I think this presentation of Thom fits the overall character of Thomdril Merillin: disgraced bard with warrants out for his arrest, fleeing a politically unstable situation in Caemlyn, dude who commits regicide a few times, mourning Owyn (that SONG tho!), and is capable of eventually becoming Moiraine's Warder and guards the entrance to Shayol Ghul in AMoL. In EotW he's just sorta cutely grouchy and stuck on himself? This guy is still pretty stuck on himself, but I think we get the bigger picture faster. This guy I'd be curious to see if he could survive a Fade. When I read EotW I was like "yeah that old guy is suuuuuper dead" but with this one I'd be unsure. He's just a more plausible fit for the eventual full character.
"Cobbled together at the edge of a quarry, this place is, by every definition, a mining town."
