Thomas Blackwood
Retired
Warlord Thomas Victor Blackwood (a.k.a. Bear, Tom Cat)
Thomas Blackwood is renowned for his battle prowess, bluntness and ferocity. And how hopeless he is when it comes to social interaction. He is savage and unrefined, and proud of it. He harbours an intense hatred of the Camarilla and Sabbat, but if he had to choose one over the other, at least the Sabbat have some semblance of honour.
He is a master of many disciplines, and learning more where he can, all to protect those he loves. He refuses to stop, either, completely relentless and nearly unstoppable when his mind is set to a task.
As for his background, he was born in London to a prostitute, left in the gutter to die an infant, until he was adopted by the rich and influential Blackwood family. There, he was given to his brother Alexander as a gift of sorts, a loyal protector to serve in perpetuity to his Ventrue sibling. Thomas took to the service of others like a duck to water, loyally protecting his brother until he finally broke, leaving with his pet corgi Theo to America, hoping that the distance of a continent and an ocean would serve to put enough distance between him and his family.
Once in America, he wandered until he reached Kansas City, where he immediately proceeded to get the shit kicked out of him by another Gangrel named Tuck. Afterwards, Thomas became obsessed with proving that he was stronger than Tuck, or at least on an equal level. That never bore fruit, with the Anarchs of KC leaving the city after the elimination of Sabbat Bishop Mother Daleka, a Hardestadt and an Archon, actions that would result in him being placed upon the dreaded Red List.
After the events of KC, Thomas exiled himself from the Anarch Community he loved so much to protect them from himself while he grew and learned as Kindred, eventually settling in Baltimore. There, he was forcefully named Primogen of his Clan by it's ruling Queen, much to his chagrin. He quickly proved himself a capable leader, however, restoring South Baltimore to a somewhat liveable state before he left ahead of Marcus Vitel's assault that left the city in ruins.
Now, he has returned to the Movement as a Warlord, a roving monstrosity of claws and teeth that serve to sweep away anything in his path. Nothing will sate his bloodthirst short of the complete removal of the Sabbat from the city, but with Camarilla elements pressing in, his attention will be divided.
Relationships
History
Thomas and Lucien first met in Baltimore at a party, where they quickly became friends. During their time there, Thomas quickly ended up regarding Lucien as a pack brother rather than a friend. As a general rule of thumb, if Thomas says he would die for someone, you'd best take it seriously. He would most certainly die for Lucien.
History
Thomas and Corinthia met in Baltimore, where she employed her wiles to seduce him, with unsurprising ease given his history. The two quickly became a couple, united in Baharism and the worship of the Dark Mother Lilith. After leaving Baltimore, Thomas presumed her to be deceased, and was ecstatic to find that this was not the case. The two have sunce reunited, their love burning brighter than ever.

Author's Notes
As a 7th Generation vampire, one as powerful as Thomas is typically not used in most V20 games. Please be careful when using characters of roughly this power level, as they can typically stomp most other characters into the dirt
