Tommy Richards

Thomas 'Tommy' Richards is a suspected Resistance member who operated mainly in New York City. A warrant for his arrest was given after his organisation, the primarily Brazil-based 'Third Party' was uncovered in New York.

History
Tommy, or Thomas Jnr as he was known to his family, was not the perfect child. As soon as he was old enough to understand politics, he violently opposed his father's business and the Atlas Government in general. Despite this burning hatred for the establishment and the strained relationship with his CEO father, uncaring mother and oblivious older sister, Tommy tried to maintain a polite front in front of everyone.

Yet Another Selfish Family Member
When Tommy was 14 years old, Thomas Senior admitted that he had cheated on his wife and had a child with another woman. This made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. Tommy's family life was never truly the same once Gwen Williams arrived. Yet another person like his father, and he watched from the sidelines as per usual.

Resistance Efforts
Tommy left home at 17. He had watched as his siblings had followed his father into the 'family trade.' Sky had begun making a name for herself in Hollywood, using Thomas Richards' reputation and wealth to slide into sought after roles. Gwen had gone into designing actual weapons for some big shot company after getting into MIT through Richards' connections. Tommy just couldn't be near these people anymore, they had no morals for him to respect.

So he joined a political group called 'The Third Party.' The Third Party were a Brazilian group that had stretched further out into Coalition territory, and they were trying to create a foothold by helping those in dire situations. They were not officially a Resistance Group yet, and had not broken any Atlas law by existing, but this was obviously not going to last.

Tommy acted as an investor to them, making the excuse that he was taking up a golfing scholarship at a University. He managed to funnel millions of dollars to their cause before his father finally caught on in mid-2038. Thomas Richards reported his son to the Atlas Security Force after a long hesitation, and The Third Party were classified as terrorists.

Fleeing Atlas
Tommy was left in a terrifying situation where he was forced to flee from the full might of the Security Force. His support network disappeared, ditching their benefactor and leaving him to the dogs. Tommy was barely able to flee the city, and found himself desperately searching for places to hide.

He attempted to contact his sisters, but Sky reported his location to the Atlas Security Force. Gwen did not respond to his calls, and he was backed into a corner before he was saved by a mercenary group hired by Santiago Alejandro. At the time, Alejandro was still grieving after Gwen Williams' brutal injuries and was in the midst of preparing Operation Lightswitch. Due to Williams being incapacitated, the voicemail had fallen through to Santiago and he had made sure to rescue Tommy.

Tommy accompanied Dr Alejandro, Gwen Williams and their co-workers when they fled North to the Adamantine Guard.
