Tomas Hogarth

Illustration of Tomas Hogarth, from Breedbook: Ananasi.

Tomas Hogarth is a Gaderin Jeweller. If you need a unique piece of jewelry, or want information on the past, there is only one person to ask: Tomas Hogarth. One of the oldest and most recognized talents among the Ananasi, this jeweler has been known to be alive since the early 1600s at least, and is the creator of the Ruby Eye of Tomas. In all that time, he has kept close track of each current owner of that famous Fylfot. Hogarth appears to be an ancient man, easily in his eighties.

Despite his frail appearance, he is still quite healthy and strong, and has been known to fight off attackers by himself without difficulty. Hogarth has used at least four different bodies throughout time, and everyone expects him to transfer to another one sometime soon. He has created some of the most unique rings, necklaces, and bracelets that the world has ever seen — and a few of them have made it into the hands of others.

Hogarth has a collection of gems and jewels that would put the crown of England to shame, and he has no intentions of giving them up. This obsession has made him a bit vulnerable to bribery, but only from other Ananasi — he does have a reputation to uphold. Hogarth does not travel very often, preferring his home in Brussels to anywhere else. As one would expect from any Ananasi that has lived four hundred years, he is capable in almost every manner. He has also made many friends both inside and outside of spider society, and is recognized as one of the true spokesmen and ambassadors of the Ananasi. ^[1]
