Biography
Tom approaches Lara Croft and Jonah Maiava when they were looking for help in his village. Tom liked them as they had brought presents. Tom offered to take the foreigners to the cave they were looking for that might contain the Mushroom of Immortality. They had to cross a river that had a collapsed bridge, so Tom took a vine and crossed it first creating a place for Lara and Jonah to hold on, But Lara slips and river carries her away. Tom tries to see Lara from the shore, while Jonah jumped in and tried to find her in the water. After Jonah has saved Lara, they are confronted by a snake, which Tom kills with a bow. Tom offers to cook the snake, but Jonah suggests noodles instead. The next morning Tom leads Lara and Jonah to the cave they were looking for. Seeing Knighthood of the Dark Spore entering the cave, Tom showed them another entrance. He then left, as he had promised to work for his employer that day.
