Томас Андре

**Томас Андре** (트마스 아드레) - самый сильный охотник в Америке и один из пяти охотников национального уровня, занимающий 1-е место в мире.

## Внешность

Томас - огромный, мускулистый мужчина с длинными светлыми волосами, красными глазами, зубастой улыбкой, отросшей светлой козлиной бородкой и большими черными татуировками. В момент использования магии его глаза светятся ярко-желтым цветом, а на теле появляются золотые узоры, похожие на вены. Он почти всегда одет в гавайскую рубашку, солнцезащитные очки, пляжные шорты и сандалии.

## Личность

Томас - уверенный в себе и уравновешенный человек с сильным чувством товарищества, очевидной любовью к гавайским рубашкам и большой верой в превосходство силы во всех вопросах. Как результат, он устроил Хван Дон-Су достойные похороны, несмотря на то, что тот был убийцей. Томас также ненавидит быть должником кому-либо, что было показано, когда он специально приехал в Корею, чтобы отдать Джин-Ву "Гнев Камиша" в благодарность за то, что тот спас его жизнь и жизни членов его гильдии во время их боя в Штатах.

## История

Thomas was the son of a poor European immigrant family and spent his childhood surrounded by enemies and with nothing to his name. In order to survive in such a cruel environment, he developed a reputation as a brawler, proving his natural talent for domination repeatedly through an endless series of fights with those stupid enough to oppose him. When humanity learned about the existence of magic years later, Thomas seized the opportunity to become a true king and eventually rose up to become one of the strongest hunters in the world.

During his battle with Kamish, Thomas was able to get his hands on the dragon's sharpest fang after it bit him with it. Following Kamish's death, he was allowed to keep the fang as a souvenir and eventually sought to make a weapon out of it. As the fang was too short to make a longsword, it was crafted into a pair of daggers instead. However, as Thomas wasn't an assassin-type hunter, he chose not to use the daggers and as a result, they spent the next eight years collecting dust in the basement of the Scavenger Guild's skyscraper.

### Арка острова Чеджу

When Hwang caused a scene in Korea in his attempt to hunt down and kill Jinwoo, Thomas flew over to the country about a month later to meet with Go Gunhee and make sure that Hwang wasn't given a second opportunity to make the same mistake. However, after learning that Gunhee had already denied Hwang entry into the country, Thomas decided to head back home and made it clear that he would not participate in the Jeju Island Raid unless he was paid his fee.

### Арка "Японского кризиса"

When a S-Rank Gate spawned in Maryland about a month later, Thomas overheard a trio of S-Ranks taking bets on when Jinwoo would die trying to clear the new S-Rank Gate in Tokyo. When one bet his yacht and another bet his house, Thomas barged into their conversation and bet his guild's skyscraper that Jinwoo would prove them all wrong, clear the gate without incident, and survive in one piece.

After the Maryland S-Rank Gate was cleared without incident, Thomas learned that he had won his bet and gleefully confronted the same trio at the party held by the American government for losing their bet, rubbing it in their faces that they were stupid to underestimate Jinwoo as much as they did. Things got complicated, however, when he later learned from Laura that Jinwoo was coming to America to represent Korea at the International Guild Conference, which was a problem for them as Hwang was still bent on getting his revenge on Jinwoo for murdering his brother.

### Арка Международной Конференции Гильдий

Two days before the conference was set to take place, Thomas summoned Hwang to his office and ordered him not to mess with Jinwoo under any circumstances. Unfortunately, Hwang did not listen and targeted Jinho, Jinwoo's right-hand man, to get his revenge instead. By the time Thomas later tracked down Hwang to an abandoned factory, Jinwoo had already beaten him there and reduced Hwang to a bloody pulp.

Not wanting to lose Hwang over something as petty as revenge, Thomas requested Jinwoo to let him go, promising that he would pretend that this whole thing had never happened if he did. When Jinwoo refused, Thomas angrily attacked him and the two of them ultimately got into a brutal fight when Jinwoo stubbornly refused to back down. When Jinwoo proved to be strong enough to make him bleed, Thomas decided to stop holding back and went all out, even using his **Reinforcement** skill to get his best shot at victory. Unfortunately, it still wasn't good enough, as Jinwoo still easily beat him to the brink of the death with just pure strength.

After spending a day recovering in the hospital, Thomas met Jinwoo at the conference hall and asked him why he and his guild members had had their lives spared. When Jinwoo responded by saying that they hadn't done anything to him that deserved death, Thomas accepted his reasoning and asked Jinwoo to give him his contact info so that they could get a bite to eat together sometime.

## Умения

As the vessel of a Ruler and a National Level Hunter, Thomas is one of the strongest hunters in the world and his immense power earns him both great fear and respect from his fellow S-Ranks and the American government.

* **Immense Physical Prowess:** As a Rulers' vessel, Thomas possesses immense strength, speed, and durability. As a testament to this, he was able to put up a good fight against Jinwoo and fight evenly with the Beast Monarch until the latter activated his **Spiritual Body Manifestation**. And even then, he was able to snap the Beast Monarch's neck with his bare hands and eject himself out of his armor with such speed that the Beast Monarch didn't notice that he was gone until it was almost too late.
* **Reinforcement:** Thomas dramatically buffs both his defense and attack power, covering him from head to toe in golden armor with black horns and giving his hair a whitish, glowing flame-like quality. The defense that Thomas gets from this move is so great that the Beast Monarch couldn't cut his skin and Jinwoo bruised his hands from punching him so many times in their fight.
* **Capture:** Thomas telekinetically pulls in objects towards himself. According to Jinwoo, with Reinforcement activated this attack is almost like a black hole in potency and he would would have been sucked in had he not been able to use Ruler's Authority. As a further testament to the sheer might of this attack, it was able to pull Kamish out of the sky.
* **Collapse:** Thomas smashes his fists into the ground, creating a massive shockwave that demolishes anyone unfortunate enough to get caught in its blast radius.
* **Spiritual Body Manifestation**
* **Power Smash:** Thomas infuses his mana into a single arm and throws an extremely powerful punch.
