| 492 | * AbusiveParents: Grew up as a farmer with a harsh father who taught him to respect the rules above all. |
| 493 | * ColorMotif: Most Assassins tend to go for white (or at the least, grey) in their outfits. That Thomas's uniform is more toward black is the first hint he's kind of a bastard. |
| 494 | * GoodIsNotNice: Tom is one of the most ruthless and least compassionate Assassins known so far. He comes very close to violating the Creed several times, threatening innocents for information even though he actually has no intention of hurting them (too badly). Galina even notes that his is a serious problem, since Charlotte will have a hard time synchronizing with Tom due to their polar-opposite personalities. |
