Tommy is a lead farmer in the Fallout TV series.
Fallout TV series[]
The Radio[]
Tommy and his father Adam use metal detectors to collect small metal objects in the desert. When they return home, Tommy empties their finding into a pot to be melted down.
When they enter their home, they find the Ghoul eating a meal at their table. Things escalate when the Ghoul mentions his older brother Roofus' name and pulls out an envelope.[1] Adam demands to know what Tommy did and what was in that envelope.
The Ghoul then unfolds a blood-splattered letter with a hole in the center and claims that it was Tommy who got Roofus involved with the "madwoman," Lee Moldaver. He'd go on reading off a blood-splattered letter that said Roofus entrusted Tommy to deliver a stash of caps to a courier to deliver an Enclave defector to Moldaver. When the Ghoul found Roofus' body and picked up the envelope with the letter inside, he couldn't read it because of the blood-splattered hole in it. The Ghoul then asks Tommy to inform him of Moldaver's location, and he'll leave.[2]
Tommy apologizes to his father as Adam demands that Tommy tell him what the Ghoul wants to know, but instead pleads that he doesn't want to spend all of his life digging through dirt. On the other hand, Adam forces Tommy to tell the Ghoul what he wants, or they will all be killed, including his sister.[3]
Under pressure, Tommy reveals that Moldaver was at the observatory. With that, the Ghoul asks Tommy if he would really allow him to leave knowing what he did to his older brother, which earns him a cold stare by Tommy. Adam claims he will not, but the Ghoul is unconvinced that Tommy would not try in the future.[4] Just then, Tommy tries to reach for the flintlock musket beside him, but the Ghoul uses his revolver to shoot him dead.
As the Ghoul leaves, Adam mourns the loss of his son.

The Ghoul: "Hmm. There's always some new little faction, ain't there? Brand-new team of believers with their own dumbass ideas about how they gonna save the world. What did you say the name of your eldest was? Was it Roofus?"
Adam: "I didn't say…"

Moldaver. But my problem is, by the time I got this letter off your brother, it was a little bit hard to read. For some reason, I just can’t make out her location. Now, you give me that location, and I'll be on my way."
