- "Why do you want Teth-Adam to surrender? He's the Champion of Kahndaq. Who are you? The Justice Society? We have been living under military occupation for 27 years, and never seen you before. You didn't come when Intergang invaded our country, when they stole our resources and killed my husband. But now, we finally have our own hero, and you decide to fly down here and save us? Thank you, but... we're covered. Go and protect international stability someplace else. Oh, and second, I don't have the crown."
- ―Adrianna Tomaz to the Justice Society[src]
Adrianna Tomaz is a former professor at Kahndaqi University and a freedom fighter who led the resistance in Kahndaq. Working as an infiltrator to stop Intergang, Tomaz stole a sacred totem from the organization and was captured, although she managed to escape.
Searching for the crown, Tomaz joined Ishmael Gregor and Samir in finding it in a tomb, where they were found by various mercenaries, so Tomaz freed the champion Teth-Adam to save them. In gratitude, Tomaz and her brother Karim brought Adam to their residence, asking him to save the nation from him. Tomaz and Adam joined forces with the Justice Society to save Tomaz's son Amon from Gregor, who was seeking the crown, which he did, freeing the Legions of Hell, but Tomaz and the Kahndaqians fought back, freeing Kahndaq from oppression, and Adam began to protect the nation.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
Adrianna Tomaz was born in Kahndaq at the time the country was under military occupation by foreign forces. In her childhood, she was told about the legend of Teth-Adam by her grandmother and was gifted a family heirloom made from Eternium. In her adulthood, she became a professor at Kahndaqi University and mothered a son who she named Amon. However, in 2021, Intergang took control of the country and oppressed her people, also exploiting the country's deposits of Eternium. It is also known that her husband was murdered by Intergang. As a result, she became a freedom fighter in hopes of eventually gaining freedom for her country.[2]
Freedom Fighter[]
Infiltration into Yurrd's shipment[]
- "Kahndaq has never learned from its history... and is thus doomed to repeat it."
- ―Adrianna Tomaz to Amon Tomaz[src]
Tomaz receives a message from her insider.
Tomaz was with her son Amon Tomaz making a long line to attend an event, until Amon complained about having waited so long while some Intergang soldiers jumped the line, so Adrianna told him about good things come to those who wait and that Kahndaq never learned from its past, until Karim arrived with two hamburgers to share with Amon. Tomaz received a message from her contacts about an Intergang robbery, so he said goodbye to his family to go, taking the keys to Karim's van.
Tomaz infiltrates the Intergang facility.
Adrianna traveled to one of Intergang's restricted facilities, jumping over a wire bar while communicating with her contact, walking to the cargo ship to get the artifact before Intergang. Moving forward, Adrianna Tomaz was lamented to find a corpse pressed against a wall and then climbed towards the Yurrd cargo ship using a mooring rope.
Tomaz fights the Intergang soldiers.
Inside the ship, Tomaz overheard the soldiers seeking the shipment with Eternium on Mannheim's orders, Tomaz began to engage the guards with her fighting skills, before being surprised by a soldier, though she managed to escape in time after knocking them down, managing to take a package, and jumped off the ship to swim away in time. On the shores, Tomaz opened the package, discovering that it was some kind of glowing Totem, wondering what it was made of.[3]
Ambush on Kahndaqi University[]
- "Inaction in the face of external influences can cause societies to languish and die. But I wouldn't give up on Kahndaq just yet. Our people are nothing if not resourceful!"
- ―Adrianna Tomaz[src]
Tomaz teaches her history class.
The next day, Adrianna Tomaz visited her partner Hassan at Kahndaqi University for help in researching the totem, talking to him about how she had found the totem around, and they used a pneumatic tube to find out what it was made of. Tomaz asked Hassan how he got that invention and found out that it was after the closure of the Markovian university and the duo discovered that it was made of Eternium. Tomaz found out why Intergang was behind it, learning that her necklacewas made of eternium, though Tomaz felt no concern, leaving to give a class to his students about the historical relics.
Tomaz jumps against a window scaring Hassan.
Suddenly several members of Intergang entered the room, worrying Tomaz who she ended her class to escape, by mentioning that if they did not have similar conversations, their descendants would have the same conversations in other years, and that inaction in the face of external influences could cause societies to die, but that she would not give up on Kahndaq until the people became resourceful. Escaping through a window, Tomaz chose to take refuge in Hassan's office, whereupon he escaped from Jumbo in a pipe.
Tomaz hides the totem to prevent it from being found by Intergang.
Tomaz met Hassan to receive the totem and told him that she broke the window because everything in his life was in danger, when Jumbo started to attack, Tomaz asked Hassan to run away.[4] As she ran, Tomaz called Karim, desperately explaining the situation, asking him for help to hide the Intergang totem and placing it inside a container for it to be found by Karim, hiding it in a garbage can, until Jumbo managed to find her again, so Tomaz continued to escape, dodging Jumbo's blows while using a rake against him.
Tomaz is arrested by Intergang soldiers.
While fighting Jumbo, Tomaz showed her refusal to give them the totem, until she was attacked by Intergang ships, which left her weakened. On the ground, Tomaz ended up being arrested by Intergang, surprising them not possessing the totem, and upsetting Jumbo, but Tomaz was relieved that her plan was successful, so the group decided to take her hostage.[1]
Captured by Intergang[]
Tomaz is kidnapped and introduced to Mannheim.
- "Well, you're out of luck, because my people are halfway to the border with it now."
- ―Adrianna Tomaz to Mannheim[src]
Tomaz was kidnapped and taken to an Intergang warehouse where she was tied to a chair, where a hologram of the leader Mannheim was shown to her, who warned to know from photos found in her office that she had a family, threatening to finish them off if Tomaz didn't cooperate, adressing her under the alias Nassan, which Tomaz said was a name she no longer used. When Mannheim mentioned how the totem would lead them to the Crown of Sabbac, Tomaz asked about it, with Mannheim saying it was the reason why they were in Kahndaq, ending the call while Jumbo prepared to strike her down.[1]
Escape from Intergang[]
Tomaz frees herself from Jumbo.
- "You'd think as a heavy with predilection for torture... You'd know that by now. But what do I know? I'm just a dessert girl with a laser saw."
- ―Adrianna Tomaz to Jumbo[src]
Tomaz was tortured by Jumbo for several hours, refusing to reveal the location of the totem, losing one of her teeth in the process, but holding fast to her decision until Jumbo decided to kill her, using a saw with a fiery laser, which Tomaz took the opportunity to cause Jumbo to accidentally destroy the restraints, allowing Tomaz to break free and fight him, dodging several of his attacks with a chair.
Tomaz escapes from Intergang on a flybike.
During the fight, Tomaz managed to land several blows on Jumbo, managing to steal her saw to attack him in his rocket pack, killing him in a huge explosion that destroyed the entire base along with other Intergang soldiers. Tomaz found one of Intergang's air motorcycles, managing to escape as she taunted them about their defeat until after a ride the motorcycle was destroyed, causing Tomaz to begin fleeing on foot across the desert, returning to Shiruta.[5]
Family Meeting[]
Tomaz discovers the location of the Crown of Sabbac.
- "What does the crown do?"
"It isn't a regular artifact, that's for sure. I don't think Kahndaq can afford to let Intergang find it first." - ―Karim and Adrianna Tomaz[src]
Tomaz met up with Amon and Karim in the family van, receiving the totem from Amon and warning that they went fugitive by Intergang, finding out that Karim lost his shirt and wearing his grandmother's necklace, to which Tomaz bonded with the totem, generating a map showing the exact location of the Crown of Sabbac in a cave, deciding to find it before Intergang, she asked them if they were looking to unearth treasure.[5]
Starting a search for the Crown of Sabbac, Tomaz had to quit her job at Kahndaqi University, running away from 4 homes to stay hidden, finding a residence to hide with her family. Tomaz forged an alliance with two other Kahndaq freedom fighters, Ishmael Gregor and Samir, to find the crown.[2]
Search for the Crown[]
Tomaz asks her son not to get involved in the mission.
- "You know it's too dangerous. You shouldn't have gotten involved."
"Come on, I want to help you beat those bastards." - ―Adrianna Tomaz and Amon Tomaz[src]
Determined to find the Crown of Sabbac, the team prepared to go to the cave, where Tomaz hid in Karim's truck to avoid discovery while he was transported out of Shiruta, passing the supervision of Intergang, since Amon managed to make a distraction. Tomaz was arguing with Samir about how they lost their homes for opposing Intergang, before Amon asked to accompany them to search for the Crown, however Tomaz refused, considering it too dangerous, something Amon reluctantly agreed to.
Tomaz tells how she got her necklace.
During their trip, Tomaz checked her necklace and Samir mentioned they could make a lot of money if they sold it, though Tomaz claimed that she couldn't do anything if it wasn't refined. When Samir asked where she got the necklace, Tomaz said that it was a gift from her grandmother who had been in her family since the time when Kahndaq was free and Karim complained that he didn't receive anything, so Tomaz told him that he inherited a shirt, the van and his father's baldness.
Tomaz prepares to enter the cave.
Arriving at the cave, Tomaz and Ishmael Gregor searched for their bags in the van as they spoke of their confidence in finding the Crown on the mountain, trusting that the inscriptions were correct. Tomaz explained to Gregor that if the Crown were to be found on the mountain, the group should hide it from Intergang and prevent it from falling into the wrong hands, frustrating Gregor, Tomaz then entered the mountain with her companions, leaving Karim to keep watch.
Tomaz translates the scriptures in the cave.
Inside the cave, Tomaz translated some ancient writings that talked about a legend of a man who received powers through magic, becoming corrupted for revenge and also noted that there was talk of a dangerous hidden power, believing that it was the Crown of Sabbac, while talking to Samir about their plan to hide the crown, before realizing that Gregor was missing and Samir decided to go find him.
Tomaz and Gregor explore the cave.
While translating a writing as "go back", Tomaz was surprised by Gregor, asking him where Samir was, to which Gregor lied saying that he was claustrophobic, Tomaz and Gregor continued on their way until they reached a cave tomb, where Tomaz discovered a writing that warned Teth-Adam not to be awakened from his eternal sleep, being surprised that the legend of the champion of Kahndaq was true.[2]
Release of Teth-Adam[]
Tomaz observes the Crown of Sabbac.
- "Mightiest of mortals... God of gods, Six Immortal Elders by name... Shazam!"
- ―Adrianna Tomaz[src]
Tomaz and Gregor found the Crown of Sabbac floating between two rocks, causing Tomaz to go to take the relic, jumping between the rocks to try and get it, managing to jump to successfully get the crown, and stopping to see how the crown shimmered, before placing it on her belt, however, Tomaz quickly saw that the Intergang soldiers had found them, watching as Gregor and Karim were taken hostage, threatening to kill her brother if she didn't hand over the crown.
Tomaz frees Teth-Adam from his grave.
Tomaz made the decision to go down from the rocks and tried to hide from the soldiers while the leader threatened to kill Karim if she did not appear, until at the last moment, Tomaz showed herself to deliver the Crown in exchange for Karim's life, being handcuffed by Intergang. Before being killed, Tomaz tried to send a message to Amon, but being near the grave, Tomaz spoke Adam's grave script, yelling "Shazam!", releasing the champion in the middle of a huge explosion.
Shocked that the legends were true, Tomaz returned to Karim, watching in amazement as he had freed Teth-Adam from his tomb just as the Intergang soldiers began shooting at Adam, who, not suffering damage due to his invulnerability, began to massacre the soldiers. Taking advantage of the fact that the soldiers were distracted by facing Adam, Tomaz searched for Intergang's package containg the Crown of Sabbac, taking the relic to escape with Karim, watching as Gregor was crushed by the collapse of the cave. When a rock was about to fall on them, Adrianna and Karim were unexpectedly saved by Teth-Adam, as the brothers left the mountain, Karim told her that Samir had been killed, mourning his death.
Tomaz rolls up the windows as Teth-Adam approaches.
Inside the truck, Karim claimed that all the sacrifice was for nothing, but Tomaz showed Karim that he had stolen the Crown of Sabbac, the brothers then began to escape through the desert until they found that Teth-Adam had found them, stopping the truck and closing the windows in fear when he saw that he was approaching, Tomaz and Karim then warned Adam that a remaining soldier launched an Eternium missile at him.
The brothers got shocked at how Adam stopped the missile, until it exploded, leaving Adam with a scratch as Adam killed the soldier. When Adam fled, the brothers were relieved, but they quickly saw how Adam had fainted from his wound, Tomaz tried to help him but was stopped by Karim, who claimed that Adam was made of lightning, so Tomaz gave her brother the reason and asked him to take Adam in the truck since he was the electrician.[2]
Meeting Teth-Adam[]
Tomaz studies the Crown of Sabbac.
- "I want a champion to help free Kahndaq from Intergang. Please, help us."
- ―Adrianna Tomaz to Teth-Adam[src]
Returning to the residence, Tomaz laid Teth-Adam to rest in Amon's room by tapping his wound, asking her son not to enter his room. Tomaz began to investigate books on the Crown of Sabbac, realizing that he lost sight of the artifact, and then realizing that Karim had it on, warning him that it had been forged by demons and taking it off, later realizing that the Crown had a writing that said, "Life is the only path to death", trying to decipher its meaning.
Tomaz talks to Teth-Adam about his release.
Tomaz was scared when Adam got up destroying the wall and electrocuting the TV, scolding Amon Tomaz for entering his room without her permission and then argued with Adam for summoning him into the pyramid, stating that she had no choice as she would have been killed by Intergang, with Adam assuring that her enemies had been destroyed, though Amon asked Adam for help in stopping more Intergang soldiers.
Tomaz asks Teth-Adam not to teach her son violence.
Teth-Adam gave Amon Tomaz advice to be violent against his enemies, Tperomaz asked him not to teach him violence, with Adam believing that Karim should teach him believing he was his father, disgusting Tomaz, who told him that Karim was her brother and that her husband had died. Tomaz then asked Adam to help them free Kahndaq from Intergang's oppression, but Adam refused, destroying a wall to leave.
Tomaz is found by Intergang.
When her son went out into the city looking for Adam and got into trouble with Intergang, Tomaz came under cover to save him from a soldier, however she was discovered as the runaway, forcing Amon's skateboard to hit the soldier and they tried to run away to no avail. Luckily for her, Tomaz and Amon were saved by Teth-Adam, who killed the soldiers, meeting with him to thank him after the confrontation, until he withdrew to continue fighting the soldiers.[2]
Uprising of Kahndaq[]
Skirmish in Shiruta[]
Tomaz and her son watch Teth-Adam get up to fight.
- "Let me spell it out for you. Teth-Adam can’t be Kahndaq’s champion because he is not a hero."
"Tell that to all the people he just liberated." - ―Hawkman and Adrianna Tomaz[src]
Teth-Adam was ambushed by the Justice Society, who sought to stop him, starting a battle against him. During the battle, Tomaz stayed watching the fight, until seeing that Amon went to help Adam after he was knocked down, so he had to follow him to protect him, watching with happiness as Adam got up before Doctor Fate's attack.
Tomaz watches Kent Nelson discover the Crown of Sabbac.
When Cyclone locked Adam in tubes, Amon tried to help him again, but Tomaz tried to stop him for being too dangerous, and they were both saved by Kent Nelson, who teleported them to safety, when Nelson was going to give Tomaz his backpack, he realized that she had the Crown of Sabbac, although he had to leave to continue fighting, allowing Tomaz to flee hiding the Crown in Amon's backpack, asking him to return home to keep it safe after the battle.
Tomaz complains to the Justice Society for not having helped Kahndaq.
As Tomaz was leaving, she was interrupted by Nelson who asked her to check her bag, getting upset with the Society for wanting to defeat Adam, berating them for not helping them when they were under coups for several years, claiming that Adam was a hero for saving the people of Kahndaq from repression and claiming not to have the Crown, but Hawkman explained that Adam was not a hero, which Tomaz did not believe, allowing them to check his bag without the Crown.
Tomaz learns of the truth about Teth-Adam.
Tomaz didn't believe in the Justice Society's claims, so Hall told her that thanks to information from ancient texts they discovered who Adam was and how his anger almost destroyed the nation, learning about the massacre in Kahndaq and the massacre of the Council of Wizards, so Tomaz agreed to take the Society to the Kahndaq Palace, asking that they not enter until Adam was convinced to talk to them and reach an agreement.
Tomaz talks to Teth-Adam about the truth.
Upon entering the palace, Tomaz received Adam's annoyance for having brought the Society, but Tomaz explained that they only came to talk, telling Adam about how she used to hear his legends, discovering that they were lies when she found out that Adam killed Ahk-Ton in revenge and killing almost all of the Council of Wizards that tried to imprison him, being disappointed that he was never a hero, trying to convince him to become one, leaving Adam thoughtful, who agreed to talk to the Society.[2]
Chase for Amon Tomaz[]
Tomaz pleads with Teth-Adam to save her son.
- "Intergang are after my son. They don’t want him. They want the Crown of Sabbac. I know you’re not a hero, but you’re not a monster, either. I don’t care what anyone says. You saved me in that cave. You didn’t know me and your first instinct was to save me. I’m begging you. Please, save my son."
- ―Adrianna Tomaz to Teth-Adam[src]
Tomaz heard the tension between Teth-Adam and Hawkman, so she tried to defuse their rivalry stating it would lead to nothing. Tomaz was suddenly called by Amon, who informed her that Ishmael Gregor was still alive, betraying them by shooting Karim and looking for the Crown for Intergang. Worried, Tomaz begged Adam to save her son, reminding him of how he saved her in the cave despite not being a hero, so Adam agreed by going to find the child.
Tomaz maintains communication with Amon.
As the Justice Society left to try to help Adam, Tomaz left the palace to continue the call with Amon, asking him where he was, and hearing that he was inside one of the Intergang hovercycles, confusing Tomaz into seeing the chase, calming down by knowing that Amon was fine. Tomaz soon lost communication with Amon, assuming that he had been kidnapped, so she disconsolately returned to her residence.[2]
Alliance with the Justice Society[]
Tomaz is consoled by Kent Nelson.
- "You were blaming yourself for trusting Ishmael. Your thoughts are better spent on the things you can change, not those you can't."
"You see the future? Tell me how I get my son back."
"By trusting us. Karim will live, we will save Amon. It's what we do." - ―Kent Nelson and Adrianna Tomaz[src]
While crying in the room for Amon, Tomaz was counseled by Kent Nelson about not suffering for her past by not being able to change it, asking her to focus on changing what still could, so Tomaz asked her to see the future to find out if they could to save her son, Nelson then calmed her down by asking her to trust them because Karim would live and save Amon, then seeing Teth-Adam break through another wall, reporting that he didn't find Amon.
Tomaz is informed of her son's location.
When Hawkman brought two soldiers to use them as hostages, Tomaz violently attacked them to find out where Amon was, but was interrupted by Adam, who learned how prisoners deserved respect, and then took them to the heights to question them and find out where Amon was. Tomaz saw Adam return, informing that Amon was in the mines, discovering that they were the Al Hadidiyah Mine, asking Adam and the Society to go there, however, Adam and Hall began to fight as they had moral differences.
Tomaz talks about the writing of the Crown of Sabbac.
Adam and Hawkman found the Crown of Sabbac hidden in Amon's crate, so they all gathered on the Hawk Cruiser with the rest of the Justice Society to figure out what to do with the Crown, where Tomaz translated the Crown's writing, confusing Kent Nelson and Albert Rothstein for not understanding the meaning, with Tomaz interrupting the Society because they couldn't get rid of the Crown, as Intergang wanted it and they had to keep it until they saved Amon.
Tomaz discussed with Hawkman about giving him the Crown and finding another way to save her son, but Tomaz refused to give it to him, berating him for wanting to divide the world between good and bad people, asking him to worry only about saving Amon, convincing Adam and Hall to put their differences down and work together, heading to the Al Hadidiyah Mountains to save Amon Tomaz in the morning.[2]
Attack on the Al Hadidiyah Mine[]
Tomaz and the Justice Society arrive at the mine.
- "It’s okay. Nothing is gonna happen to you."
"Hand it over, now."
"I’m sorry, mom." - ―Adrianna Tomaz, Ishmael Gregor and Amon Tomaz[src]
Arriving during the morning, Tomaz and the Justice Society listened intently to Carter Hall's infiltration plan to evade Intergang, however Tomaz and the team soon saw Teth-Adam attacking the mines, thus they had to follow him, with Tomaz carrying a rifle until they reached an Eternium shield, where Amon was being held captive by Ishmael Gregor.
Tomaz chooses to give up the Crown of Sabbac.
When Gregor threatened to kill Amon if they didn't hand over the Crown of Sabbac, Tomaz agreed to give it to him, angering Hawkman for wanting to hand over the relic, and Tomaz reminded Hall that Intergang murdered her husband, and she wasn't going to let them kill her son. Tomaz went with Gregor while Adam protected her of Hall and Kent Nelson's attempts to stop her. Tomaz reassured Amon and handed the Crown to Gregor, begging him to let her son free.
Tomaz is saved by Hawkman.
However, Gregor refused, revealing himself to be the last descendant of King Ahk-Ton and seeking to be the new ruler of Kahndaq, seeing Gregor betray them by preparing to kill Amon while a soldier was aiming at her, she began to cry in despair when Gregor shot her son, though Teth-Adam saved him, causing an electrical explosion in the mine that ended with Intergang, where Tomaz was protected by Hall's wings, surviving the blast.
Tomaz sees Teth-Adam after the explosion.
Tomaz met with the Society and found Nelson carrying a passed-out Amon in his arms, realizing that he was not hit by a bullet, but had been accidentally injured by the electrical blast, looking sadly at Adam for what happened, seeing him withdraw as he felt guilty, and then go with Nelson to the Hawk Cruiser to heal her son. After Adam was imprisoned in the Task Force X Black Site, Tomaz watched with happiness and relief as Amon woke up.
Tomaz discovers Ishmael Gregor's real plan.
Tomaz and Cyclone began to investigate the Crown of Sabbac, remembering that Ishmael Gregor had read the writing backwards, however, Tomaz realized that it was similar to the mythology surrounding the Rock of Finality, telling Hunkel that Gregor planned to kidnapping Amon to be killed by Teth-Adam, causing the champions' magic to send him to the rock, watching the Crown disappear, realizing that Gregor had returned.[2]
Battle of Kahndaq[]
Tomaz and her son escape from the battle.
- "Don’t send me home. I can help."
"I know. But you can do better than swinging a stick." - ―Amon Tomaz and Adrianna Tomaz[src]
Tomaz and Cyclone met with the Justice Society to go to Shiruta, after learning that Gregor resurrected as a demon. Upon arrival, they were attacked by Gregor, who destroyed the Hawk Cruiser, causing them to do crash-land to survive, so Tomaz met up with Amon as people fled in panic on the middle of the battle, losing sight of Karim.
Tomaz convinces her son to find another way to help.
When Sabbac summoned the Legions of Hell, Tomaz took up a steel rod to defend his son, until Karim arrived in his truck to help them, confusing Tomaz as she saw her brother fighting the Legions. Seeing that Amon also wanted to help fight the demons, Tomaz stopped him and convinced him to find another way to help and make the change, Tomaz then joined Karim to face the demons, noting that they were an army.
Tomaz is proud to see her son bring an army of civilians.
As they fought, Tomaz and Karim watched with pride as Amon arrived with an army of Shiruta citizens whom he encouraged to fight. Accompanied by the Kahndaq people, Tomaz continued to fight the demons until Teth-Adam and Hawkman managed to kill Gregor, wiping out the legions, so Adrianna and the people began to celebrate their victory, with Kahndaq finally being free.[2]
Kahndaq's Freedom[]
Aftermath of the Battle[]
Tomaz talks to Hawkman about the justice of Teth-Adam.
As the other citizens celebrated their victory, the Tomazs and the Justice Society went to the Kahndaq Palace to meet with Teth-Adam and Hawkman. When Hawkman warned Adam that his soul may be corrupted if he continued to dispense his justice, Tomaz claimed that it was Adam's darkness that made him a hero, saying goodbye to Hall along with Hunkel and Rothstein before they left.
The Tomazs saw Adam sit on the throne of the palace, proudly watching that he decided not to be the ruler, destroying the throne, receiving Adam's thanks for being heroes and Adam decided to take the role of protector of Kahndaq. Tomaz thanked Teth-Adam for his help, though Adam considered that his name was outdated, so Tomaz asked what they would call him, to which Adam took the alias "Black Adam".[2]
Personality[]
- "You like to split the world into good and bad, but that’s easy to do when you’re the one drawing the line. All I care about is Amon. And until he is safe, we're all on the same side. And you... you will work together."
- ―Adrianna Tomaz[src]
Tomaz actively fought for the causes that she considers fair, reaching the point of infiltrating the facilities to steal Intergang artifacts in order to end the dictatorship from her country, even mentioning that every time an artifact was taken from Intergang it was a victory for the people of Kahndaq, stating that Kahndaq never learned of its past over the years. As a mother, Tomaz cares about her son, trying to teach him values such as patience and not wanting Adam to teach him to be violent, even giving the Crown of Sabbac to Gregor in order to save him.
During her classes, Tomaz showed that it was important to conserve even the worst relics in history, explaining that inaction against to outside influences can cause societies to languish and die, and that she would not give up on Kahndaq as she believed her people could be resourceful. Seeking to free Kahndaq, Tomaz begged Teth-Adam to end Intergang, lashing out at the Justice Society for wanting to stop the champion when they hadn't come to help the country before.
When her son was kidnapped by Intergang and Karim was shot, Tomaz felt guilty for not being able to prevent it, being calmed by Kent Nelson to stop regretting the past by not being able to change it and to focus on changing what she still could. Concerned for her son, Tomaz was the voice to convince Adam and Hall to put their differences aside to rescue Amon, serving as a mentor to her son by asking him to find a way to make a difference against the Legions of Hell, taking pride in him seeing that he convinced the people of Kahndaq to fight for the freedom of the nation.
