Sly and calculating, and prone to condescension, de Agueda is known to very carefully plan things before proceeding. He closely adheres to protocol, and rarely suffers any deviation from such. This helped him to be a highly effective Chamberlain.

Thomas de Agueda hails from the same family as Duke Ferdinand; they are cousins. Thomas began working for the king as court scribe, and his magical ability helped propel him through the ranks of the king's court, eventually being named Chamberlain in 1440 DR [1016 WE|29 GWR] . With the death of King James, de Agueda, following custom, took the office as Regent until a new king was to be crowned – a process prolonged by a lack of an heir. He summoned the 11 Dukes of the kingdom to convene a Ducal Council. Many thought the clear successor would be Duke Carver, until Thomas revealed a note, apparently signed by the king on his death bed, indicating Duke Ferdinand was the king's choice.

It was found several weeks after that the note was forged by an ally of the Regent, a mage named Cassius, and leader of a thieves guild called The Canton Underground. He was quickly arrested and thrown into the island prison of Ondero just off the coast of Canton City, where he and Cassius await trail.
