Thomas Ward

"I could never leave Grant alone with Thomas."

- Christian Ward

Thomas Ward is the younger brother of Grant Ward.

Childhood and death
Thomas grew up in Massachusetts along with Christian Ward, Grant Ward and a sister. Christian was allegedly very abusive to his brothers, frequently beating both of them, and making Grant beat up Thomas for him. Thomas was the only one of the siblings their mother didn't "torture".

When Thomas was young, Christian forced Grant to throw him into a well and prevented Grant from rescuing him. Grant eventually managed to do it without Christian knowing. This incident caused Grant to feel real hate for the first time.

At some point Thomas was died from drowning in the same well, having been thrown there by Ward due to Christian's threats.

Legacy
In 1999, Grant burned down his parents' house grief.

When Grant took a Lie Detector test given by Eric Koenig, he mentioned to Koenig his relationship with his sibling.

In an intimate conversation with Skye, Ward told her that it was not Christian, but he, who would beat on Thomas, but it was because Christian made him.

When Phil Coulson went to the office of Senator Christian Ward, they discussed the first time Christian saw Grant stand over Thomas with a screwdriver in his hand. He says he has sought to protect his family from Grant ever since.
