Profile of Thomas Thoumine
As a fictional character, Thomas Thoumine’s age and appearance will be determined by the image formed in the listener’s mind. However, the drama storyline would suggest that he is a middle-aged man, with the look of someone who has spent his whole life at sea about him. He’s married and has two children, both girls. He hopes that they will one day take over the running of the boat from him.
