==Biography==
===Background===
Not much is known of Tom Sullivan's past before the events of the Second World War, but he was born in 1915 or 1918 in the United States. It's possible that he was born in Ohio or resides there, as the address "2812 Harter St. Dayton, Ohio" is seen on his dog tags. Sullivan would join the United States Marine Corps and meet Roebuck and C. Miller, and the the trio were referred to as the "old breed" despite not being out of their twenties. Sullivan would later become the leader of a squad and member of the Marine Raiders, and positioned as the shotgunner of his squad.
===Makin Atoll===
Sullivan led a Marine Raiders squad to rescue Miller and other marines that were captured by the Japanese on Makin Atoll. After Roebuck saved Miller from a Japanese officer, Sullivan handed the private a handgun and told him to ready himself, as they were going to assault the Japanese base. The squad assaulted the base, and survived two ambushes staged by the Japanese on the island. When leaving Makin, Miller was attacked by an officer with a katana, but Sullivan saved him and carried him to the lifeboats to leave the island.
===Peleliu and Death===
Two years later, Sullivan, Roebuck and Miller were part of the 1st Marine Division along with new recruits to assault Peleliu Island. The mission doesn't start well, as the landing crafts are attacked by Japanese shells before Sullivan orders Miller to call in rocket strikes. Sullivan and the squad battle more Japanese forces and make their way for an Allied landing force, and manage to kill more Imperial soldiers in their gun nest. Sullivan and the squad regroup, and tries to force open a door before being mortally wounded by a Japanese officer with a katana. Sullivan died shortly thereafter from his wounds, and his death stunned the whole squad, whom believe he would have made it.
===Legacy===
After his death, his body was sent back to his family, and Roebuck was promoted to sergeant and takes command of the squad. His death wasn't in vain, however, as Roebuck and the squad managed to defeat the Imperial Japanese Army, and war eventually ended with an Allied victory over the Axis Powers.

==Trivia==
*In early pictures, Sullivan appeared to be much younger than he is in the final version. This means that he was going to be younger, possibly in his early 20s.
*He is similar to Joseph Turner from Call of Duty: WWII:
**Both are leaders of their squad.
**Both are killed in battle, and their deaths are mourned by their allies.
