The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Who is Thomas talking to?

@Mira
Anything is possible. However per Peace Talks getting out is dependent on the Warden being willing to release you. Whereas you chose sanctuary and could leave when you wished, assuming that you were prepared to deal with what awaited you.
If he is a soul destroying villain then placing Thomas in with him seems relatively silly. Per the text Harry doesn't seem to be trying to actively identify him and if Alfred has an index he doesn't appear to be sharing.
And like everybody else in the books currently Alfred is keeping secrets. That he has the capability has been apparent since Ghost Story. Now the author has made it explicit as of Peace Talks.
The crystal is marked as the size of a coffin. The section of the prison is the only one where sleep is available. This suggests that the prisoner is human and human sized.

Just because the crystal is the size of a human coffin doesn't mean that the prisoner is human. There are plenty of monsters in mythology that are human-sized, in the Dresdenverse we have vampires that are human-shaped, and many consider them to be monsters but they are not human.

In and of itself you are correct, however dark gods and monsters don't need sleep.

I'm not so sure of that..

Then I stand corrected, say instead,
--- Quote ---There was one prisoner held below in a kind of unique stasis, something that could most closely be considered sleep, though he could also awaken and perform limited communications for short periods of time. It was, as best as I could understand, the only protocol with sanity-saving sleep built into it.

If you ran across this in SF the prisoner would be a sleeper in suspended animation or in an area where time is suspended.
