Early Life

Tom Sawyer was born in the Royal Darwin hospital in the Northern Territory along with his twin Leah on the 9/23/1985 to Buck Sawyer and his wife Lyanna who passed away when giving birth to his younger brother James when he and his sister were only two years old.

Tom and his siblings grew up on their Father's cattle station, because of this Tom never really had any social interactions with other people other than his family and the occasional visit to Darwin, this prompted him to spend most of his time hunting and on his father's ham radio which he mainly conversed with truckers and the occasional fishing vessels.

Military Career

By the time Tom was 18, his father had passed away due to a heart attack, this left Tom and his siblings distraught as they had lost their only parental figure in their life, at this time, Leah had successfully became a paramedic with the Ambulance Service in South Australia and Liam had been accepted in to University in Queensland.

Tom ran his father's cattle station for a few more months before selling it and moving to the state of New South Wales to enlist in the Australian Defense Force. When joining the army he became interested in first aid which he became good at. Tom originally joined the infantry but he showed skills which were noticed by others which led him to be transferred to the Special Air Service Regiment (SASR), he passed his classes and training with flying colors.

Although trained as a medic he was attached to a squad that conducted reconnaissance missions behind enemy lines, he didnt see too much combat in here and decided to transfer to the 2nd Commando Regiment, where he saw more combat then he did originally.

During times he was able to come home, he met a woman named Jane Tarley, they fell in love with each other and married, they eventually had a child named Matthew, everything was going well with the family until Tom was called to be deployed again, this is when tragedy struck the Sawyer Family when Matthew died in a freak accident, this left Tom distraught and Jane blamed him for it and ended up getting a divorce which made Tom angry, and once he was redeployed he would continue his job but let out his anger by taking out enemy combatants, this made Tom infamous, and a bounty was placed on him.

During a mission he was captured after diverting attention away from his squad who were helping evacuate civilians caught in the crossfire, this led to Tom getting captured by enemy combatants, Tom spent months captured and in the mean time got tortured relentlessly, he eventually broke out with the assistance of a defector, and made it back to the forward operating base (FOB).

Move to San Andreas

After 15 years of service within the Australian Defense Force he was honorably discharged, although he was out of the army, he had nothing to go back to so he decided to sell most of his possessions and booked a flight to San Andreas where he has become an official citizen.

There he met Dillon Ghost who he became great friends with, through this connection he has forged a good relationship with the some of the prominent members of the Junkyard boys, this also lead to him getting a position at the Tequi la la as a security guard, after that, The Joker, another of Tom's friends introduced him to the 141 leading him to get a position within their ranks as a medic.

141 Career

Tom's career within the 141 has mainly just been security details for businesses such as Tequi la la and Sully's pool and Bar. One incident that has occurred was a dispute that nearly turned into a shootout, this started between one of the higher ups within the 141 nicknamed 'Soap' and Hunter Bradford, a corporal within the LSPD, this issue arose when Hunter's wife, Beth Ann Moore filed for a divorce and Hunter believed that Soap manipulated Beth into filing the divorce, this lead to a confrontation at the main base for the 141, Hunter arrived with Harrier Du Bois Anderson to discuss the issue with soap, during this dispute Tom and Phantom were ordered to stand guard at the gate and be ready for a gunfight but Hank was able to defuse the situation and no blood was spilled and Beth ended up leaving with Hunter on good terms again. Soap ended up leaving the base discreetly after announcing over the radio that he was signing off for the last time. This left has Tom feeling extremally worried for the safety and well being of his friends due to Soap still out there probably wanting revenge.
