Lore & Background
Thomas, known in the source as Lionel, is a philanthropist who co-created the Spark Generators with Mina a decade ago. He stayed on Tenebrous Isle to become its leader in the capital, Ossex. When the generators began to malfunction, he summoned Mina to fix them. However, the source reveals that Lionel was aware of the generators' harmful effects and had been burning letters of warning from Thorne. He manipulated events, convincing guests that Mina was behind the troubles, and ultimately transformed into a monster after revealing he had controlled the Spark's power and was the creature that attacked Mina's ship. His actions led to chaos on the island, with Mina blamed for his death and the generators' destruction.
Reader's Guide
Thomas (Lionel) is a key non-playable character in Mina the Hollower. Players interact with him primarily through story sequences. He provides the initial quest to fix the six dulled generators. Later, he becomes an antagonist. At the dinner scene, players can influence the story: if Mina avoids committing any crime that could be mentioned, she can join Lionel in an alternate ending, where he tells her Thorne's rebellion was crushed. Otherwise, the main path leads to a boss fight against Lionel in his manor. He transforms into a monster and fights Mina as she climbs the manor, with Thorne briefly assisting. The final confrontation occurs at the core generator, which Mina destroys to defeat Lionel. His defeat triggers the game's epilogue, where Mina is blamed for his death and the generators' destruction.
