Cursed by Nosferatu vitae with a ruined face to present to the world, Tom takes it all in stride. With little more than his muscles and his loyalty to sell, Tom went from construction worker, to union member, to a thug hired by the Mob. Under the circumstances, when the mob framed and abandoned him to the tender mercies of Pietro's police force, the Embrace of the Nosferatu may have been an improvement.

As childe of the loremaster, Tom's blood is the weakest of the surviving Nosferatu, and the blood disease hampers his ability to work for his new 'union,' the Clan. As he's helped them in the past, though, the Clan now works to aid him in his weakness. And so Tom lingers on where other Kindred have faltered and died the Final Death.
