Thomas Manns

Thomas Manns is one of the main characters of the Face of God series. He is a 36 year old male, who has the ability to enact judgement of anyone he wishes.
== History ==
Thomas works as a pathological therapist. One of his patients is a woman who hasn't been able to improve, and his boss suggest he pass her own, but Thomas' stubbornness leads him to keep trying. Shortly after, he makes progress, and soon finds out that his progress is attached to an ability that has only now been unveiled. 
His patient makes great progress, and in time, Thomas realizes he can affect people's path in life (obviously, a play on his occupation as a pathologist). After the death of his Grandma to cancer, he learns this allows him to, specifically, bring judgement on others according to their acts in life. Later, however, he eventually learns that he can trade judgements, remove people's bad karma, so to speak, or even judge the innocent based on someone else's evil deeds.
== Present ==
Over the first book, "Hand," Thomas leads to a breakthrough for his patient Rachel, and bonds with her son Thames. They become partners, and Thomas gets news recognition. He also learns to use his powers and gets revenge on one of his enemies, and ends up taken a crooked path, leaving him an anti-hero. 
As the series continues, Thomas gains a following and an army which he leads to bring "The Judgement," an end of time scenario where he believes he is to help end the human race. When he comes out of exile, he writes three books about how to live in exile, his philosophy, and his vision for the end of time. His first book, "First Love," is an autobiography of his journey with Rachel Hargood and his journey to where he is now. His second book, "A Hand in it All," is about how he lived in exile, what he learned, and his philosophy on self growth. His last book, "Reframing," recaps his biography and shares his philosophy on his end of time goals in such a way as to keep him out of criminal in interest. Thomas becomes a famous person, someone who appears on 60 Minutes, talk shows, etc. In short, he's able to be discharged of his crimes due to the fact that he was helping to uncover corruption (it's bad for public image to arrest and charge him), writes several books, and then proceeds to become the criminal he tried to stop--in the name of his end time philosophy.
Several others with "The Face of God" abilities, such as Stacey Monners and Eli Laffe, fight against his efforts, as well as joined world governments. Eventually, Thomas helps bring about a galactic level war when The Silent become a threat to humanity.
The books will continue to explore his ark and see if he ends as a hero, anti-hero, or something in between.
