A burly human male with a thick beard and a weathered face, Big Tom wears a grease-stained mechanic's apron over rugged clothing. His hands are calloused from years of work, and he has sharp blue eyes that seem to miss nothing. A massive handgun usually rests in the stall next to him, a remnant from his field days, and he carries an air of quiet authority that belies his jovial exterior.

Grizzled, loud, and sarcastic, Big Tom is practical and resourceful, with a deep understanding of the espionage world. He prefers to work behind the scenes, avoiding the spotlight, but commands respect when he speaks. His loyalty to MI6 and the people of Al-Qatara drives him to quietly support those in need, even as he navigates the dangerous waters of espionage.

Thomas 'Big Tom' Douglas is a grizzled MI6 Field Quartermaster operating undercover in the bustling Zahran souk. While he presents himself as a modest mechanic selling retro radios and vehicle parts, he secretly runs a direct line to MI6, providing agents with essential equipment and support. Known for his loud and sarcastic demeanor, he has a reputation for being quietly dangerous, having spent years in the field and earning the respect of even the most seasoned spies. He harbors a vendetta against Tarkhanov and the Directorate, using his resources to fund repairs for the local water filtration station in the slums, believing in the importance of saving lives in a world filled with chaos.
