Maurice Favreau (モーリス・ファンボロー Mōrisu Fanborō) is a soldier in the Galactic Federation Army, working as the military Engineer of the 07th Platoon led by Commander Adam Malkovich in Metroid: Other M.[2]
Biography[]
Maurice trained in the Galactic Federation Academy at Training Base #2, and first served at Resupply Center #4 in the Department of Logistics. He was then transferred in the 07th Platoon as a military Engineer.[2]
Maurice and the 07th Platoon investigate the BOTTLE SHIP, encountering Samus Aran and cooperating with her to defeat the Brug Mass in the BOTTLE SHIP Control Room. Afterwards, Adam instructs Maurice to investigate Sector 2 / Cryosphere for survivors and repair any equipment he comes across.
In the main observation deck of the Exam Center in Sector 1 / Biosphere, Maurice repairs a computer that has seemingly "self-destructed" and recovers a piece of data: a message revealing the Galactic Federation-sanctioned, yet illegal, development of bioweapons, signed by Dr. Madeline Bergman. He recovers more of the data, asking James Pierce to hack into the computer if he cannot bypass the security system on his own. However, the remaining data is never revealed, as the 07th Platoon evacuates the building when Samus engages a group of Cyborg Zebesians, and it is lost when the entire building detonates sometime afterwards.
Maurice is shot dead by the Deleter with a Freeze Gun.
Maurice returns to the Cryosphere to continue his mission. Later on, Samus finds Maurice dead in the Experiment Floor, having apparently frozen to death in the cold. When Samus speaks to MB, the latter states that Maurice was killed by a fellow soldier, and a flashback shows him being shot by the Deleter using a Freeze Gun. Noticeably, his visor is open, indicating that he felt comfortable enough to assume his attacker was an ally. This incident is when Samus realizes that there is a traitor in the 07th Platoon.
In the post-credits sequence, Maurice's corpse is no longer present. It is likely that the Galactic Federation took his body, along with James Pierce's and Lyle Smithsonian's bodies, to be given a proper burial.
Description[]
Maurice Favreau is a male, Caucasian human. Both his name and surname are of French origin, implying French descent. He is one of the older members of the 07th Platoon, being in his late 30's; his hair has already grayed and he has a receding hairline. He wears a Galactic Federation Power Suit, equipped with the standard Federation handgun, Submachine Gun, and Freeze Gun.
Maurice is a kind and intelligent soldier. He silently takes pride in his work, and follows orders precisely. He is described as always having a thoughtful facial expression.[1] However, Maurice can also be heard laughing as Lyle brutally exterminates a Brug with his assault rifle.
Official data[]
Maurice examines the main computer in the Exam Centre.
