Tom, also known as Tom the guardian of the eggs, was a peasant boy at Castle Wyvern and one of the only human friends to the gargoyles at the time, having befriended the Trio shortly before the massacre.
[edit] History
Tom and his mother Mary were part of a refugee group fleeing from the Vikings, taking shelter in Castle Wyvern. The Vikings were fended off when the sun set and the gargoyles awoken. Tom got acquainted with three gargoyles later to known as Booklyn, Lexington and Broadway but his mother, scared of such creatures, tired warding them off.
A few nights later, the castle was betrayed by it own captain of the guard, who allowed the Vikings to take everyone prisoner. Tom was confident that the gargoyles will save them but it informed by Mary that the Viking leader Hakon had destroyed all the gargoyles in their stone form. However, they were rescued by the few survivors of the clan. Unfortunately, the gargoyles were put into a stone sleep until "the castle touched the sky".
Feeling indebt to Goliath and his clan, Tom accompanied Princess Katharine, his mother and the Magus in transporting the clan's gargoyle eggs to King Kenneth's castle. Katherine named him the title of Guardian, to protect the eggs.
Unfortunately, shortly after their arrival, Tom witnessed Lord Constantine murdering the king to usurp the Scottish throne. While Katherine's cousin Maol Chalvim fled, she stayed behind to move the eggs. Unfortunately, Constantine was intent on forcing her into marriage. Luckily, they escaped with the eggs and Lady Finella, as the Magus used the Grimorum Arcanorum to allow them to travel to Avalon. After getting past the Weird Sisters, Finella and Mary had to return to the real world to protect the Grimorum from Constantine, as the book cannot set foot on the island. Tom was told by his mother that he would not be safe in Scotland with Constantine ruling it and thus he went to Avalon with Katherine, the Magus and the eggs.
As time past on the island, Tom and Katherine grew closer, eventually becoming husband and wife, raising the gargoyles as their own children. They gave the hatchlings names, which was the only way they could tell one from the other; Tom had a fatherly habit of calling them "eggs." He also trained them in combat.
Tom visited the outside world once every hundred years or so in order to see whether Goliath and his clan had yet woken, and thus it was that he brought Goliath, Bronx and Elisa Maza to Avalon. He wears medieval armor modeled after Goliath, without the wings, in a style similar to David Xanatos and his Steel Clan robots.
