Thomas Dermantery

Thomas Vincent Gordon Dermantery (1921-1999) was the penultimate Grandmaster of The Sages' Legacy between 1954 and 1999. Under his stewardship the First and Second Wizarding Wars took place, while sympathising to the cause of the Order of the Phoenix would not join the conflict unless the Order of Morgana joined the conflict on the side of Lord Voldemort. He was also noted for expanding the Legacy's influence beyond the United Kingdom as well as leading the Legacy to their first decisive win over the Order in over three hundred years in April 1978. The weight placed on his shoulders did ultimately result in him reaching an early grave. At his urging prior to his death in office his daughter Annabelle Dermantery was nominated his successor as Grandmaster, a post she took up on her father's death.

Trivia

 * Thomas' character is heavily inspired by Odin from the Marvel Comics and MCU, both in his personality and in the way he thinks.
 * Another comparison can be drawn between Odin and Thomas, not too long after their deaths the very thing they were trying to protect soon falters being Asgard and the Sages' Legacy respectively.
 * Thomas' deepest fear, the fall of the Sages' Legacy came to pass after his death. However because of his fear he was able to save some of their ideals through the international subgroups he ordered to be set up.
 * If he had not been bound by the Sages' Legacy, Thomas would have actively supported the Order of the Phoenix in both wizarding wars.
 * Thomas was originally going to be alive in the series and play an advisory role to the then unnamed Grandmaster and pass away in book 3 however this was changed so that he died in the years prior to the series.
 * Unlike his daughter, Thomas trusted Moira Flanagan entirely. Her abilities as a seer always played into his decision making.
 * While he suspected artifacts still remained at Hogwarts he did not desire to alert the Order of Morgana to this fact as he feared that the school would become a battleground. After the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998 his resolve strengthened not to bring Hogwarts into the conflict.
