The Marathon Security Officer, perhaps properly known as Mjolnir Recon Number 54, is the protagonist of the Marathon series.

Bio[edit | edit source]

As his name implies, the security officer upholds law and order aboard the Marathon - a massive, multi-generational colony ship built into and around Mars' second moon Deimos. His job becomes a whole lot harder when the resident AI Durandal goes batshit because its processing power is wasted on operating automated doors, and manipulates an alien races called Pfhor to attack the ship.

While it is never stated directly, in-game terminals heavily suggest the security's superhuman resilience and power stems to him being an unwitting battleroid - a type of cyborg originally created from the corpses of deceased soldiers centuries ago before being put into stasis.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

The Marathon Security Officer debuted in 8chanmania XX, forming a tag team with Doomguy. They went off to an impressive start by wrecking Serious Sam and an EDF Ranger. Their next victory against Pyra and Rex was equally promising, but any hope for a belt on their hips was thoroughly crushed by a Nord Huscarl and a Sarranid Mamluk during the quarter-finals.

It took nearly two years until he reappeared in 8chanmania LXIV. And then disappeared again after promptly tapping out against the sublime and/or potentially illegal tactics of Black Mage.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • The officer's visual similarity to Master Chief and the fact he shares a name with the latter's armor is not exactly a surprise - both Marathon and Halo were developed by Bungie Studios.
