The predecessor to Dyas Dearborn, Thomas Marroway was born in a small Alvoskian village of Aryn that bordered the Tygani River, with a younger and an older brother. As an adolescent, he loved photography, and photographed the river, and all the places he travelled over his life. As a young man he fell in love with the Infran of the Moon, Clara Clinton I (who’s granddaughter of the same name would one day become Head of the Order), although his feelings were not returned and the two remained good friends. He lived a very long, if relatively uneventful, life. He outlived his friends and became close with the next generation of Infrans to follow, meeting and mentoring all of them except for his own reincarnation. Thomas died in 5,557 on route to visit his surviving younger brother, near the city of Joshin.
