Thomas has an uncanny way of sometimes painting himself into a corner while working on a case and he also tends to get beat up quite a bit. He doesn't like it when people call him a private detective, he likes to be referred to as an investigator and gets very picky about it, thus telling people that he is a Private Investigator. He has a code that he lives by and that is not to mix business with pleasure. He was married once, but his wife was thought to have died in the war, but later is found to be very much alive and married to a Vietnamese General. His favourite sport is baseball with the Detroit Tigers being his favourite team. He also likes to play basketball, and volleyball with his friends, Rick and T.C. Some of the other things he likes are Milk and Fig newtons, Old Duesseldorf in a long neck, his rubber chicken, and his variety of baseball caps. The ones he wears most, are the Detroit Tigers and the Da Nang cap.

  Higgins is originally from England where he was born and has 3 half brothers - Elmo (Elmo Ziller), who hails from Texas, Father Paddy (Patrick McGuiness) from Ireland and Don Luis Higgins and 1 half sister - Soo Ling. He doesn't like to acknowledge the fact that they are even related to him. He likes to tell stories about the wars he's been in and can go on and on about them. Someone can mention something about whatever and it will remind him of something that happened to him in one of his wars. Half the time when he starts talking about a war story to Thomas, Thomas will just turn around and walk away.

  Rick, who had his own club for a while until it closed down, now manages the King Kamehameha Club. It is a private club only open to members, which Thomas is not really a member of, but because he lives at the estate and is a guest of Robin Masters is sort of allowed in, and he does spend quite a bit of time there. It is also run by Higgins who is on the board of directors. Rick has one sister who is killed while out on a non-date with Thomas. He has what is known as a glass jaw because if he gets punched in the face, he's out like a light.

  TC (Theodore Calvin) owns and runs his own helicopter service. He has charters for customers to fly them all over the Islands. Often when he goes out flying with Thomas he ends up with a bullet hole in his windshield. He is divorced with two kids.

  Rick, TC, and Thomas had known each other since Vietnam, which is where they met and became friends.
