About Tom Paxton

Tom Paxton is a top-drawer agent for the Company with an impeccable resume. His extraordinary physical strength and agility as well as his talent for remaining undetected make him the ideal candidate for the job.

Paxton is tall (6’1”) and well-built with an athletic body.

Very little is known about his childhood. His father was initially a Secret Service agent, but later became an agent for The Company. His mother died when he was very young.  The tragic death of his mother in a bank robbery and growing up with a domineering father and no siblings affected his view of the world and left him to fend for himself at a young age.

As soon as he could, he joined the military.  Stationed in Burma for three years, Paxton had a short-lived relationship with a local woman.  As the relationship became too close for his comfort, he severed it abruptly. However, the woman gave birth to his daughter and Paxton still supports them, exposing traces of compassion – a rarely seen trait of his personality.

His ambition drove him to continue his military career at West Point, leaving his previous life in Burma behind. He graduated with honors and wound up joining the Secret Service. Shortly afterwards, he was recruited by the Company. Paxton was attracted by the Company’s goal-oriented approach, efficiency, no pencil-pushing all-action assignments, and the unscrupulous Machiavellianism of the leaders.

Paxton was on the fast track to leadership in the Company, getting more and more responsibilities and climbing up the hierarchy. He fully believed that what he’s doing was for the good of the country and a higher cause.  This belief, fueled by strong patriotism and combined with his extreme efficiency, makes him the perfect agent for the company. Two years ago his father was killed in the line of duty, working on an undercover assignment for The Company.

The Company is now his family. He respects the Company’s resoluteness and omnipresent power. Although being a man of action, Paxton believes people must be forced into prosperity, as the masses are too lethargic to get there themselves.  Above all, he believes in completing a mission – any mission – no matter what stands in between him and success.
