The Scorch Trials: Thomas And The Glade

In the novel The Scorch Trials, it starts off with an intense flashback when Thomas and his crew escaped the Glade. They solved the Maze and got rescued by a corrupt government-like organization known as Wicked. They took the escapees to this large building in the middle of nowhere, and the technology there was off the charts. They have been running experiments on humans, and the stuff they are doing is crazy. The group of kids is now put to another test, the real world has fallen to pieces and there is a worldwide disease spreading known as the Flare.

He is always the one motivating people that they can do it, and always thinks positively even when things are not going so
