Biography: Not much is known about Thomas Bane except that he was a founding member of one of the most hated stables in the Universal Wrestling Corporation in the form of the “Dominion” and that he was trained by the infamous Marcus Alexander Slayton at his wrestling school in Cameron North Carolina.

Bane was often used as the faction’s “hitter”, someone that was quick and skilled enough to take out someone that was usually a problem for Devon Slayton, the leader of the faction, or he was oftentimes used as a handler of Celes Dumont during her time with that faction. But when both the Dominion and UWC finally collapsed, Bane struck out on his own and soon became a member of the second version of the Shinigami Foundation in the World Wrestling Headquarters One Wrestle Movement promotions, often tagging with David Belmont or Alex Slayer before both wrestlers had to leave the sport under various “reasons” before finally Bane was asked to return to the World Wrestling Headquarters, but this time with his former tag team partner in David Gibson by his side as the latest version of the Foundation alongside faction head Jacob Striker.

Character

Nickname(s): n/a
Gimmick: Survival. In most people it is an instinct, a desire to continue but in the case of this man, it is a damn superpower as Naito as his matches don't build toward certain victories: He suffers, he endures, and sometimes he comes out on top but the one thing that is for certain is that Thomas is dedicated to two things: Chaos and the FIGHT. Trained by one of the toughest taskmasters in professional wrestling, if not *THE* toughest-Thomas has been called the prodigy of the so called "Godfather of Violence" in that he took to wrestling like a duck to water as his work ethic is second to none, always adapting and improving as he proves his worth as an asset to the industry, but his exact motives are unclear.

He acts and moves much like his mentor, even walking to the ring with that same signature confident swagger that the Reaver did in his youth-but unlike his predecessor, he is a leaner and more hungry kind of predator.
