Mjolnir Recon Number 54 is the player character of Marathon. Recon 54 is a two-meter tall human that was transformed into a Mjolnir battleroid/cyborg centuries before the start of the game. In this version of the story, Recon 54 is used as the last defense against the alien invaders aboard the UESC Marathon, awoken by the shipboard AI, Leela. After being activated, the situation unravels and the three AI (Leela, Durandal, Tycho) begin pulling him in different directions for their own purposes.

This is fan concept art for a theoretical remake of Bungie's first Marathon game. I was inspired by the beautiful and faithful redesigns of classic characters and environments from Doom Eternal and the FFVII Remake. I wanted to show love to the Halo-precursor series which has a cool story about AI, cybernetics, and aliens.
