Little Thom

Little Thom is first seen as a skill trainer for warriors in the Barradin Estate in Ascalon. After the Searing, Farrah Cappo in Piken Square requested help in locating Little Thom with the quest The Red-Cloaked Deserter. He was said to have deserted the Ascalon forces whilst they were being attacked by the Charr.

As a henchman, he is labeled as a "Brawler Henchman."

Dialogue

 * Barradin Estate:
 * "They call me Little Thom, yar they do. I'm the axe trainer in these parts. Not to brag, but I'm the best there is. The fastest too. What would you like to talk about today?"


 * Towns and outposts:
 * "Don't tell anyone you've seen me. I've got a few "unpaid debts" if you know what I mean. I'm a survivor that's for sure. Word of advice, when I get started you had best stay out of my way, for when I am in the midst of combat I often cleave so mightily that I'll slice through friend only to encounter foe! Or is it the other way around? I forget."


 * Droknar's Forge (explorable area):
 * "That Cappo woman is a pain in my backside. I don't know if I should kill her or marry her."


 * Lion's Arch (War in Kryta):
 * "Yar! That was quite the battle was it not?"
