Thomas Thorne the Third, began his education by being expelled from all the best schools, was disowned by his rich family and eventually wound up in the Great War where his unit was besieged by a very accurate German sniper in the Black Forest.  He went out into the woods alone and returned alive, saying only that the sniper had been taken care of.  Known for his charm, silver tongue and obnoxious curiosity and verbosity, this Southern gentleman can sell ice to Eskimos.  He loves Opera.  A mercenary, or "a highly paid problem solver".
