Thomas Richards

Thomas Richards is a character from the Walking Dead comic books series. He is one of the four criminals who were in the prison Rick Grimes and his group arrived in. During the time the group spent in the prison, Thomas murdered Susie and Rachel Greene. When he was discovered to be the killer, he was locked up in a cell but was released by Patricia, who thought he wasn't crazy and evil. He then attacked and attempted to kill Patricia, but was shot and killed by Maggie Greene. His body was then thrown into hoardes of zombies who tear it apart. In the Tv series, his name is changed to Tomas and he is the leader of the five convicts in the prison and develops a hatred of Rick once he planned to take over the prison for his group. During a fight with the walkers, one of the prisoners is deeply scratched by a walker, and Tomas shows how dangerous he could be by ruthlessly bashing the prisoner's head in. After that, Rick plans to kill Tomas, unawre that he has overheard his conversation with Daryl over it. During another run-in with the walkers, Tomas tries to kill Rick, but Rick makes it through his assasination attempts. This ends with Rick slamming his machete through Tomas' head, killing him.
