King Tom

King Tom is the crowned Monarch of the 'Kingdom of Tom' and rules over what was formerly Tenpenny Tower. He formerly ruled the Republic of Dave until his son overthrew him and had him exhiled.

Background
Tom comes from a long lines of presidents, kings and even an emperor, spanning back two hundred years. He was exhiled by his extremist son, Dave, who turned his former Kingdom into a democracy and he was banished into the wilderness.

Many believed him to be dead but he re-emerged a few years back and claimed ownership of Tenpenny Tower as it was inbetween owners. As a result, he stepped in, offering thirty two years of leadership experience. This simple fact practically got him the job, the second he walked in.

Tom Rules over Tenpenny Tower like the King of a Castle, in medieval Europe. He demands respect, deems himself and his heirs the most important people in the building (Except for Dave, who is to be shot on sight) and has even gone as far as to Knight members of his community, who really stand out for their achievements. (Though a fast track to getting Knighted is to suck up to Tom and give him plenty of gifts)

Tom is currently troubled as he was attacked in his dressing room, late one night. He was able to dispatch the villain with his trusty rapier but has been on edge ever since. Torturing the heathen has gotten him very little, by way of answers as they won't confess that Dave sent him to finish the job.
