Thomas

Thomas is the leader of Chernyi Klan. He is also one of the darkest characters in the stories, playing the part of one of the main antagonists before changing his ways. Between Series 1 & 2 he is the leader of Team 1, during Series 3 he leaves rehabilitaion and joins Team America.

Appearance
Pale ginger hair and coal black eyes. In series 1 the eyes are a more grey colour, but by the time the 2nd series comes about they are sheer black. Despite his dark appearance he often wears white and orange clothes.

Family
Thomas is an illigitamate child, his two half brothers being Jim and Jasper. Jasper (Who is much older than Thomas and Jim) has a son called Magic who is Thomas' half nephew. Thomas killed his own father in order to take the place as leader of his clan. He hates his two half brothers, though he seems fond of Magic. It is not usual for the members of their clan to be close to anyone.

Series 1 & 2
Thomas and his Team are named Team 1 a year before the series starts. He quickly begins colabarating with both Dr Dingo and Captain Coyote, his team being given a share of whatever they help them to steal or get away with. He also helps to remove any one that is getting in their way.

He begins to dig-up dirt on Rocky and his team mates when it is brought to his attention that Team 2 are at the very least suspicious of them.

Thomas and his team eventually help Dr Dingo lead an attack on BASE, helping him and his troops get in, before joining in on their side. He fights Rocky and Harry, the two of them only just about manage to beat him, especially when Thomas unleashes the power that his eyes have given him. Even after he's defeated he mocks Harry and Rocky's clans, because it took two of their heirs to bring down one young leader of his clan.

Rehabilitation
Between Series 2 & 3 Thomas goes through a series of experements that are organised by BASE, that take place on those they deam phycologicaly unstable. Thomas is reveled to have scars under his hair where they drilled into his head. The treatment is inhumain, though Thomas doesn't talk about it until he is questioned about it by Billie in Series 5. Even after the treatment there are signs that Thomas is still able to slip back into his madness and hatred. Despite his cheerfulness, he seems cold and indifferent to many of the other characters.

Series 3 Onwards
He is given another chance and joins Team America under Floppy. Thomas doesn't seem to mind being bossed around, despite him having once been the leader of Team 1. Floppy is lax with his rules, letting Thomas and the rest of the team get away with almost anything they do.

Thomas is involved in both drug dealing businesses, gambling and prostitution. He seems to water this down after the fourth series, but he gives reason for Team 1 to doubt his change when they are sent on a mission to shut down some of the powerful drug businesses in America.

He does seem to be fond of Felix from IT in BASE who spends a lot of time with her sister in America. Felix is a lot more relaxed around him than many of the other girls in BASE, she also doesn't swoon over him like other girls, this increases his interest in her.

In Series 5 he finally reveals to Billie, Harry and Rocky what happened to him through Rehabilitation. There is a darkness in his voice that suggests that he wants revenge on the ones that experimented on him. From this moment on Thomas becomes a lot less stable.

Rocky
Thomas is aware that Rocky looks up to him when he's the leader of Team 1 and uses this as his advantage to manipulate Team 2. Thomas is never quite trusted again by Rocky after his betrayal.

Lola
She always disliked him, and after his betrayal Lola does not trust him at all, he is one of the few boys that she doesn't flirt with. Finding this amusing, Thomas is always sure to flirt with her when he sees her, just because he knows how much it annoys her. Lola is sometimes victim to some of Thomas' more violent language.

Skidder
Skidder and Thomas always had a pretty good relationship before. Thomas assures the new Team 1 that Skidder was not involved in any of their 'evil' plans. Skidder does not hold anything against Thomas.

Billie
Because she is Fudge's girlfriend, Thomas flirts with her just to annoy Fudge. It has resulted in many fights between him and Fudge. Billie doesn't take Thomas' flirts seriously.

Harry
Thomas and Harry both disliked each other during the first two series and continue to do so afterwards. Harry still doesn't trust Thomas.

Andrex
As he does with many girls, Thomas flirts with Andrex because he knows that it annoys Floppy. Andrex is at first a little nervous of Thomas, though she gradually gets used to him.

Felix
Thomas seems perticularly keen on Felix who holds no grudge against him, but does not sucumb to his flirtations, though she flirts back quite happily. She seems to like him as well, judging by the amount of time that she spends in America with him.

Magic
Thomas is fond of his nephew, even if he doesn't get on with his two brothers. He's always trying to build a family relation between them. Magic finds him annoying and dislikes him immensly, though he does take responsability for Thomas on the many occations when he is arrested.

Sandy
Thomas knows that his nephew likes her, and is always trying to drop hints for her, or purposly annoying his nephew by flirting with her. Sandy isn't sure what to make of him, but she thinks that Magic should try to get on better with him.

Floppy
Thomas doesn't seem to hold any ill grudge against Floppy for being his new boss. Floppy lets him get away with a lot, though he does sometimes rein him back in again if he thinks that Thomas is beginning to go to far. He is more aware than the others of Thomas' changable moods. He is aware that Floppy has licence to kill him if he steps too far out of line, he is amused by this idea.

Fudge
Fudge and Thomas seem to get on alright. But Thomas does deliberatly wind him up by flirting with his girlfriend or telling her stories he's made up about Fudge and other girls. Fudge despairs of Thomas, but is usually there for him.

Jack
Both Jack and Thomas are the most corrupt members of Team America. They often gamble together or organise gambling parties. Both have previously been criminals.

Heather
Because she is Floppy's sister Thomas flirts with her to make Floppy angry. Heather doesn't seem to care at all, and often compleatly ignores him.

Jim (James)
The two half brothers hate each other. Jim sees it as his rightful place to lead their clan and is always threatening Thomas with a challange. Thomas mocks him because his eyes aren't as black as his. Jim also seemed more fond of their father, and despises Thomas for killing him.

Dr Rat
There are hints that Dr Rat organised the 'rehabilitaion' on Thomas, and was aware of the experiments. Even though Thomas is always smoothly polite to him, there are hints that Thomas is contemplating revenge. Dr Rat insures that Floppy is aware of this, to let him see how important it is that Thomas is kept under control, and even killed very quickly if he shows signs of snapping into perminant madness.

Dr Dingo
When they were both villains Thomas helped Dr Dingo break into BASE. Even though they're both working for BASE now, they get on well, though it is unlikely now that Dr Dingo would assist him in any criminal activity.

Captain Coyote
Unlike Dr Dingo, Captain Coyote seems more indifferent to Thomas, despite their old alliances.

The real Thomas
The real Thomas was a ginger cat that belonged to a friend of the author. The real Thomas was actually crippled (with back legs that he used to drag behind him). He was introduced first introduced into the idea of the story a little after the characters in Team 2/1.
