Profile[]
Appearance[]
Thomas Chestershire is a fairly tall stick figure who wears two grey monocles, dark blue shoes, and a tall, black top hat.
Personality[]
Thomas is known for his loyalty to his current Leader. He shows acceptance to Henry in Toppat 4 Life, Toppat King and actively supports Henry in Toppat Civil Warfare.
Infiltrating the Airship[]
Thomas appears in "Rapidly Promoted Executive"/"Relentless Bounty Hunter" and "Pure Blooded Thief" paths.
Pure Blooded Thief[]
In "Pure Blooded Thief," he only makes a short appearance during the fight between the Toppats and the Government. Thomas is seen standing behind to Quickdraw and Mr. Brimley on the battlefield. Thomas manages to evacuate the battlefield and survives the war as he makes a cameo appearance in a later path that takes place in the same timeline, which means that he also survived the airship raid in all three endings that follow from this path.
Rapidly Promoted Executive/Relentless Bounty Hunter[]
Thomas, as well as Oldmin, after being knocked out by Henry's cannonball.
In "Rapidly Promoted Executive"/"Relentless Bounty Hunter," he is standing in the cockpit of the Airship, discussing a clipboard held by Oldmin, when Henry suddenly breaks into the airship using a Cannon Ball, knocking out both Thomas and Oldmin. Thomas can later be seen near Henry's ball without his hat, revealing that he is bald. His glasses are broken. In that path, he is presumably badly injured, but not killed, as in the same timeline, he later appears in Fleeing the Complex, doing the exact same job.
Fleeing the Complex[]
Thomas makes a cameo in "The Betrayed," where he can be seen on board the Airship. When Henry calls Reginald Copperbottom to request the Toppats help him break out of The Wall, Thomas turns around and looks at him in shock as he is surprised about Henry's whereabouts.
Completing the Mission[]
Thomas returns as either an ally or enemy to Henry, depending on the route taken.
Toppat Civil Warfare[]
Thomas and Henry's Faction of the Toppats opposing Ellie's Main Faction of the Toppats.
Thomas and Geoffrey are the only Toppats who object to Henry's removal after abandoning Ellie Rose and leaving her at The Wall. As a result, the Right Hand Man locks them in The Brig. Henry inadvertedly frees Dave Panpa, and they team up to defeat Floyd Winters. He then frees Thomas and Geoffrey, who proposes 3 plans:
- [X] The Good Gents: Henry and the others attempt to invade the cockpit, only for Geoffrey and him to be killed by Right Hand Man's eye laser, leaving Dave and Thomas shocked.
- [X] Midnight Surprise: Thomas, Geoffrey, and Dave rig the airship with explosives, preparing to detonate them by midnight. However, Geoffrey neglected potential escape routes for his team and triggered the explosives while they are still on the ship, killing them as well.
- Deuces!: Geoffrey opens an escape pod, prompting the three others to enter. The pod leaves the ship, inadvertedly killing Reginald and Right Hand Man before landing in the desert, Thomas makes a note of the impact by asking what it was, but Geoffrey shrugs it off.
The escape pod lands, leaving Thomas and the rest stuck in the desert. He presumably continues to back Henry.
Toppat 4 Life[]
Thomas is seen after Henry reaches the Toppat Launch Site and near the end of the route with a few other Toppats.
Toppat King[]
During Reginald's monologue, Thomas is seen holding a pistol.
Toppat Recruits[]
Thomas, alongside many other Toppat Clan members, attend the recruitment ceremony of Henry and Ellie.
Master Bounty Hunter[]
Thomas is seen with Wallace Dagwood and an Unknown Toppat as they are getting arrested by Government soldiers Calvin and Konrad Bukowski.
Relationships[]
Henry Stickmin[]
Thomas, for the most part, is shown to be a very close and loyal ally to Henry in any pathway where he is part of the Toppat Clan. Chestershire even shows support for Stickmin after he not only knocked him out with his cannonball in Post-RPE paths but stole the Romanian Ruby and caused the Airship to crash which could've killed him in PBT. In "Toppat Recruits", Thomas seems to be an ally to Henry as he happily attends his and Ellie's recruit ceremony and is one of the few known Toppats accepting of their presence in the Clan.
In Post "Rapidly Promoted Executive" paths, Thomas becomes one of Henry's most loyal allies as he expresses that Henry is a great leader. This is first shown in "The Betrayed" path where he shows shock in discovering Henry's whereabouts, his bio for FtC even states how he's been upset that Henry has been missing and how he enjoyed Henry's brief period of leadership. Chestershire is also on great terms with Henry in the "Toppat King" and "Toppat 4 Life" paths.
However, Thomas' true loyalty to Henry is proven in "Toppat Civil Warfare" where he and Geoffrey Plumb remain loyal to Henry even when the entirety of the Airship Division betrays him for his actions in "Ghost Inmate" path, causing he and Geoffrey to be locked inside the brig. Later on, he joins Henry with Dave and Geoffrey, fighting for him against the rest of the Toppats.
Thomas is an enemy to Henry in any Post-RBH and Post-GSPI routes. He would also presumably be against him in "Jewel Baron" and "Pardoned Pals".
Thomas is shown to think somewhat highly of Henry in Post-RPE paths as he enjoys Henry's leadership. In TR Thomas seems to be a mere ally to Henry as he is shown to enjoy his company.
Ellie Rose[]
Thomas' relationship with Ellie depends on the path chosen. During the "Toppat Recruits" path, Ellie is an ally of Thomas as he seems to be on good terms with her and happily attends her recruit ceremony. While not shown in "Toppat King", it is most certain than Thomas would be on good terms with Ellie as she is loyal to the Toppats and is Henry's Right Hand Lady.
However, Thomas is an unseen enemy to Ellie and Pardoned Pals and Capital Gains (he wouldn't know who Ellie is in Triple Threat) as she is against the Toppats in those pathways and intends harm against them. In "Toppat Civil Warfare", Thomas is a mortal enemy to her as he sides with the person who ditched her to rot after she helped him escape the wall and this is made clear through the end screen of the path where Ellie is shown to be an enemy to everybody in Henry's Squad.
Right Hand Man[]
While he and Right Hand Man are presumably allies in every other pathway, it is made clear in TCW that they are enemies as the RHM without hesitation commands for someone to send Chestershire to the brig for simply supporting Henry even after most of the Clan see him in a negative light, especially the Right Hand Man. This presumably prompts Thomas' hostility, although the RHM was killed by the escape pod Thomas was in before they could meet again.
Geoffrey Plumb[]
Thomas and Geoffrey are both shown to be friends as they are both Toppat Clan members and both seem to continue to support Henry Stickmin as the Clan leader in "Toppat 4 Life" and specifically in "Toppat Civil Warfare" where they both team up alongside Henry and Dave.
Dave Panpa[]
Dave and Thomas don't interact, and so very little information is known between them, as they are only allied in Toppat Civil Warfare.
Floyd Winters[]
Though their relationship is unknown in all other paths, in "Toppat Civil Warfare" they are both enemies as Winters locks him up in the brig for supporting Henry even after he was exposed as a bad leader by Reginald Copperbottom. Whether Floyd was just following commands from the Right Hand Man or not, it's clear that he and Thomas are enemies in this path not only would Thomas feel betrayed by him but would also join an enemy faction of the Clan.
Quotes[]
Infiltrating the Airship[]
Relentless Bounty Hunter/Rapidly Promoted Executive (Off-screen Government Supported Private Investigator, Pure Blooded Thief)[]
- "Ah yes, let me have a look."
Completing the Mission[]
Toppat Civil Warfare[]
- "Why are we doing this?"
- "I thought Henry was a pretty good leader."
- "What was that?"
Trivia[]
- He along with Rhounda Pounda, Mr. Skyscraper, Sir Hatty and Alfonsho Cruz are the Toppats with the tallest hats. Thomas' top hat is the tallest of all members in the clan with Mr. Skyscraper coming at a close second.
- Even though Henry crashed into the Airship with the Cannon Ball in Relentless Bounty Hunter/Rapidly Promoted Executive and was hit by him in Infiltrating the Airship, he, for some reason, still supports Henry in Toppat Civil Warfare, an ending that continues from this path. This is yet to be explained.
- Thomas may have been knocked out on impact and failed to notice Henry.
- Henry somehow gained Thomas' respect after taking over as the new Toppat leader.
- For whatever reason, his hat appears significantly shorter in FtC than he does in ItA and CtM. This is most likely due to the angle he was shown in.
- When Thomas wears two monocles, it somehow indicates the presence of Professor Z, who is voiced by Thomas Kretschmann. However, the only difference is he only wears one.
- He is one of the 3 Toppat clan members to appear in 3 games, along with Reginald Copperbottom and Wilhelm Krieghaus.
- He is also the only one to not have a rarity of 1 star in all his bios.
