• Shoulder-length silver hair, often unkempt

Father Thomas is no ordinary priest. He knows too much.

For years, he has served as the guardian of ancient secrets, buried beneath the veil of religion. His sermons speak of salvation, but his whispers in the confessional tell of something else—dark forces, old rituals, and a war between faith and an entity he dares not name.

He has witnessed things no man should. His belief in God is strong, but his fear of something else is stronger. He knows that the Black Doors are not a myth—they are real, and they are opening.

When Mike Walker begins his investigation, Father Thomas is one of the few who will speak to him—reluctantly. He warns Mike in cryptic riddles, never revealing too much, but enough to make it clear:

“There are things in this world that do not fear God, Mr. Walker. But you should fear them.”

• Mike Walker: A reluctant informant, giving Mike cryptic warnings about what lies ahead.
   
• Sister Madeline: Once his closest confidante, now wary of him as he strays too close to knowledge forbidden by the Church.
   
• Bordeaux: Knows of Bordeaux’s existence but refuses to speak of him directly, fearing what might happen if he acknowledges the truth.
   

Father Thomas is one of the few who understand the true nature of the Black Doors, but his knowledge comes at a price. As Mike digs deeper, the priest grows more distant and paranoid, warning him that some doors should never be opened.

And then, one night, Father Thomas disappears.

His Bible is found open, pages torn and covered in strange symbols. His crucifix is left behind, twisted as if burned by unseen hands.

The last words he ever spoke to Mike still echo in his mind:

“They are listening.”

Would you like a scene of Mike meeting Father Thomas for the first time, or perhaps a flashback to one of his past encounters with the Black Doors?
