Thomas Marsh (South Park)

Gael Cuauhtémoc "Thomas" Marsh is a fictional character from South Park.

Background
Thomas Pantano was born on February 21, 1854 in Guadalajara, Mexico, the son of Sofía (née Sacristán) Pantano, a teacher, and José Pantano, an Army Officer. His mother was a mestiza as she was of European and Native American ancestry, while his father was descended from black slaves who were brought to Mexico during the colonial era in the transatlantic African slave trade. His paternal ancestors escaped from a plantation in Veracruz along with thousands of other fugitive slaves (they are known as "maroons") and created their own communities in Oaxaca. One of Thomas' earliest enslaved ancestors were maroons who worked with Gaspar Yanga, as they were apart of his colony. Thomas' father was a veteran in the Mexican War of Independence, Spanish attempts to reconquer Mexico, and the Texas Revolution. Thomas was a middle child, he had one elder brother named Antonio, and one younger brother named Miguel. Thomas' patrilineal line can be traced to Ordóñez Delgado Alcoholado de Pantano, who was born in 1585 in Torrejoncillo, Cáceres, Extremadura, Spain, who later settled in Milpillas de Allende, Zacatecas, Mexico in the 1620s. Although Ordóñez married a total of fourteen women, he had fathered a total of 696 children, and he was known as a "piedra rodante en brillante armadura" ("a rolling stone in shining armor") by local women in Cancún, Tequila, Bacalar, Cholula, Mazunte, San Cristóbal de las Casas, Cabo San Lucas, and Ixtenco.

Thomas was raised a Roman Catholic. Due to being of Mexican heritage, Thomas and his family would participate in celebrations like Día de los Muertos and Las Posadas. Thomas' uncles, Joaquín and Ernesto, were freelance musicians who would often go on tours throughout Mexico. Thomas' paternal grandfather also owned a tequila and taco shop in Clavería, Azcapotzalco, Mexico City. Thomas enrolled at University of Guadalajara. He graduated from the university at the age of 21 and later enrolled at Heroico Colegio Militar, following the footsteps of his father. Following his graduation from the academy, Thomas enlisted in the Mexican military and was put into service as a medical records technician. He even participated and put his service in the Comanche-Mexico Wars. He rose to the rank of master sergeant and served as the first sergeant of the clinic at several army bases throughout Mexico and Central America. After a long 10-year armed forces career, Thomas left the military and moved to the United States, changing his last name to Marsh to avoid mispronunciations. After a few months, Thomas developed an interest in surgery and earned a full-on scholarship to attend UNC School of Medicine as a foreign exchange student. While in the course, he met a woman named Angela, with whom he fell in love and later married. Angela got a job as a philanthropist and pharmacist. Thomas got a job as surgeon. While on vacation in Venice, Italy, Angela found out that she was pregnant with a son, which was confirmed at S.A.E.M. Provincia Lombardo-Veneta Dell'Ordine Ospedaliero San Giovanni. She gave birth to their son once they returned to America. Angela and Thomas shared a genuine charitable nature, and founded a company called Marsh Industries. Over the years, as the family business grew, Angela and Thomas became billionaires. Both Angela and Thomas were dedicated to their son's upbringing. Angela was well-regarded in South Park's social circles, and was responsible for hosting lavish charity balls at their mansion, which was located in the outskirts of South Park. Thomas became a world-class surgeon, which only expanded their fortune. They later had several other kids named Angelina, Maya, Christina, Mariana.

Angela was once kidnapped by a gang of escaped French convicts, but Thomas reunited with his wife nine months later.

Thomas had always said to Marvin that one day he would want to pass the heir of their fortune to him, and continue to the family business, and although Marvin was conflicted to answer, he said yes. Years later, Thomas died of natural causes. Angela succeeded her husband in death, passing away only nine months later due to pneumonia. Following his parents deaths, Marvin kept his promise in watching over his family's fortune while multitasking with other jobs, which was difficult. Marvin soon married a woman named Isabella, and shared his fortune with her. Marvin and his wife were eventually forced into bankruptcy, owing over $6 billion, causing them to get kicked out of the mansion. This was around the same time their son Jack was born. Over the years, Marvin was able to recover financially.
