Brother Thomas (named Brother Andrew, Brother Simon, Brother James or Brother Matthew before Emogene Takes a Lover) is the leader of the "Pillars of the Community" cult located at the Charles View Amphitheater in Boston in 2287.

Background

Upon speaking to him he will try to convince the Sole Survivor to join the the Pillars of the Community on the condition that they give him everything they own. If the player character goes through with it, Thomas will act surprised, subtly revealing that the entire thing is a charade. He will then tell the player about level one of the cult, saying for the player to repeat the phrase "I deserve a better life. A better life is coming. A better life is almost here". Afterwards he will say to keep repeating the phase until it is truly believed, then the player will be ready for level two. Thomas goes on to say that the player will know they are level two when good things start happening to them.

This will leave the player without any items except key or quest items. The player character may break into the back storage room of the office to retrieve their items but doing so will result in Thomas and his followers becoming hostile.

If the player asks about changing their mind on joining the cult before being led into the office, Thomas will say there is no obligation to join though they have yet to have a member leave the organization. If the player changes their mind while talking to Thomas in the office, Thomas will say the player character is past backing out and must give him all of their stuff. This brings up the option to threaten him on allowing them to walk out. If successful, Thomas will allow the player to walk out peacefully. If not, Thomas and all his followers will turn hostile and attack.

Quests

Emogene Takes a Lover - it is revealed Brother Thomas tried to talk to customers of The Third Rail in Goodneighbor. He was eventually thrown out by Ham, but not before he could talk to Emogene Cabot and take her with him. He tried to talk her into joining his cult. But when she refused he locked her up. When the Sole Survivor encounters him, he tries to shove it off and say she's busy and that they are having relationship problems. He is then persuaded or killed, after which Emogene is 'rescued'.

Notes

• If the player does not currently have the quest Emogene Takes a Lover, then Thomas will not be at the Amphitheater. Instead, an identical NPC named either Andrew, James, Matthew, or Simon will be there in his place. They are essentially the same person, but the name Thomas won't appear until the quest is started.
• If the player bribes him with 500 caps to see Emogene, those caps cannot be retrieved, even if you kill him.
• If one kills the cult leader before taking on Emogene Takes a Lover, when he/she threatens Thomas to free Emogene they will reply "I killed your previous leader and I don't mind doing the same to you".
• If you give Thomas your weapons and immediately attack him, he will use your weapons to attack you and use any stimpaks you had. So the best bet is to store any good weapons and drugs at a stronghold.
