Tommy One-Eye
The troubled and severe Half-Orc lieutenant of Janica Downbridge. She is well-known for her combat abilities and scrupulousness. She has only one eye.
Personal History
Tommy One-Eye used to be called Thomasin of the Adarran, and she also used to have two functioning eyes before a rival clan’s arrow took it out. The bastard of the chief of Adarran and a travelling bard, Tommy was begrudgingly accepted by her people because of her birthright, but she was always a black sheep: she quickly grew a thick skin accustomed to abandonment. One day, however, her mother was deposed by a rival, and her safety among the Adarran became jeopardized. The half-orc, barely the age of 12 and fearing for her life, fled the Midden Hills, living in the wilderness for some time, before alighting on the city of Greger. In the criminal’s mecca, Tommy quickly fell in line with a thieves guild as a brute enforcer. Her finer skills languished while she was relegated to standing guard and intimidating marks. Eventually fed up with being pigeonholed for so long, Tommy attempted to steal the guild masters tools and make her way out of the city, but she was caught on her way out. The guild master though, impressed with her ability to get that far, moved Tommy from enforcement to something more fitting her more dexterous aptitudes: burglary and murder. Here, Tommy flourished. One year, ages after the half-orc had moved past Greger and found work in Dunekeep, an interesting contract came her way, one that was dangerous and high paying: to plunder Shar's Cloak from the Pool of Moons, guarded vigilantly by the Cloud Giant masters that lived on Sister’s Peak. Tommy, caught up in a ruse she didn’t foresee, was almost killed in the heist. She was saved, however, by a fellow thief, Janica Downbridge. The two fled the scene of the crime, and the Cloud Giants eventually stopped taking chase. Cedric Cyril, a noble from Dunekeep and perpetrator of the ruse, attempted to steal Shar’s Cloak while the artifacts guardians were preoccupied with the hired vagrants. The vestment, absconded without having been given the proper rites or blessings, caused the icy peaks of the mountain to rapidly melt, flooding Selune’s Hollow and killing a large swath of the population of the quiet town. Janica and Tommy never found out what happened to their employer. The two thieves became fast friends after their ordeal at Sister’s Peak. Tommy One-Eye swore her life in service to Janica, and the two began a freewheeling crime spree across Cetan, settling down in the coastal city of Bridgetown where they started their own thieves guild to rival others. After only a few years, they had rested control of the criminal underground of Bridgetown from their rivals and began a comfortable, well-paid life.Relationships
History
The two met during the failed heist of Shar's Cloak from Sister's Peak. Both a part of a small team hired by the noble Cedric Cyril, they were tricked into distracting the Cloud Giant guardians so that Cedric and his associates could make out with the divine garment. Dying slowly by a bolt from one of the giants, Janica returned for Tommy and helped the half-orc escape, and later nursed her back to health. The two thieves, only survivors from the failed heist, joined forces in a crime spree that spanned Cetan, eventually settling down in the coastal city of Bridgetown to form their own thieves guild. Tommy swore her life to her friend, and the two of them rested control of the criminal underground of Bridgetown.
