Thomas Johnston

TommyJ upon entering Los Santos

## Cause of Death

Blunt force trauma to the head with brass knuckles.

## Background

Born to George Johnston, wealthy owner of a construction equipment dealership in Plainview, Texas, as well as head paramedic at Covenant Health Plainview. Due to his father's pull over the city and hospital in particular, Thomas entered into the EMT training program with his then girlfriend, Skye Blake, right out of high school. However, one night in 2017 the two were working a shift at the ambulance station and lost a patient during a call. Afterwards they went to his apartment his father had rented for him to drink their sorrow away. After Thomas became heavily drunk he began to shout at Skye, blaming her for the death of the patient, and beat her so viciously that she had to be hospitalized for nearly a month.

During Skye's hospitalization, Thomas was charged with attempted murder due to the severity of the attack, but with a combinations of his father putting pressure on the prosecution and a plea of temporary insanity due to the loss of a patient, the charge was lowered to manslaughter and he was sentenced to 10 years in jail, later reduced to 3 from various legal actions and good behavior.

After healing, Skye eventually left Plainview and came to Los Santos to get away from him and have a fresh start. For Thomas, now going by the nickname Tommy J, much had changed from his time in prison. His father, who maintained a public appearance of a philanthropist despite his darker connections, wanted nothing to do with his embarrassment of a son and cut him off. He had also become heavily inspired by the movie Grease, staring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, which he had watched repeatedly during his 3 years in minimum security prison and sought to style himself after the movie's male lead.

Pompadour gelled, leather jacket on, and fake Italian accent assumed, the remade Tommy J headed to Los Santos.
