Thomas Andre

Towering and heavily muscled, Thomas sports long blond hair, a sprawling blond goatee, red eyes, and a mouth full of teeth that show in a broad grin, with black tattoos marking his frame. Drawing on his power turns his eyes a bright yellow and sends golden vein-like lines spreading over his skin. His casual taste for Hawaiian shirts, sunglasses, beach shorts, and sandals rarely changes. In the rewritten timeline he looks nearly identical, the chief difference being a full beard where the goatee once was.

Aggressive and proud, Thomas balances those traits with a fierce loyalty to his people. He saw to a proper funeral for Hwang Dongsoo despite the man's cruelty and once fought Jinwoo to the death trying to spare him, yet he has no patience for backtalk and turned hostile when Jinwoo would not pardon Dongsoo. His humble, scrappy beginnings left him convinced that strength decides everything, and he reaches for brute force without hesitation. Even so, he loses well, holding no grudge after Jinwoo nearly killed him, and he despises being in anyone's debt, traveling all the way to Korea just to share a meal and hand over Kamish's Wrath as repayment for sparing his guildmates.

Born to a struggling immigrant family in Europe, Thomas survived a hostile childhood by becoming a brawler who crushed every challenger. When magic beasts emerged, the Rulers granted him power, and he climbed to the heights of the hunter world. During his clash with Kamish he claimed the dragon's sharpest fang, which was later forged into a pair of daggers, though as no assassin he left them gathering dust in his guild's basement for eight years.

Across the Solo Leveling arcs, Thomas circled Jinwoo's rise. He flew to Korea to keep Hwang in check, refused to join the Jeju raid without his fee, and famously bet his guild HQ that Jinwoo would clear the Tokyo gate and survive, winning that wager handily. The pivotal confrontation came when Jinwoo beat Hwang to a pulp for targeting Jinho. Thomas asked for mercy on Hwang's behalf, and when Jinwoo refused, the two fought brutally, with Thomas going all out and using Reinforcement only to be beaten to the edge of death by Jinwoo's bare hands. Afterward he accepted Jinwoo's reasoning, made peace, and later delivered Kamish's Wrath as a gift. He went on to battle Rakan to a standstill before being saved by Lennart Niermann, and during Antares' invasion he summoned the shadow soldiers hidden within him, Bellion and Beru included, to swiftly cut down Tarnak. In the rewritten timeline that closed the series, he never became a hunter and found his calling as a wrestling champion.

The Ragnarok novel follows Thomas in that revised world. Urged years earlier by the seer Madame Selner to learn Korean, he became fluent and a fan of Korean dramas. He eventually regained his powers, rebuilt the Scavenger Guild, and sought out Sung Suho at Selner's prompting to help conquer the Glacier Dungeon, testing the young hunter's strength at his doorstep. Inside that dungeon he was possessed by an Apostle and went on a rampage, but Suho and Hae-In exorcised him using the sacred spring of the Ice Elves, restoring his memories of the old timeline. He kept their involvement secret to draw the Itarim's attention onto himself, later killing a possessed Christopher Reed and absorbing the Apostle's power, which branded him a murderer in America. Surrendering to the Federal Bureau of Hunters, he secretly worked with Adam White to hunt the Foreign Religion. His arc peaked inside Ahjin Soft's Towers of Trial game, where he relentlessly battled the NPC Monarch Legia until victory; the impressed Ammut gifted him the Primordial Darkness once held by the King of Giants. Emerging to find New York under attack, Thomas tore apart the Apostle of Conquest, claimed its title, and was formally recognized worldwide as a National Level Hunter and a Monarch in power.
