Information[]
Father Tomas is a warm, selfless and compassionate leader of a small but hearty little church.[1] Like Father Karras, Tomas suffers from a crisis of faith. In the season 1 finale, he gets his faith back. Father Tomas also experiences visions and can get inside of demons heads and their hosts and use their weaknesses against them which makes him an easy target for demons.
| â | You said I had nothing. You were wrong. I have love, hope, and I have faith. These things are not weaknesses. They make me what I am.... An exorcist. | â |

Notes[]
- Since the TV series is inspired by the original Exorcist novel, Father Tomas is a rebooted version of Damien Karras.
