--- Quote ---It may not work, it may burn out his demon. I doubt he'd die because he can't be that much older than Harry.(Maggie Sr. left and Lara raised him from a time where he only has vague memories of his mother.) It could even do as you speculate and make him an Eros and a Knight, getting him back in the game with a power-up.

The impression I get from reading the books if I remember correctly is Thomas is six or eight years older than Harry.  So give or take between 45 to perhaps 48 years of age.  Given that Thomas is no wizard, chances are he'd revert to a middle aged vanilla human, or the bespectacled
slight man Harry saw in their soul gaze back in Blood Rites.  Which I assume from the way Harry saw it was Thomas without the Hunger to keep him young, handsome, and strong.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Speaking as a bespectacled middle aged man, Thomas wouldn’t be able to contribute much to Harry’s cases- the ‘ability’ to get up 2 or 3 times in the night to urinate is not going to be very helpful characteristic.

A fully mortal Thomas could still die of old age before Eb.

Besides we have the (Sigh) the Wrestling Book to go, and having Thomas as the Hero and Harry as the Heel, who turns on discovering that Thomas is in fact his long lost brother is just to good an opportunity to miss, to have a dig at writers and writing,  it would be Jim’s Murder of Gonzaga inside his Hamlet, and let’s face it, he has already written in his Yorick.

Well, we know from Bigfoot on Campus that a scion can withstand a vampire mating... maybe River knows a nice scion... or, it IS an emergency, a Forest People girl? ;)

Dina:
I think the important point is Thomas child. Whenever they found the child, I think Butters is going to use the sword to kill the hunger in it, so he or she will grow up to be a normal human. With that in mind,  their parents would give up immortality to be normal parents. The sword probably will cure Justine (or Harry will find another way, perhaps the Shroud or any other piece of the Holy Hallows _sorry, relics). So after they find a way to heal Thomas of the consequences of what they did to him, they will use the Sword again, to kill the vampire in him. And presto! A normal happy family (with a strange uncle and cousin, but that is not so bad).
Thomas' releasing of the hunger can happen after the BAT, so Harry does not lose his ally.

Still don't know what the OP meant  :)

More likely a Svartalf orgy than a female Bigfoot. The Swartalves owe Thomas if they have accepted he was a tool of Nemesis, they put him in this condition when they didn’t need to, and previously Thomas did have relations with almost the entire Female half of the Swartalf nation.

OP Over Powered so over powered that it’s a straight kill in every fight, no story or drama. Say Harry versus Paranoid Gary, Harry is so OP Gary would be a greasy smear in a second. Harry versus Eb on the other hand leads to a protected fight, drama, and pushes the narrative along nicely.
Compare that fight with Harry versus Lara on Demonreach. Harry is so OP there it’s almost embarrassing for Lara which made a totally different point, Harry deliberately refrained from hurting Lara whilst demonstrating that she was totally in his power.

Same with Harry versus Rudy, Harry is OP compared to Rudy but the intervention of Butters prevents Rudy from being a greasy smear.

Harry is usually the lesser power in most of his confrontations or is handicapped in the use of his power against a lesser opponent, such as obeying the First Law. Makes for a better Story.
