After the riots that occurred in Seattle in 1999, Thomas took it as a sign that his clan's deep seeded desire for revolt was likely to manifest more and more as information about the world became more and more accessible.
To curb the likelihood of uneducated outbreaks of violence, Thomas began sending gifts to each of the neonate members of the Brujah, in the form of carefully selected academic texts. Once each year, every Brujah neonate would get a book, carefully wrapped, with a note attached to it explaining why Thomas thought the contents would be relevant to the receiver.
Thomas' approach to cultivating his flock was always very hands-off, however. He would give guidance to the other Brujah in the city, but would also give them space to fail, learn from their mistakes, and take some accountability for their actions.
His network of influence, particularly in the education system and the media continued to flourish, and his small patch of domain in the city was well-maintained. The area around his home became one of the safest neighborhoods in the city.
