When Tommy was 8, his mother killed herself in a bathroom, leaving him and his sister orphaned. 4 years later, when he was 12, he and his sister were out at the park for a picnic. While they were talking, someone pointed a gun to his sister’s head and killed her. Tommy was left with post traumatic stress disorder after the incident. He was placed in a new orphanage, where he would plot his plan for revenge. He killed his sister’s murderer and was sentenced 10 years in prison for murder. He escaped and left a suicide note so the police could not bother to find him. During a mission, he would find Corey, who would soon be the first member to join the Black Friday Crew.
