Thomas Blackwood is the
ex-Gangrel Primogen of Baltimore. One of the strongest fighters in the city, he began his life as little more than a tool, a twisted form of death day present to his brother, a
Ventrue. A pre-broken Gangrel to serve as a bodyguard to the more deserving clan.
He was able to break free of both his mother and brother's control, fleeing to the Americas to start anew. He joined the
Anarchs in Kansas City, but was exiled from them and moved to Baltimore to start anew.
Since moving to Baltimore, he has established himself as one of the most powerful warriors in the city, often placing himself at the forefront of battle and harnessing his immense rage to great effect. He has mastered many Disciplines, including Protean, Fortitude, Celerity and Potence. His berserker furies have become legend amongst his people, over whom he is immensely protective.
His signature ability is Shape of the Beast's Wrath, a ferociously potent Protean power that changes him into a monstrous hellhound like creature, with blazing red eyes and a glowing orange maw, as if his insides were permanently aflame.
At the ascension of
Queen Eleanor of Baltimore to the new antediluvian of the
Plantagenet clan, she issued a contest to the vampires of Baltimore. She sought champions of beauty, intelligence, and strength to be her methuselahs, the bloodlines of her clan. Thomas was chosen as her avatar of strength.

Father (Vital)
Towards Persephone Blackwood
History
Thomas and Seph's relationship began when they were both under the impression that she was still the Ventrue Waverly. He took on a mentor role, and refused to leave her side even when her true nature was revealed.
When Seph needed to choose a name for her IDs, she asked Thomas if she could take his last name.
Ever since then, he acted as a surrogate father to her - however, when Thomas became a Plantagenet, he was lost to her. The banality gripping his body was too harsh for her to bear, and she felt doubly betrayed by him and Lucien both taking Eleanor's offer back to back.
She still loves him, but... she has a lot of hurt wrapped up in those feelings.
History
Thomas and Lucien were already good friends before Lucien and Persephone Blackwood began to date, but after their relationship grew even stronger once Lucien began to court Thomas' daughter. Currently, the Gangrel and Toreador Primogens are bosom companions.
History
Thomas and Eve have only met a few times, and despite Eve's prowess as a fighter, Thomas knocked her into torpor with one punch. He revived her, and Eve panicked, experiencing flashbacks to when she was a prisoner of the Camarilla.
Eve is terrified of her Primogen, embarrassed of both the way he was able to dispatch her so easily but also that he is aware of some of her darkest secrets. She avoids him if at all possible.
