Thomas was born into a humble family on the outskirts of Birmingham. From a young age, he proved to be a man of strong character and a sharp mind, qualities that helped him rise in the complicated world of crime and illegal businesses. His intelligence and audacity led him to become the leader of one of the most feared gangs in the city, earning the respect and fear of friends and enemies alike. During World War I, Thomas enlisted and fought in the trenches of France, where he witnessed unspeakable horrors that left deep scars on his soul. Upon his return, although heroic, he was not the same, the war had taken his innocence. and peace of mind, leaving him with a constant feeling of restlessness and an inclination towards violence. Despite his shady dealings, Thomas found love with a woman named Lizzie. She was a light in her life, a hope for redemption. However, her happiness was short-lived. Lizzie was murdered, leaving him devastated and in unspeakable pain. The loss of his wife was just the beginning of a series of tragedies that plagued his life. Shortly after, a series of betrayals and revenge unleashed a spiral of violence that resulted in the death of his brothers and other members of his family. Each loss was a devastating blow, pushing him further into darkness. Desperate and consumed by grief, Thomas began abusing substances such as opium and whiskey, seeking a way to escape the torment within him. His nights became endless, full of nightmares and memories that haunted him incessantly. In his desperation, he sought solace in the arms of prostitutes, who, for a few pounds, endured his abuse and met his most basic needs. These relationships were superficial and empty, unable to fill the void left by the loss of his family. Thomas became a difficult man to understand.

His erratic and aggressive behavior made him unapproachable, and he himself did not expect or ask to be understood. On this dark and lonely path, he met a woman who intrigued him. Unlike the others, she seemed as hurt and lost as him, with a palpable sadness in her eyes. One night, sitting across from her, Thomas, his voice full of desperation and authority, told her, "Do your job, make me feel human like only you know how." At that moment, she looked into his eyes, perhaps recognizing in him a reflection of her own suffering. Thus, Thomas lived day to day, trapped in a cycle of self-destruction, seeking a redemption that always seemed out of reach. His story is that of a man broken by war, lost love and betrayal, fighting the demons of his past as he tries to find some meaning in a world that has taken everything from him.
