Page "Suikoden III" Paragraph 24

* Thomas, a young minor noble from the northern lands, has two chapters which become available once his castle is visited by the other main characters.

After a visit from his illegitimate son Thomas, the Zexen Council member Lowma desires to rid himself of the embarrassment by appointing Thomas as master of the poor and rundown Budehuc castle.

To revitalize the castle, Thomas decides to rent out land to potential store owners in order to earn money and promote commerce.

With the help of the castle's staff, Thomas travels and recruits Stars of Destiny.

However, flouting the Zexen regulations eventually brings trouble upon Budehuc.

If the Thomas chapters are not completed by the time the third chapter for each other character has completed, they become unavailable, and Thomas and his acquaintances join the Stars of Destiny in Chapter 4.
