Clyde Thomason is Brooklyn Thomason’s father and Jojo’s grandfather. During the economic struggles of the 1970s, he bought two Brooklyn brownstones for $60,000. Now a wheelchair-user, Clyde lives in one brownstone, renovated for accessibility, with Brooklyn and Jojo; he often rents the other, traditional brownstone to tourists. Because the traditional brownstone is quintessentially Brooklyn (the borough), it is invulnerable to the Woman in White. To combat this, the Woman uses her nefarious nonprofit, the Better New York Foundation, to buy the brownstone against the Thomasons’ will on a legal technicality.
