Thomas Kelly, better known as Sabaoth, is the secondary antagonist in 2004 video game Doom 3.
He was formerly a human marine sergeant before being corrupted by the demonic influence and Dr Malcom Betruger, eventually being turned into a cybernetic hybrid monstrosity.
In both forms, the character is voiced by Neil Ross.
Appearance
As a human, Sergeant Kelly has green eyes and a short patch of brown hair on his otherwise crew-cut hairstyle. For clothing, he wears a suit of green armor covering his chest and legs with boots, exposing his arms.
As Sabaoth, Sergeant Kelly's body changes into a nightmarish mixture of human and technological parts. On Kelly's head, right arm, and part of his torso is left unchanged, with a large mechanical claw serving as his left arm, a BFG 9000 strapped above his right shoulder, and his entire bottom portion being swapped for a tank-like frame serving as additional mechanical pieces.
Biography
Sabaoth is really Sergeant Kelly after his demonic transformation. He was at the top of the enlisted chain of command on the Mars Base (Marine HQ). Though stoic and cold, he is very well respected for his dedication. A career military man, he only expects the best from his men. He has a large pet peeve with lazy soldiers or slackers, often giving them complicated tasks to due as penance.
Soon after finding Dr. Ishii, the demonic horde consumes the base, with Sergeant Kelly ordering his men to head to their HQ. Surprised at the player's survival, Sergeant Kelly asks you to link up with the Bravo Team to call for help. The player has the choice whenever to do so or not for this, be it obeying their commander or listening to Swann's concerns and not activating it. Although he asks for the player's presence at Service Tunnel 1, the transmission from the Service Tunnel 1 is the last we see of the sergeant uncorrupted.
How did Kelly become an abominable fusion of flesh and machine still remains unknown. While some believe Kelly was always in cahoots with the demons (as he wanted rescue to come to the Mars base, and him saying the hero's duty was to be slain), others suggest he was a heroic man only corrupted by Dr. Malcolm Betruger, and his attempts to summon the fleet were him innocently trying to get help.
Regardless, Kelly attacks Swann and Campbell, eventually killing them both. The latter also warns of Sabaoth having the BFG 9000 on it. After Campbell died, he then taunts the marine say the he killed the pathetic Campbell and he will be the next.
The hero later comes face-to-face with Sabaoth, and with this form, the player is forced to kill Thomas Kelly, gaining the BFG 9000 after the fight.
