Personality:
Thomas is a traditional gentleman who has been warped by pain and war. He is kind-hearted and on many occasions this has caused him quiet a few problems and so over the years he had learnt to show less sensitivity while on the job. Thos however does not mean he does not care for his men, they are the most important thing to him (other then his family) and he would do anything to protect them.

Once Thomas has his mind set on something he is determined to pull it off and will stop at nothing to prevent him from achieving his goals. Whether this means using force or charming his way out of a situation Thomas will do it!

History:
Born to a wealthy family in 1820 Thomas was set for a life as a gentleman, a life of luxury and living off the fortune that his great grandfathers had achieved. For a man in their early twenties this was the life to have, no responsibility, two lives both in town and the country, he could get any woman he wanted and still go home at weekends and play the good little son. But the problem was that Thomas was different, he was not like any of this family because non of his family could make this explode with the power of there mind, non of his family could control water and for some reason he did not seem to grow old.

His father wanted them to keep these abilities quiet, they would live on normally, and life would go on as normal. And the Higgenson family did do this but Thomas could not help but be curious about his abilities. God had given them to him for a reason and it would be against his wishes to turn his back on them. These feelings however he kept from his parents as he knew what their reaction would be, he was there only son, the only heir and they needed to look after him and their best intensions, but Thomas had to find out more!

One night when sitting at ‘The King Herald’ pub in Manchester he over heard a conversation between two locals. They mentioned about a young Japanese woman wondering around the streets, she was homeless, pregnant and was a witch. Any normal people would have scoffed at the last statement and accused the men of drinking too much ale but Thomas would believe anything. It took a while to find her but one night he spotted someone stumbling down by the river side, running to the person aid he found a young Japanese girl, heavily pregnant. Her name was Akira Nakajima.

Knowing that the poor woman had no where to go his kind heart took over and his instinct told him to take her in. Rumours naturally started to spread but all that mattered to Thomas was that he was not the only one, there were others like him with powers. Together him and Akira helped create a community for all the Malkavians to live in safety and by being with other people who are like them advance there powers. The first twenty odd years were peaceful and they only helped heal and protect others in the war between the Lycans and Vampires. It was not until the death o f Chihiro, Akira’s daughter did things change.

Thomas saw that moment as a defining point in his life; it was the moment that a life time of war began. Chihiro was like his own daughter and the loss of her hit him almost as much as it affected Akira. Together him and Akira sort to bring down the murder of their daughter and dived fully into the battle with the Lycans and Vampires, willing to put his life on the line to save others. Decades past of fighting their own underworld battle when the society around them started their own war. The First World War was the biggest war of its time and Thomas lead many of the male Malkavians to war, joining the British army and fighting on the front line in France. Thomas spent most of the war in the Trenches at the Somme, as a old fashioned Gentleman he was put straight into the officer ranks and it was his job to lead the men over the top on that fateful morning.

The affects are still present with the man, the images of his fallen comrades mutilated by machine gun fire, loud explosions still make him jittery and the only thing that helped then still helps now…the faithful cigarette. Thomas was on of the lucky individuals who survived going into no mans land, he was found dehydrated, face badly disfigured by an explosion and bullet wounds in his leg. Under German machine gun fire he was dragged to safety and quickly sent to the hospital and it was while lying in a makeshift hospital bed with itchy blankets and head pounding Thomas met a young nurse, Jennifer. He was immediately taken to her and she seemed to be interested in him. She would stay next to his bedside at night, they would talk (Thomas trying to charm her into the small hospital bed with him) but they had their own little secret…Jenna has healing hands. Akira had this power and it just attracted him even more to the young nurse, yet war time was fast moving and Thomas was sent back to Britain before he could even say goodbye.

Thomas did not return to the Malkavians, he did not know how he could return to his past life after so much had changed over the years. Instead he reminded in the army, keeping his powers and past life a hidden mystery from his men. As an officer people looked up to him, he had a responsibility to make sure everyone was ok and that was something he thrived on. His troops travelled all over Europe helping pick up the pieces after the Great War, helping out civilians who had lost everything, this was real work, this meant something, not mindless killing of Lycans and Vampires.

So for many years Thomas travelled around the world, helping out many people, having flings and occasionally bumping into Jenna. However one of the main people that Thomas bumped into on his travels that shaped his future was Harold Veldon.

(Because I am feeling lazy I will finish the history one day…someday hahaha! But if you really want to know the main points just look in Jenna Higginson’s history hahaha most of it is there!)
