* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While's he's generally a jerk to Thomas, and seems almost deliberately unhelpful at times, he does seem to care about him; when Thomas breaks down over what he's done inviting Richard into his daughter's vicinity, he tries to comfort him by saying that Thomas couldn't have known. When he's sent into Henry's mind, Spirit Thomas is also just as concerned about Lily and Marianne as Thomas, if not as frantic about it.

Judging from how he comes out of the Hound's world after nearly thirty years and doesn't know where Material Thomas is, he seems to be more than just a personality, and rather an entity in and of himself.
