, genes, and history, made him a prime target for recruitment. When the ONI recruiter walked into the orphanage and made his way over to the boy, Theo immediately said "yes", even before the agent opened his mouth. 
=== Training ===
In 2544, when shipped off to Camp Curahee, on , where Trainee-G091 was assigned to Team Bayonet. He immediately became best friends with Trainee-G076, both of which developed a dislike toward Trainee-G036 for his attitude toward the team. During his time in training, Trainee-G091 developed a liking for close range weapons, specifically the shotgun.

Drug 	Description 	Effect
8942-LQ99 	"carbide ceramic ossification catalyst" drug. 	Skeletons become virtually unbreakable, allowing survival in harder impacts.
88005-MX77	"fibroid muscular protein complex" drug. 	Increased density of individual's muscles, greatly enhancing physical strength.
88947-OP24	"retina-inversion stabilizer" drug. 	Color sharpness is significantly improved upon, and night vision is heightened.
87556-UD61	"improved colloidal neural disunification solution" drug.	Greatly improves the individual's reaction time, decreasing the time taken to react by 300%; "Spartan time".
Additionally, Kurt Ambrose, who was upset with the loss of both of his previous two companies added the following mutagens to give the Gammas a better chance of survival.
Drug 	Description 	Effect
009762-OO	Neural-altering non-carcinogenic mutagen.	Alters key regions in the individual's frontal lobe to enhance aggressive response, making the animal part of the brain more accessible in times of stress. This allows the subject access to enormous reserves of strength and endurance and enables them to remain fighting even under the influence of a wide systemic shock that would be instantly fatal to a normal human. Depresses higher reason centers of the brain over time; requires regular doses of 009127-PX and 009927-DG to be taken to avoid uncontrollable aggression.
009127-PX	cyclodexione-4, bipolar integration drug 	Counters the effects of 009762-OO.
009927-DG	miso-olanzapine 	Counters the psychological effects of 009762-OO.

==Human-Covenant War==
Main Article: 
While enroute to report to Beta-5 Division Ordnance Testing Facility to receive their Mark V MJOLNIR Armor, Team Bayonet, only equipped with the Mk II SPI Armor and MA5K Carbines, were redeployed to Mombasa. 
===Battle of Earth===
Main Article: 
====Battle of Mombasa====
Main Article: 
Team Bayonet, now deployed in Kenya, were tasked with searching for, rescuing, and evacuating any civilians still within the city. Along with an ODST fireteam, Team Bayonet would first move to establish an evacuation point atop a hospital, fighting Covenant through the building. Team Bayonet would fight further Covenant as they moved through the city to find civilians, but would avoid any serious heavy combat.
====Attack on Sydney====
Main Article: 
The following day, Team Bayonet was brought to the Beta-5 Division Ordnance Testing Facility, being issued Mjolnir Mark V, with every Spartan adding compatible variations to their armor.
Equipped with their new armor, the Spartan team was put on stand-by. After about an hour on stand-by, HIGHCOM launched a request for a Spartan team to their headquarters at HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6, in fear of a recent Covenant attack on the Capital of Earth, Sydney. Team Bayonet would leave immediately, taking jet packs and deploying via Pelican jump at around three thousand feet. Upon landing just outside the facility, the Spartans immediately began to take fire, moving to establish a perimeter around the Facility, returning fire. As more and more forces began to besiege Team Bayonet, Dan would notice a Jiralhanae War Chieftain in the rear directing the assault. He ordered Tyler-G278 to target the War Chieftain, killing him with a single round, causing the assault to falter and fail. Team Bayonet would then lead a few platoons of Marines to drive out the remaining Covenant forces from Sydney, leaving HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6 completely untouched, unlike the Spartans who were all injured in the fight in one capacity or another.
For their actions in both Mombasa and Sydney, Team Bayonet were all given Bronze Stars with "V" devices, and Purple Hearts. Dan-G076 would be given a Silver Star in place of a Bronze Star, as his leadership allowed both missions to be completed without significant casualties to his team or the teams supporting him. Additionally, Team Bayonet would be awarded the Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation for their actions, and following the wars end, would be awarded the Presidential Naval and Marine Unit Citation after review of the mission.
====Battle of Cleveland====
Main Article: 
Team Bayonet would be kept in Sydney, repelling a few more Covenant attempts to attack the city. After about a month, an attack on Cleveland, Ohio began and Team Bayonet would be spun up, deployed again in support of the defense of the city. Once again, deploying from the rear of a Pelican and jumping into the city, Team Bayonet would link up a group of Marines who held a strongpoint near a bridge, establishing an LZ for civilian evacuation. Team Bayonet was sent into the city to hunt down and attempt to drive the Covenant out of the city, rescuing civilians if possible. While out hunting, Bayonet came upon a small park, which had been turned into a communications relay and forward command outpost, containing a Jiralhanae Chieftain, two Jiralhanae Captain Majors, four Jiralhanae Majors, twelve Jiralhanae Minors, three Lekgolo, and a large collection of Unggoy and Kig-Yar. Establishing a battle plan to launch an assault on the command post, Team Bayonet sprung into action. Theo made an attempt to take on the Chieftain, receiving a powerful Gravity Hammer swing directly to his chest, sending him twelve feet in the air, breaking three ribs, his collarbone and rupturing his chest armor. Leaving the Spartan severely injured and in a pile on the ground. 
Theo would be awarded a Purple Heart after waking up in Korea, later learning of Dan's actions in Cleveland, along with Tom and Alex's actions in Voi.
==Post-Human Covenant War==
After leaving medical in January of 2553, Theo-G091 would rejoin Team Bayonet, going on missions against smaller Covenant groups and Insurrectionists. By the end of 2553, Team Bayonet would lose Dan-G076 and Tyler-G278 to the , leaving Tom-G036 in charge of the now three Spartan team. A few months after Tom assumed command, Team Bayonet would join the newly formed , a decision which Theo very much disliked. Now a Spartan-IV trainer, Theo hated his job, often wishing he could still be fighting, although he understood how important his mission was. Team Bayonet was kept in that role until 2555 when they were moved back to the Infinity, again to further train the Spartan-IVs.
===Battle of Requiem===
Main Article: 
When the was pulled into the of , Theo and Team Bayonet were deployed in defense of the ship. Theo disliked the idea of Tom leading Team Bayonet into battle, which he saw as Dan's job, which Tom couldn't fill as hard as he tried. The team performed moderately, despite only being at three-fifths power. About a month after the battle, Tyler returned to the team, following her release from ONI.
===Requiem Campaign===
Main Article: 
In January, 2558, Dan returned from ONI, retaking control of Team Bayonet, to which Theo was quite relieved after three years under Tom. A month after S-G076 returned, the Requiem Campaign began, and Team Bayonet was to help lead Spartan-IV fireteams on the shield world. During the campaign, Theo would often be seen fearlessly attacking Promethean Knights, with little concern for himself, at one point saving a Spartan-IV from two. Theo would rack up 143 total kills during the campaign, second most among Team Bayonet. 
==Created Crisis==
Main Article: 
When the Created Conflict started up, Team Bayonet was aboard the Infinity. Fearing that Freyja may join Cortana, Dan immediately began talks with his AI, who ensured of him of her loyalty to Team Bayonet and the UNSC.

On December 12th, 2559, when the began to pour aboard the UNSC Infinity, Team Bayonet took it upon themselves to defend and then evacuate the Infinity's medical bays following order to abandon ship. While evacuating the medical bays, Theo volunteered to cover Team Bayonet's evacuation to the hangar bay. Dan-G076 would soon after order Theo to evacuate as well, and on his approach to the hangar, as their Pelican was about to launch, Team Bayonet would watch helplessly as Theo was struck with a , before being impaled to death by a . He died saving the lives of the medical personnel of the UNSC Infinity and his Spartan-III team, Team Bayonet
== Traits and Personality==
Theo-G091 had a tendency to get very angry, very quickly. He was also the "tough guy" of Team Bayonet, refusing to put up with anyone else's attitude or misgivings. He enjoyed giving people a hard time, specifically new Spartan-IVs and newly recruited Marines. He maintained a deep hatred toward Brutes, for what they did to his family, this trauma caused him to become hard, often resenting others who he doesn't consider on the same level as him. He regarded Dan as what he considered, the ideal leader, and would follow him into hell. Despite his hard guy attitude and resentment toward Tom, he wass incredibly loyal, and while he doesn't mention it to anyone else, he considered Team Bayonet as his closest friends, and was willingly die for any of them, even Tom. He maintained a soft spot for both Tyler and Alex, who he viewed almost as little sisters.
