Tower Tom

Tower Tom is the leader of a group of raiders at the Beantown Brewery in 2287.

Background
A very muscular raider, Tom is the leader of a group of raiders based out of the Beantown Brewery. He has ambitious plans for his gang's expansion, including eventually taking the Corvega assembly plant or D.B. Technical High School. He and his gang are also said to be impossible to appease; Bunker Hill, noticing that Tom's gang was steadily expanding east, sent multiple messengers to make a deal ensuring he would not interrupt their trade routes, but they were all chased away and one was even killed.

At some point when his gang's food supplies ran low, he attempted to raid the federal ration stockpile held by Red and Lily and their gang. The raid went disastrously and half his crew were killed, but two of them managed to capture several hostages, including Lily. After having Lily write letters to Red to convince her that she had been taken, food was sent to Tom's crew to keep her alive. However, after several shipments, Lily managed to get loose and Tom accidentally killed her while trying to aim for her leg. To hide this deed, Tom spread rumors of a huge caravan to temporarily lure his crew out. While they were away, Tom stashed Lily's body inside some unspecified vats, saying she "improved the flavor."

Tom then tried to continue deceiving Red by writing letters and pretending to be Lily, so she would send more food to his crew. However, he was unable to convincingly forge the letters, and Red grew suspicious, eventually sending one of her men to spy on the brewery and determine if Lily was still there.

Tower Tom had sent out Sparta to the BADTFL regional office to look for food and supplies. It is also possible that the raiders Bull and Gouger work for Tom as they bring Vadim Bobrov to Beantown Brewery, Tower Tom's hideout.

Effects of player's actions
If the Sole Survivor takes out Tower Tom before attacking Red Tourette, Red's terminal in the federal ration stockpile will have an updated log saying that she thinks Lily has escaped from Tom. Conversely, if the Sole Survivor takes out Red before clearing Beantown Brewery, Tom's terminal in the brewery will have a log where he is thankful for the sudden opportunity. There will also be additional logs detailing his thoughts if the raiders in the Corvega assembly plant and D.B. Technical High School are taken out by the Sole Survivor.
