Thomas Moore

Thomas Moore was the Mayor of Mineral Town. He was born into the Moore family, a relative newcomer to Mineral Town. He is the middle of three children. His wife Emily Moore was from a far away city. He has one son, Harris Moore.

Pre-Game of Towns
Thomas was raised in Mineral Town along with his older sister Samantha and Sasha. His parents had immigrated from a distant city, but only Samantha was born in the city. He initially became a police officer and served in the Stanton War along with Edward Starling. Edward trusted Thomas and made him chief of police of Mineral Town, eventually making him his chief deputy.

Thomas married a woman named Emily from a distant city and had one son, Harris. Emily died in childbirth.

Game of Towns
As deputy mayor, Thomas takes the lead of the Game of Towns controversy. He initially supports Anna Randolph over Manna Standish because he does not trust Duke Standish. After the death of Sarah Haverford, Thomas appoints Harris to investigate the death. When Harris discovers that Sarah was investigating the diary of her father Billings Dempsey, he also finds that the diary contains information revealing that Manna and Anna are not the true daughters of Edward Starling, but the product of an affair between Billings Dempsey and Lucia Starling.

Initially, Thomas does not think it matters as the women were raised by Edward as his own daughters, but Duke Standish panics and attempts to take the Mayorship by force. This leads to a war between Thomas Moore and his allies against Duke Standish and his allies. Basil and Anna initially support Thomas thinking that the defeat of Duke would lead to Anna's ascension as Mayor, however once Duke is captured, he works out a deal that would pardon Duke if Duke's supporters vote to make him Mayor.

When the Aldermen vote, Thomas Moore is made Mayor of Mineral Town and Duke is pardoned, angering Basil and Anna, who believes Anna should be Mayor, and Gotz Williams, who wants revenge against Duke for killing his wife and daughter. Later, Gotz kills Duke by throwing a pitchfork through his throat and beating his head until death. After Gotz's revenge killing, he flees to Forget-Me-Not Valley to join Murrey Starling's army along with Basil and Anna.

Heir By Iron
Gotz is initially an advisor to Romana Hawthorne in the War of Town and Valley, however, when Jon Takakura wins a battle against Zack DeWitt, who became the leader of the Mineral Town Forces after betraying the former commander Rod McArthur, Gotz rebels, killing Murrey, Romana, Basil, and Sebastian Ramsey.

After allowing Lumina Hawthorne and Rock Ricardo to escape, he returns to Mineral Town and Thomas reinstates him as Warden of the Wood.

Thomas appoints Rod McArthur leader of his forces until Rod is killed by Zack DeWitt, who is in love with Rod's wife, Lilia McArthur. Thomas then replaces Zack with Gotz who is able to corner Takakura, who surrenders. Taking his surrender, Thomas makes Takakura the Warden of Forget-Me-Not Valley. Thomas then becomes aware that Muffy Fuller plans to challenge his mayorship. He appoints Takakura and Marlin Kimball to stop her, which they do successfully, though Marlin regathers Muffy's army for his own purposes.

War for Winter
Later, in the Winter War, Thomas leads and expedition into the Wood to find who killed Lumina and Rock. The Moore Posse includes Gotz William, Harris Moore, Doug Haverford, and Jeff Allister. They discover that Lumina and Rock were killed by Mukumuku s who suddenly emerge from a cave killing both Thomas and Jeff. Harris, Gotz, and Doug retreat to the town to warn them of the coming threat.
