Appearance[]
Thorne is a skeleton of a pirate captain. He wears a striped brown shirt, black trousers heald up by a dark brown belt with a golden buckle, a red pirate frock coat with golden epaulettes on each shoulder, a red tricorn with a golden decal on the front and two yellow feathers coming out of it, a grey eyepatch over his left eye socket and a single black boot with golden buckle on his right foot. The frock and the trousers are torn in places and expose the Thorne's bones and two shirt cuffs on each one of his wrists. Thorne is missing his left leg, which he replaced with a wooden peg leg. Thorne wields a cutlass with a golden handle and iron blade covered in algae. Thorn's teeth are crooked and elongated.
Cut Content[]
Thorne was the main focus of a cut mission The Abysmal which would have taken place on his sunken ship. Centuries before the events of said mission, Thorne who in 1776 robbed Fort Graven of it's gold with the help of a blackmailed Daydreamer while he was still a mortal known as Lieutenant Jackson. Through unknown circumstances, the ship Thorne used in the robbery was sunk, taking him, Daydreamer and Thorne's wife Lady Rose with it to the bottom of the ocean.
In the mission itself, Thorne would have served as an enemy haunter, stopping any mortals who attempted to swim down and collect his gold. In addition he would have been used as a part of the puzzle to lay to rest Lady Rose, as she is unable to go and be with her true love (Daydreamer) until she knows for sure that their wedding vows have been broken, which would be done by showing Lady Rose his spirit.
Depending on the version of the game, Thorne would have either been freed in The Abysmal at the end of the level, or he would have remained a restless spirits until eventually being captured off screen by the Ghostbreakers and becoming a restless spirit in Ghostbreakers.

- In the earlier version of Complete Edition, Thorne's fetters used to be Corpse/Earth, just like Black Crow. This was later changed to fit his aquatic theme.
