Character
Glen Mazzara on Tomas:


 * “Tomas is the leader. Tomas is the alpha male. He’s the one who is in charge and he is the one who has set the rules and he did before the apocalypse, he’s been doing that since, and suddenly, here’s Rick telling him, ‘This isn’t even your prison any more.’ Tomas is not going to stand for that.

West Georgia Correctional Facility
Hardly anything is known about Tomas' life before the apocalypse. He was a convicted criminal being held in the prison.

"Seed"
After the apocalypse started, Tomas was locked in a room with Oscar, Andrew, Big Tiny, and Axel. He was found after Daryl Dixon, Rick Grimes, Glenn, T-Dog, Maggie, and Hershel Greene broke open the door to escape walkers. He witnessed the amputation of Hershel's leg.

"Sick"
Rick and his group make an agreement to attain a share of the cafeteria's food in exchange for helping the prisoners clear out a block for themselves. However, Tomas acts increasingly belligerent towards Rick and the others. On the way to clear out their own cell block, he kills Big Tiny, who was scratched by a Walker's wrist bone, without hesitation. Later, when clearing out the cell block, he swings his weapon too close to Rick and tosses a Walker on him, leading Rick to split his head open with his machete, killing him instantly.
