Background info
Born under the name John, he was born to Elissa and George, the baker, and librarian of Castrum Antiquum. He was a smart kid, and excelled mostly in his studies under his father's tutelage. When he turned 9, his Gift manifested, and he was taken in by Balder of Bonisagus to be his apprentice. While the older Magi treated him fairly well, it always felt like the education he got from him was purely to be a better lab assistant, and so that he could examine the enchanted items his parens occasionally brought in.
So much was he seen as just a simple lab assistant, that when Balder got envious of not training Thomas, it was like he completely forgot that he already has an apprentice already. Nothing he did seemed to have left a good enough mark on his parents. Not unlocking the secrets of enchanted items, not being good at his studies, and not even his remarkable skill with Artes Liberales.
But He persevered, and remained hopeful that one day his parens will come to realize his worth in his own right.
Unfortunately, that day didn't come. Shortly after passing his Gauntlet, he went to explore the land, wishing to see, for the first time, the world outside the walls of the covenant that he's called home till then.
In was a mere month after he left that the Diedne attacked Castrum Antiquum, and last he heard, it was decimated. Not wanting to be their next target, he did his best to blend in with the common people, hoping to evade the Diedne. It was during his travels that he happened to befriend a nice lady. She was enamored of his great knowledge, and seemed genuinely to consider him a worthy scholar. But she was also the wife of Wulfric, and when he found out about the young scholar he flew into a rage. It was only the fact that Elric cast The Phantom Gift on his, that saved his life, in that moment, and allowed him the chance to escape, as his own men became temporarily distrustful of him.
He made his way south, and eventually, found a place to stay in the ruins of the Roma Nova covenant, on the coast of Sussex. He stayed there for a few years, but then rumors began to filter that a group of young Magi have reclaimed Ungulus, and among them was Thomas. He was thrilled to hear that Thomas was alive and well, and did his best to get there as soon as he could.
His time away has caused him to become fascinated with learning the abilities of Enchanted Items, with the intention of unlocking secrets of the Diedne in item enchanting, and using those secrets against them.
