History: Born to a pair of adventurers, Thomas grew up listening to his mother's many stories. While he appears to be a normal Human, he's... not quite right. Perhaps he's slightly insane, or otherwise so mentally alien to the rest of the world that he plain doesn't fit in. During his travels, Thomas and his party rested in a cavern that was (unknown to them) infused with powerful dark magic. Upon awakening, Thomas discovered the rest of his party dead, transformed into horrible, mindless undead versions of their former selves. Thomas fled the cavern, stopping for breath at a small pool, and only then realizing his own horrible transformation.
