Thaddeus is the character of the day featured in Coming Back into the Cold!. He works as a researcher at the Ambrette Town Fossil Lab.
Thaddeus welcomed Ash, his friends, and Alexa into the Fossil Lab, since Alexa had requested an interview. He gave them a tour of the main room, which displayed many Fossils. Afterward, he led them to a special room and handed out winter coats before they entered. This area was a special "freezer room" housing an Amaura and an Aurorus that the lab had revived earlier. Thaddeus explained to the group how an excavation team had discovered the Fossils of Amaura and Aurorus high in the northern part of the Kalos region and transported them to the Fossil Lab for revival.
Later, after they left the freezer room, Team Rocket broke in and managed to steal Amaura. Thaddeus and the group noticed this immediately and rushed to the scene. However, Team Rocket had already departed with their truck. Thaddeus noted that Amaura would not be able to last very long, as it is weak to heat. If they did not save it quickly, it would face mortal danger. Alexa and the group decided to pursue the thieves with the help of Aurorus, and Alexa instructed Thaddeus to prepare for transporting Amaura, should they find it.
Later, when the group and Aurorus found and defeated Team Rocket, saving Amaura, Thaddeus arrived with a large truck to safely transport Amaura and Aurorus back to the lab. Back in the freezer room, Thaddeus informed the group that Amaura was fine.
