History
Tomas was conceived on the eve of his mother’s mate’s death when Sanna grieved in the arms of the Mutari man named Teodor, another devotee of her deity. It wasn’t until Tomas was a young child and developed immature fangs that even Sanna figured out just who the boy’s father really was. As Tomas grew, Sanna did her best to hide the truth of Tomas’s paternity, embarrassed by her weakness and infidelity to her deceased mate. He was always raised to be her dead mate’s son and despite her moving home to the Magda clan compound, Tomas bore the clan name of his “father”. He was also never told who is real father was.
From the time of his birth, Tomas grew up alongside the clan leader’s son Ransom and as the boys grew they came to be best friends. Despite their different paths, Tomas working his way up in the ranks of the Magda infantry and Ransom becoming a Consort, the two were nearly inseparable and got into more than their fair share of trouble (mostly instigated by Tomas). Before even reaching the age of 50, the God Loki summoned Tomas to him and enlisted him into his service but allowed him to remain in the Magda House to continue training as Loki felt Tomas’s best place was on the battlefield.
Before Tomas met Misha he was quite the ladies’ man with a string of one night stands and a few very short relationships. On one or two occasions he’d also almost wound up in the bed of a man but something always came up before it got beyond kissing and heavy petting. And then Misha happened.
Tomas had been competing in the wrestling match at Ransom and Claudio’s mating celebration, had done rather well in fact, but by the evening feast his body was feeling his efforts of the day and he excused himself early. He had fully intended on limping his way back to the barracks and sleeping off the pain but he was waylaid by the much older Consort. Misha directed him back to the Consort’s hall and once their he tended Tomas’s hurts. The young warrior had never found himself the object of a Consort’s attentions and he found it a little strange, especially since Misha was the oldest of the Magda Consorts as well as the leader of the elite group.
Only when Thanos, Ransom’s father and the head of Magda Clan, took Tomas aside and explained why Misha was being so attentive did Tomas actually see what had been going on. All of his other interludes with men had been so fleeting that he hadn’t actually recognized the signs of the older man’s interest in him as more than just a poor injured warrior. Once his eyes were opened by Thanos, Tomas started visiting Misha whenever he had a spare moment and the man who had never had a serious relationship before suddenly found himself more than happy to settle down.
Their mating ceremony followed not too long after Ransom and Claudio’s and their life together was perfect. Until Lorcaine, Thanos’s youngest son, overthrew his father that is. The years that followed were an unspeakable hell for the Consorts, including Misha and Ransom, and it took every ounce of Tomas’s self-control not to kill every single one of Lorcaine’s men that used and abused his mate, best friend, and the other Consorts. Sometimes being a berserker made life seriously difficult.
Instead of acting on his instincts, Tomas watched in horror as Misha took much of the punishment intended for the other Consorts onto himself and when Misha would come home to him, Tomas would tend his wounds like the older man had done for him so many times. After one particularly brutal beating, when Lorcaine discovered that somehow all but two Consorts were gone, Tomas was afraid he was going to lose Misha. There was so much blood that Tomas’s thirst for it roared to life for the first time since he’d gotten it under control as a youth. But instead of drinking from Misha like his Mutari heritage demanded, he did something strange, something he’d never even though to try before. He fed the older man –his- blood and then he watched in shock as Misha’s wounds began to heal.
Once his mate was in stable condition, Tomas enlisted the help of Ransom’s other brother Remmie, in smuggling Misha away from Lorcaine. He sent a letter along for Misha to read when he finally awoke from his drug induced sleep explaining why he had done what he’d done and that he needed to keep Ransom, the closest thing to a brother he had, alive. In the letter he also promised to see Misha again. Knowing that Misha was now safe, and armed with the knowledge of just how he’d be able to keep Ransom alive no matter how bad the beating (sharing his own blood), Tomas had full faith that he would follow through on his promise.
Once Misha was safe, things only got worse for Ransom and the guilt Tomas felt for saving his mate and not his best friend nearly ended him more than once. It was only his promises to keep Ransom safe and see Misha again that brought him through. Even so, Tomas had a limit. After nearly 50 years of pure hell watching his best friend suffer purely because he was Lorcaine’s older brother, Tomas couldn’t sit by any longer. Instead of attacking Lorcaine like Ransom’s mate Claudio had before being killed, he started rumors and whispers, hinting that the deLorme Clan was vulnerable. Tomas knew that to not be true, the deLorme Clan had never been stronger than under Lord Darius’s rule. Anybody that was able to think with anything other than their ambition for power would have known it too. Lorcaine was not that person and when the hints and rumors reached him, the fool acted on them. He challenged Darius deLorme was utterly defeated. All those loyal to Lorcaine were killed or imprisoned. Those loyal to Thanos, and now Ransom, were finally freed.
Even once they were free from Lorcaine, Tomas stayed with or near Ransom always ready and able to protect him at the first hint of danger. Only after 25 years of being free from Lorcaine, and with Ransom finally safe body and heart with a young man who seemed oddly familiar to Tomas, was news given to Tomas by the same man who’d helped him smuggle Misha to safety that his mate had been located. Misha was alive and well, and still waiting for Tomas. Tomas just hoped that Misha could still love the man he had become while keeping Ransom alive.
