'''Appearance:''' Medium height lithe man. Longish greasy semi-curly black hair pulled into a messy bun with a slightly crooked hawkish nose. He is often seen sweat stained clothes of browns and grays. Tomás ''tries'' to keep his face shaved save for his thin mustache and goatee.

A bastard born of a union between a well respected city official and his mistress, Tomás has both friends and enemies all throughout the city. Many he knows of; there are even more he doesn’t.

Tomás has learned by living on the strange streets and alleys of Byzantium that morals take a backseat when it comes to having a full belly and a soft bed.

While it’s no secret that Tomás suffered from his ordeals in a Nightmare Incursion, the scars run deeper than the blood red hands and dim wits that he returned with. There are many mornings waking in strange places and prior nights that Tom cannot recall...

*Aura of Intimidation - Constantly surrounds him. Normal people are cowed in his presence, either having heard of him, or are witness to his curse, or simply able to read his body-language and that of those around him and able to tell that he's not someone to be approached lightly. This aura enables him to not have to suffer fools as much as others might (though the truly persistent ones always find a way to overcome their fears and approach anyway), but it also requires some extra effort for him to cross the boundary his fierceness commands and make a different connection. Perhaps the greatest boon of the wide berth people tend to give him is that he can ascertain fairly quickly who is unordinary, because they seem inured to his effect on lesser people.

**Carnegie Solomon - Proprietor of The Lucky Foot, an occult shop in Byzantium. Tomás came to Carn after he was cursed, they’ve been friends ever since. Carnegie is a huge black-tailed jackrabbit (7’ tall standing up) with a taste for exotic tobacco. He’s also a vampire. He and Tom never broach that subject though.

*Things
 
**Yeah I think that if Tom has one thing that he takes care of it’s this saber. It’s a graduation gift from the DiTerlo’s School of the Art, the fencing school that he attended. While the blade and scabbard are sharpened, cleaned, and oiled there is nothing special for these moments (silent drawing of weapon). That scrape of metal on metal occurs, that unmistakable sound of a blade being drawn. It’s done slow and carefully though so it’s fairly quiet but still happens.
