* ObfuscatingStupidity: Tomas came off as a ManChild during his time as an M.L.S. teacher, but in reality, he was a wanted criminal who'd forged his identity. He even managed to fool Page, who's also smarter than he looks, for a while. Even when Muhyo and the other heroes confront Tomas knowing full well that he's evil, Tomas manages to get Muhyo to briefly lower his guard and sentence him to Beelzebub's Jewel Box (which doesn't work on Tomas, who has a pact with Beelzebub himself).
