It was here he eventually joined the Gilnean Military to serve his people, hiding the fact he was a Worgen.

During the fall of the Kingdom, he was bite again and faked that, this was the time he was turned. Leaving the Greyguard after a time, to join up with the Gilnean Liberation Front.

After this he retired from the Gilnean Military and turned to Mercenary work in Hillsbrad and Arathi.

It was at this time he learned most of his craft of outdoorsmanship from the last few of the Quel'Dorei who remained in the area. Which he used to survive for a short time until fateful meeting with Lord Ravenholdt who saw potential in the man as an assassin. The training stuck, but the work ethic did not and after paying off the debt owed to Ravenholdt he when his own way to Stormwind, where he rejoined his old comrades in the Greyguard once again and was present during the burning of Teldrassil, managing to assist in the evacuation.

## Political Career

Thomas' biggest concern is the welfare of the Gilneans surviving in the Kingdom. That being said, he prefers laws that are just and equal across the board. He despises when people try to further an agenda that benefits no one but the creator. And he considers the whole of the Kingdom before rending any choice, be it good or bad. If the benefits to the whole as a Kingdom outweigh it's price, he will vote for it. He doesn't care for how people view him, as long as they understand he's choosing on what he believes is best.
