I have not followed Thomas very closely during his time on the court, but vaguely recall reading reports that (a) he somewhat inexplicably remains completely silent during oral arguments, and (b) votes reliably in Scalia's shadow, but OTOH (c) has on occasion written opinions/dissents that are thoughtful in nature -- though I've not read them myself.
Are these impressions accurate?

Yes. He is also known to sit in the Mall, dressed incognito as a tourist, across from girls sunning themselves, and stroke himself subtly underneath a newspaper. Secret service have found him there numerous times, most famously when he was dragged into an oral argument on Nebraska’s partial birth abortion statute in a golf visor and wraparound shades, moaning audibly and swaggering through the aisles to the panel bench with an intimidating erection poking his robe forward.
