Thomas Walters

Thomas Walters is a main character in The University, and the current dean of ESTD.

Personality
Thomas used to be a very well kept and intellectual man, with a slight hint of idiocy to him. However now Thomas is a very sad and timid individual, mainly due to the loss of his wife Lucinda in season 1. He has an overwealming hatrid for milkmen, and has a strange obsession with butter thanks to Colt's counciling (as seen in S1,E7: The Trouble with Mascots). He has trouble handling stressful or new situations, and often makes terrible jokes to cover for this.

History
In his early years, Thomas was an avid dancer. It is said that he was trained by a man named Keith Edie, who would constantly nag him about not being able to nail the plie. It is also stated that in his youth he used to have a dog whom he grew quite fond of, before it's death brought him into a state of shock. Thomas used to be ESTD's school councelor. His main 'subject' was Colt Rivers, whom he counceled weekly for having outbreaks of chaos at the school. Halfway through that year, his wife Lucinda left him for their own milkman, causing Thomas to go into a depressed state. Colt attempted to cheer him up, leading to Thomas' obsession with butter. He now attempts to cope with the loss of his wife by laughing it off. After helping the gang defeat Dean Dain in season 1's finale, Thomas was promoted to the position of dean.

Colt Rivers
Colt begins meeting with local councilor Thomas Walters after stealing the "ESTD Man of the Year" trophy when he lost (as seen in S1,E4: The Trouble with Talent). Colt feels that anything Thomas says is completley irrelevant, and talks behind his back often. However, when Thomas begins having relationship problems with his wife, the two become somewhat of friends, and even switch roles as Colt councils him.

Tyson MacReady
Agent MacReady never trusted Thomas from the very first day on the job. The two hardly ever see eye to eye, and Tyson considers him a problem at the school because of his lack of experience. As the year has gone by though, the two seem to be closer then previously, even sharing the occasional joke between eachother.
