Character Information
Name: Thomas Raith
Canon: the Dresden Files
Canon Point: Post Backup Novella (takes place between Small Favor and Turn Coat)
Age: 41; appears Mid 20s (Thanks, Demon)

(canon) background: wiki is awesome!

abilities:

When Thomas isn't tapping into the Hunger, he is still super-humanly strong, agile, and fast, can heal very quickly, and see in the dark. He's skilled in the use of kukris (large, curved knives) and shotguns. Much to many peoples' surprise, he's highly intelligent and capable of acting quickly in tense situations. He's also a hairstylist.

The Hunger, which must be fed regularly through either sipping at human psyches or through the act of sex, increases all his preternatural skills, but it's very taxing on his reserves. Because Thomas refuses to feed through sex, his reserves are lower than the usual white court vampire, and he doesn't use them if he doesn't have to. They allow him to regrow appendages. He can also extend psychic tendrils into the minds of potential prey, convincing them that what he wants from them they want to give, and can inspire the unbridled desire and lust in them. His demon makes him supernaturally beautiful and he's always surrounded by an aura of desire that makes women and men both follow him around when he's hungry.

His greatest strength, the Hunger, is also his greatest weakness. While other vampires are vulnerable to sunlight, holy water, crosses, and objects of faith, white court vampires are burned by the touch of one protected by selfless love. It burns them just like an acid.

He's no wizard, but he can cast a few of the simpler spells, he's trained as a hair stylist, is a strategist, and is particularly good at making a quick exit.

Personality:

Thomas is cunning, adaptive, resourceful, and a gifted actor. He uses those gifts in various instances and situations, both to get his way and to keep people around him from knowing things he doesn’t want them to know. Those things can be as simple as keeping them from knowing exactly how smart he is or as complex as hiding exactly whose side he’s on. His personas are as varied as the people he’s deceiving, and they’re not mutually exclusive. Thomas’ deceptions leave even the person closest to him, his half-brother Harry Dresden, guessing as to what he’s up to.

To his family, he appears to be a flippant pretty-boy, incapable of anything except feeding, carousing, and carrying on in one form or another. Before his sister Lara’s less-than-hostile takeover of the House, his carelessness and lack of intelligence was so well known and detested that he was often sent in his father’s stead for various invitations where insult to the inviting party was intended. Thomas always hated being used in such a manner, of course, and would make the insult even worse by varying means. He was sent to respond to an invitation sent by Bianca St. Claire, for instance, and he chose to ally himself, though subversively, with Harry (who also wasn’t exactly liked at the party). Later, he was sent to be Duke Ortega of the Red Court’s second in a dual against Harry Dresden. He showed up intoxicated in more than one respect and wearing a Buffy the Vampire Slayer t-shirt.

Thomas’ alliance with Harry at the party, and the fact that he met with Harry secretly before the dual to inform him that it was rigged, stem from his unerring loyalty to his family. Thomas would lay down his life for Harry and expend even the last dregs of his energy to keep him safe. In all honesty, he’d lay down his life for any member of his family, save his father, and that aspect of his personality is one of his defining characteristics. That fact is also one of his most closely guarded secrets, though it’s well known to only a few (namely his eldest sister, Lara, and Harry himself).

He detests his demonic side, knowing that its thirst for the life-force of humans is unending and insatiable, but also knowing that feeding it is unavoidable. After he drained Justine to the point of death and was cast out of his family’s holding by Lara, he lived with Harry for a while, trying to get by on single encounters with random people, and barely sating the Hunger. He learned from his experience with Justine that, no matter how much he, the human side, may yearn for a loving, caring relationship, the demon inside him would always keep that from happening. What he did to Justine keeps him in charge of the demon inside, though, giving him the strength of resolve he needs to keep it in the cage he’s built for it in his thoughts, lest he let it have its way, and there be nothing left of him.

To keep Justine safe both from his family and from things she need not know, he would often use the power his demon had over her to distract her and keep her from asking questions. He’s learned now, having spoken to her without the influence of the Hunger, that he barely knows her, having never let her just be herself, and that fact makes him hate his demonic side all the more. It’s because of his secrecy around her that not even his love truly knows him. The only person who really does is his brother, Harry. He lived with Harry for a time, after Lara kicked him out of the house, and Harry has seen the darkest parts of his personality. Harry knows exactly how much Thomas hates what he is and hates even more the fact that there is no controlling it.

Harry is often subjected to Thomas’ crass and sarcastic humor as well, because of their closeness. Thomas is much like Harry in his banter, though unlike his younger brother, he knows when to shut up and get serious. In contrast to how he portrays himself to the outside world, in private Thomas is knowledge, capable, caring, loyal, and stubborn to a fault.

• The hairtie his hair's currently pulled back with
• An iPhone

Which of the following would they most like to have in abundance: limitless good luck, the freedom to act without restraint, the ability to teach and to learn, or for everyone to just relax? The freedom to act without restraint
