Personality: (at least 4 sentences)
He’s a serious cop. Rarely smiles since he’s often too busy working, the only exception to this is when he’s around his sister. Fiercely protective doesn’t even cover it. He doesn’t have much time for socializing outside of work but he does have a few friends. At one time he was really outgoing and quite popular but everything changed with death after death, each piece stealing a bit of his soul. His worst slip in history was when he was drinking, he pushed everyone and everything out of his life not wanting to hurt anymore, but then Adele became his responsibility and he cleaned up. Just like anyone else he’s got a good side and a bad one.

- Father:Deceased
- Siblings (if any, list names and ages):Adele Graham
- Other family members (if significant):
History:
Thomas took on the role of “Man of the House” very early. After his father died he assumed responsibility in raising his younger siblings and helping his mother.
When it was time for him to attend School he was almost afraid to, he didn’t want to leave his family in case anything would happen to them and he couldn’t be there to protect them, but he realized he needed to be stronger in order to protect them. When his mother died he was only 12. They transferred him and the rest of his siblings to England and to Hogwarts. Two years later when he was 14 he saw his younger brother only a bit younger than himself torn apart by a werewolf. He blamed himself that he hadn’t been strong enough at the time to fight the wolf and possibly save his brother.
This made him study even harder and he received top marks in most of his classes, his favorite class was D.A.D.A. He didn’t understand the tragedy that was their family but each time another death happened he felt responsible and it ate him up inside.
It hasn’t even been two years since the last tragedy. His younger brother and his sister’s boyfriend were attacked and killed by Death Eaters.
Adele was all he had left in the world and he felt as if he had failed her so badly which in turn led to a steady decline involving alcohol. He almost lost himself in the addiction when their grandparents died. He was given the option to take custody of Adele since he was of age and she was almost of age, he realized he couldn’t create a home with him being a drunk. It took a while but he cured himself. It was a violent process but never once did he let Adele see that darker side of him or how deeply he had been broken. Now he lives for her.
He also lives for revenge on the Death Eaters who killed his family, and the wolf that tore apart his brother. This ultimately led him to a career with the ministry. He could have pushed for an intelligence position if he wanted it since his specialty seemed to be sensing danger before it happened and planning around it but he preferred to be in the field hands on protecting the innocent.
If Thomas were a different kind of person some might have called him a glory hound since he took big risks and often came out looking like a hero. But he didn’t like the spotlight, he helped people, he protected them because he couldn’t protect his family, except for Adele, and heaven help the person who would try and hurt her.
Anything else?
Believe it or not I asked if I could make this character lol.
