Thomas Koepke

Thomas Koepke was a police constable on the colony world of. Formerly a university student, he was forced to drop out after losing his savings and joined the Talitsa Public Safety Authority. He quickly became embroiled in the rampant corruption throughout the police force and was used as little more than extra muscle for the Syndicate officials who rule the planet from the shadows. Thomas's criminal activities brought him face to face with the vigilante known as "The Renegade" on several occasions and frequently saw the hapless constable hospitalized for his trouble. Upon meeting Karina Larina and several other Renegade supporters Thomas began to aspire to becoming more than a criminal accomplice and started feeding the Renegade intelligence on the Syndicate's movements. After Insurrectionist forces led by Redmond Venter seized control of Talitsa Thomas was forcibly conscripted into the rebel forces along with the rest of the local authorities. His time as an Insurrectionist was cut short when a UNSC counterattack destroyed Venter's forces. Thomas was one of the few rebels to survive the fighting.
