* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: He has a feminine nature and a painting of the 'Goddesses of the Forest' has what appears to be a female Thomas depicted. But it's just as likely that Thomas is simply a homosexual transvestite, possibly dressing up in an attempt to appeal to George's sick desires.

* {{Expy}}: Of Agent Dale Cooper from ''Series/TwinPeaks''.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: York is first seen driving his car in a heavy storm, with his cellphone clenched between his ear and shoulder, one hand on the driving wheel and the other typing on a laptop that is lying on the passenger's seat. And having a conversation with his superiors about how WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry are actually living in a co-dependent, sadomasochistic relationship. Then York talks with Zach. It immediately establishes what a weirdo this guy is.

The other deputy sheriff of Greenvale. Thomas is rather weak-willed and often becomes stressed under pressure, but still does a good job as a deputy sheriff. During the day, he works at the sherriff's department. At night, he tends bar in his sister's club, the Galaxy of Terror.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* CharacterExaggeration: York's love of movies is taken UpToEleven in the sequel. While he is willing to talk at length about movies during optional car conversations in the first game, York constantly makes movie references and goes on tangents about them even in the story cutscenes in the sequel. Considering a portion of it takes place years before the events of Greenvale, this could be more reflective of him being YoungerAndHipper.
