Whats the deal with Little Thom?

I might be crazy but there seems to be more to Little Thom than meets the eye.


A. If you pick a warrior primary, right out of Ascalon city in pre-searing, when you approach the first skill trainer Gwen will comment that he looks like her father. I can't remember the skill trainers name but he does use the same model as Little Thom. This might suggest that Gewn is Thom's daughter.

B. The Red-Cloaked Deserter. The goal of this mission is to bring Little Thom to justice. You find a corpse with the name Little Thom on it but when you talk to Farrah Cappo she says that it was not Thom's body and she will enjoy hunting him in the future.

Has anyone tried hiring Thom in Yak's Bend and taking him cross country back to Piken's Square?

Is this a loaded question? have you tried it yourself or is it a real question? It sounds interesting and I'm always up for long adventures, plus going backwards from yak's bend (with a 6 person party) would be pretty easy, might be worth trying.

wow that IS a coincidence.......

Gwen's father is dead I believe. When she's travelling with you, it's in her little blurbs.

Maybe her father faked his death =P

EDIT: And he faked his death again to go search for her (dun dun dun the plot thickens)
