Tom Avery

Tom Avery was the last doppelgänger in the line of Silas' doppelgängers and his descendants. Linking Stefan to Tom, Sloan and the Travelers were able to learn that Tom was a paramedic who resided in Atlanta, Georgia.
Tom was a distant relative of the Salvatore Family.
==Early History==
Tom was presumed to have been born and lived in Atlanta, Georgia and worked as a paramedic. Around the same time Silas died, he was kidnapped by a witch named Hazel (who was a member of the Gemini Coven). Hazel put him in a magically induced coma in order to cloak him from the Travelers and ensured he could never be found.
==Throughout The Vampire Diaries Series==
===Season Five===
In While You Were Sleeping, Tom was seen in visions when Sloan and the Travelers linked him to Stefan in order to discover his whereabouts.
In Rescue Me, Tom was found and rescued by Caroline and Enzo after they found him hooked up to a feeding tube and in a magically-induced coma. Caroline snapped Enzo's neck in order to prevent him from killing Tom and then took Tom to a diner, where she compelled him to tell her about his life. Confirming that he was a good person, she compelled him to run far from the Travelers and Enzo and never come back. However, before he could leave, Enzo caught up to them and snapped Tom's neck, killing him.
==Personality==
Tom seemed like a kind and compassionate young man. He cared about what happened to others and from what was shown, it seems that he doesn't like seeing people in pain or dying. Tom's skills as a paramedic are so great that even one of the doctors working with him admitted he was the best paramedic he had ever met, even though they didn't get along.
==Physical Appearance==
Physically, Tom is handsome and athletic. He has a pale complexion, broad forehead, strong bone structure (angular jawline), deep-set, forest green eyes, a straight nose and a well-formed mouth. He has straight, short, dark blond hair. He is of slightly above average height, about 5'11", and he has a lean, flat-muscled and athletic physique.
