George Thommason

George Thommason is the former director of the FBI's Special Affairs Department.

Overview

Thommason comes from a military background. Trained at the Citadel, he advanced to the rank of Colonel in Vietnam, where he was thrice decorated for valor. Back in the States, he turned his abilities to law enforcement and served in the FBI's homicide division, where he distinguished himself further. It was here that he was confronted with the a case that would change his life forever. Assigned to investigate a serial killer who had eluded the police in six states, Thommason showed a zeal that impressed his superiors, at least until he filed his final report. He claimed that he had been forced to burn the vicious criminal to death because bullets did not seem to harm her. The FBI finally concluded that the culprit must have been on PCP and this was immune to pain. But Thommason knew the truth.

The report came to the attention of Charles Horner, who requested that Thommason be transferred to SAD. After Horner's death, Thommason ran the department aggressively until the Camarilla ousted him.

In the asylum, he has been tormented and driven even more insane, but he still resists in the hope that he might escape. He is only allowed visitors by special permission of the asylum's director, Jeffery Granger. SAD agents require Osbourne's approval to visit him and must have a compelling reason to do so (i.e. as part of an ongoing investigation). Thommason committed some highly questionable acts while director of SAD, but there is no validity to the charges of financial impropriety leveled against him.

Although Thommason can appear lucid for short periods of time and is quite charismatic, he is violently insane. He may turn on even his allies if he is freed.

Image

George Thommason is a large, gray-haired man in his mid-fifties. He looks as tough he has been very fit until just recently. Now he wears a straight jacket at all times so that he cannot endanger himself or others. His voice is steely and determined, but if you listen long enough, you can hear the insanity creeping in. I spite of his words, the look in his eyes is always completely rational.

Special: Thomasson's cell is monitored by Jeffrey Granger. Granger (Thommason's former psychiatrist) drove him insane at the Camarilla's request because he was deemed a threat to the Masquerade. Granger realizes that anyone who visits Thmasson is almost certainly a Special Affairs agent. He will intervene (in a manner consistent with the Masquerade) if anyone tries to free Thomasson.
