One of the children living with Sebastian.^[4]
Went by “Mouser” because he was fast and sneaky.^[5]
Brought Dorian Gregg to Sebastian’s safe house.^[5]
His father regularly beat his mother and him, and then took to burning him after his mother tried to clean up and leave a couple of times.^[3]
His mother OD’d in a flophouse and when they found her body a few days later, he was gone; after three days of waiting for his mother to come back (presumably to a different place than where she was found), he ran out of food and left.^[3]
His father was in prison.^[3]
Used to have bad dreams, but was healing.^[4]
Dorian insisted on him going with her to An Dídean.^[6]
Eve took his obviously homemade beggar’s license from him when he arrived at An Dídean.^[3]
Roarke said “looking at him was like looking at pieces of myself in the past,” although he said he would have done a better job with the fake beggar’s license, even at that age.^[7]
In Random in Death, Quilla Magnum talked to him about “where the snooty rich kids shop, especially the doofs.” She gave Eve a list of shops based on their chat.
In Passions in Death, Rochelle Pickering told Eve Tom was “a wonder. So damn entertaining, and not just smart. Scary smart. He just latches on.”^[8]
