Thomas Abernathy

Thomas Abernathy was a trained assassin who later joined the Oracle group. Abernathy was modelled after an ally of Enishi Yukishiro from the Rurouni Kenshin series, Heishin Woo, as well as one of the seven deadly sins. His sin is sloth, as he prefers not to take action and spends most of his time lounging around until he is made to do something.

Abernathy is the second youngest member of the Black Dragon team after Souji Okita and is originally from Wales. His lack of drive and motivation as a child led him to become a subpar student and he was unable to further his education, instead being forced to leave home with little hope for a future. Through sheer luck, he discovered a relic in a hidden cave while roaming through the forests of Wales: a golden disk which according to the writings left with it contained magical properties. The disk allowed him to conjure soldiers donned in glowing golden armor called Dogu who obeyed his commands. Abernathy took advantage of them and used the Dogu as servants to attend to his every need. Although he never revealed his prized possession to anyone, he was one day approached by Oracle and recruited with the promise of a lifetime of excellent living with little work in exchange for using the Dogu for their purposes. Abernathy had no problem accepting the offer, though he later discovered he would have to do more work than had initially been suggested. In December of 2004, Abernathy was sent to Tokyo, Japan with the Angry Alter Ego and the rest of the Black Dragon team. He followed his leader to Kyoto where they waited until Adam Evans, the Creator, and his group arrived in the city. He waited at Nijo Castle, doing nothing but lying around, napping, or polishing his relic. When Adam and the others arrived at Nijo Castle on Christmas Eve, Abernathy was sent to hold them off. Instead, he offered to allow Adam through alone so as to avoid a fight. When the group refused, Abernathy began summoning an endless stream of Dogu to fight his enemies. He was beaten after Diatyallah Gatti used her magic to sneak close enough to Abernathy to disable him, after which the disk was destroyed by Adam and the Dogu were destroyed. Abernathy admitted defeat and was killed by The Baggins as he appeared to fight the Creator and Cody Moon.
