Thomas Gates (TFD)

"Thomas Gates" is a character and a survivor of the outbreak in BrambCracker' The Frozen Dead. He is a Colonel in the US Army and was put in charge of Safe-Zone Juneau.

Pre-Apocalypse
At some point in his life, presumably just after high school, Gates joined the US Army and eventually rose to the rank of a Colonel.

Post-Apocalypse
As the Wildfire virus broke throughout the world, Thomas Gates was put in charge of Safe-Zone Juneau, tasked with keeping the civilians there safe by any means necessary.

"Do No Harm"
Gates welcomes the scientists when they arrive at the Safe-Zone. When Jackson Bensen sees a few undead people from his base being taken away, he asks where they’re being taken, to which Gates tells him to be studied.

Freida Marques asks when the scientists will be able to go home, and Gates tells her that they can’t, as most of the world has been affected by the outbreak, and until they know it’s safe to do so, they won’t be releasing any civilians. Freida says it sounds like they’re being detained, but Gates assures her it’s protection, not detention.

Gates puts the scientists into housing and gives them jobs, as they all need to contribute in some way. Jackson asks what other rules there are, and he says the first one is “do no harm.”

Later, Spencer Crawford and Charles Patel approach Gates in hopes to find other ways to contribute, and Gates sends them to the medical tents, as they’re in need of more doctors. Spencer protests, but Gates explains that explosions that ravaged the city on the day of the outbreak hospitalized many who are still in need of attention, before sending them away.

Gates spots Edgar Anderson watching a family being refused to leave the Safe-Zone, and he sits next to him and talks to him about it, explaining that they keep people there for their own good, as they’re trying to build something and it’s their job to keep the civilians safe as they do so. Edgar understands, but worries that they might have family they’re trying to get to, but Gates insists that everyone outside of Alaska is likely dead. Gates assures him that he doesn’t need to worry as he’s safe now, Alaska being fairly removed from civilization, before leaving him.
