Fictional character biography
Thomas Logan lives in Alberta, Canada during the late 19th century and is the groundskeeper for the Howlett estate. Thomas is a very short-tempered man and is known to be a heavy drinker. Thomas is abusive towards his son Dog, often beating him severely, and introduces the boy to alcohol. Thomas has a long-time affair with his employer's mentally-unstable wife, Elizabeth Howlett, which resulted in the birth of James Howlett.[1]
After being fired and kicked off his estate for failing to control his son, Thomas returns to his house in the middle of the night, accompanied by Dog. He sneaks into the Howlett household and tries to persuade Elizabeth to leave with him. Before Elizabeth can reply, John returns to the bedroom and is confronted by Logan. After a heated exchange, Thomas shoots and kills John. He is, in turn, killed by James Howlett, who stabs him in the chest with his claws.[2]
