Tom
"Audrey, meet Tom. He's my protector. My friend." |
Tom is a robot-armed Boris clone somewhat based on the cartoon counterpart. He dislikes strangers like Henry, and is often accompanied by their partner, Allison Angel.
History
Early life
Tom's origins are mostly unknown, but it's likely he was created along with the other Boris clones. While it's unknown how, Tom lost his arm.
At one point, he discovers Allison messing with the ink, and he presumably stopped her before anything bad happened. They would then become partners, and Allison would dub this Boris clone she met as Tom, as he seems to respond to it.[2]
While it's unknown how, Tom lost his left arm at one point. It's likely that either Allison (who seems to know how to repair it) or Tom attached the Bendy animatronic's left arm onto his.
Saving Henry
After Brute Boris's defeat, Alice comes running out to attack Henry, but ends up with a knife in her back, which belongs to Allison. Tom is seen accompanying her.

Saving and helping Audrey
Tom is first mentioned by Allison when Audrey asks if she can come with her. He's described as a wolf that doesn't care for strangers.
Later, as Alice prepares to shoot down Audrey, she's stabbed in the back by Allison. Tom then walks up and is introduced to Audrey. After Allison and Audrey chat, Tom can be petted until Audrey leaves and the two of them vanish.
Audrey, in the form of Beast Bendy, is helped by Allison, the Lurker, and Tom. He's seen riding on top of the Lurker as it kills Lost Ones and Searchers.

Tom is unkind to strangers, but seems to grow to trust them quickly, as this was the case for both Audrey and Henry.
