Story
Before the events of the game, Thomas married Rebecca, a powerful witch said to be the second coming of the great witch Alyce Ambrosia. Thomas himself, however, had no magical capabilities, and thus his relationship with Rebecca was looked down upon by her father, Josef.

Thomas and Rebecca settled in Sadovos with Rebecca's father, and the couple had three children: Roy, Marie, and Judy. All three of their children were gifted with magical ability like their mother. While Josef still did not fully approve of Rebecca's marriage to Thomas, he at least accepted him as his son-in-law and loved the grandchildren Thomas gave him.

When the game begins, Clyde Blackstorm visits Thomas's family's home to visit Josef with intent of finding a particular forbidden magic spell by any means necessary. When Clyde attacks Josef, trapping him in a mirror, Josef's safety mechanism is triggered, teleporting everyone around far away.

Because the safety mechanism teleports people farther away the stronger their magical powers are, Thomas is sent only to Serin, a nearby hamlet. The only family member who is closer after the mechanism teleports them is his 10-year-old daughter Judy who has still not begun to study magic extensively due to her young age, despite her natural gift for potential magic capabilities.

Not long after the teleport, Judy sets out to find the rest of her family. Accompanied by her new bodyguard Kurt, Judy meets up with Thomas in Serin.

As the journey to find the rest of the family members continues, the group journeys across the Vale of Swords following the directions given by Judy's Crystal Hoop. When the group is about to cross a bridge, one of Clyde's minions appears and summons a hoard of Pinhut Titus. Everyone defeats the monsters, but as they are crossing the bridge, more of the enemies appear. Thomas tells Judy to continue across the bridge and let him handle the monsters. Judy obeys her father; Thomas stays behind to fight the demons on his own.

After Judy and the others have safely crossed the bridge, it breaks, leaving Thomas to plummet to the bottom of the Vale. Judy continues on, confident that her father will make it out of the Vale alive.

As Judy continues her quest to reassemble her family, Thomas recovers from his fall into the Vale and returns to his home in Sadovos. After Judy finds the rest of her family members and rescues her mother from Clyde, she returns home where she finds her father once again. Thomas joins back up with his reuinted family and suggests rescuing Josef by going through Deities’ Table.

Thomas continues to journey with his family, eventually confronting Clyde and fighting Chaos to save Josef.

An alternate version to Thomas's story is available if the player character is Venuts instead of Judy. When Venuts travels to the Vale of Swords, he may find Thomas where he fell after his battle with Clyde's minions. If Thomas joins Ventus, he will be suffering from amnesia, and can only remember that he is "someone's daddy."

Initial Stats
Thomas' true strength lies in Axe and Melee, both of which he can use to devastating effect.

Trivia

 * Thomas is one of the only characters that will actually leave a party line-up permanently when he shows up in Judy's quest. Still, he does return towards the end.
 * It's also remarkable how well all works together. In Judy's quest, him talking about "being daddy" fits to being Judy's dad, while in Ventus'es quest it fits cause he suffers from amnesia and all he remembers is being someone's dad.
