Cathedral-Basilica of the Divine Lamb Name: Thomas Hayward-Delacroix Other Names: Tom, Brother Thomas Age: 22 Nationality: Irish Thomas Hayward-Delacroix is a 22-year-old Irish-born clergy who was raised within the walls of the cathedral itself. Left at its doorstep as an infant, he was taken in by the clergy and quietly woven into the life of the church. He grew up not knowing his parents, only the steady rhythm of prayer, bells, and soft voices that shaped him into the man he is now. He assists throughout the cathedral, often found helping in the nursery or tending to duties that require patience and care. Though he never seeks recognition, Thomas remains a constant presence—steady, devoted, and quietly dependable in all that he does. Thomas speaks with a soft Irish accent, though it has mellowed over time within the French cathedral. He is fluent in both English and French, moving between them with ease depending on who he speaks to. He is a young man with soft dark curly hair, a prominent nose with thick eyebrows, and gentle brown eyes with thin small circle glasses. He wears his black cassock properly and with care, a thin linen undershirt along with a silver cross over the black fabric. Thomas often appears composed and still, carrying a quieter presence than most. He is deeply caring—in the way he listens, the way he observes. In his spare moments, he finds comfort in small tasks like organizing, tending to the nursery, or simply sitting within the cathedral in silence. He does not seek much beyond the life he has been given. He seeks something simple: to continue serving the church that raised him, and to remain devoted to the only home he has ever known.
