"He wasn't the tallest or the strongest, he was simply the meanest, willing to strike and bite even the littlest orphans. If someone had a toy, he would break it. When a child was sleeping soundly, he would pinch them awake. He was all manners and dimples when the staff were near, but as soon as they were gone, cruel Tomek would return." — Description of Tomek's behavior, King of Scars

Tomek was a bully at the orphanage Nina Zenik grew up in.

Biography

When Tomek arrived at the foundling home, he was the meanest of the orphans there, treating the others cruelly despite appearing well-behaved in front of the staff. A group of other bullies coalesced around him.

Just after the Feast of Sankt Nikolai, Tomek snatched an orange that Baba Inessa had given Nina. He shoved Nina and insulted her while eating the orange himself. However, Nina's first sign of her Heartrender powers appeared, and she made Tomek and his friends hiccup for hours. When she was taken to the Little Palace, Nina warned Tomek to be nice.

Personality and traits

Tomek is cruel and selfish. He is also devious, as he faked manners in front of the orphanage staff to avoid being suspected of bullying others.
