Thorn (Arnold Wright)'s Links
Thorn at current is terrified of "Cuddles", even though it seems to be sworn to protect him.
"Cuddles" is dedicated to protecting Thorn, as he is the holder of its phylactery, and gave it a name. The two will eventually work very well together. Interestingly, it seems the revenant sometimes tries to live up to its name - much to the chagrin of Thorn.
Thorn doesn't entirely trust Tenebris - despite later being 'mentored' by him.
Once discovering that Thorn possesses the Silver One (who has been renamed to Silver Death-Knight by Thorn), Tenebris is deeply envious. Despite his envy, Tenebris desires to take charge of Thorn's career, to direct and train both Thorn and Cuddles into becoming a new gladiator team on the scene of revenant fighting.
Despite being civil, trying to make friendly conversation and acting as if nothing is wrong, Thorn is completely aware of Silas' distrust, and senses the animosity oozing off of him.
There's something off about Thorn and Silas is determined to get to the bottom of it. Silas can't help but wonder if Tenebris' interest in the revenant in Thorn's possession has clouded his judgment, or worse, if Thorn is aware of this and plans to use it to his advantage. Regardless, Silas plans to keep a close eye on Thorn, and his revenant, at all times.
Having just discovered revenants himself, Thorn sympathizes with Brody's fear of the entities. Unlike with Tenebris' other 'rescues', it appears that Thorn gets along with Brody quite well, and feels no abrasiveness coming from him.
Despite having been friends for many years, Thorn doesn't seek support from Gianna when unsure if "Cuddles" is real. This is due to him not wanting to be seen as crazy if everything is just his own delusion, and also because Thorn doesn't want to put Gianna in potential danger. Gianna has always been the tough friend that was willing to help him through anything, though if monsters were real all bets were off.
Having been friends for years, Gianna was quickly able to tell something was off about Thorn, and he wasn't able to hide the source of his distress from her for very long. To the conflicted surprise of Thorn, Gianna knew exactly what "Cuddles" was. After realizing the revenant posed no threat, Gianna let Thorn in on the underground and offered to take him to the next match to watch.
Not having seen much more than a glimpse of Alessio moving away from him, Thorn isn't sure what to think of the enigmatic man just yet. Judging by Brody's stories, however, Thorn is perfectly fine with Alessio keeping his distance.
No different from his typical reaction to any other new arrival, Alessio doesn't appear to be thinking about approaching Thorn just yet. Unusually, Alessio seems to be showing a particular interest where the newcomer is concerned, and even dismissed Silas' suspicions regarding the man, saying that he'll "keep an eye on this one" himself.
