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 [[Farrah_Cappo|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?"''

== Quotes ==
=== Idle quotes ===
; Shiverpeak Mountains
: ''"Bah! 'Tis colder than an [[Ice Beast|ice beast]]'s rear end, it is!"''
: ''"I don't know how those wee fellas survive up here."''
: ''"I'd like to get my hands on a barrel of that [[Deldrimor]] [[grog]]. 'Tis tasty stuff, I hear."''
: ''"I've got snow in my boots."''
: ''"I've had enough snow to last a lifetime, so I have."''
: ''"Someone ought to build a fire."''
: ''"That [[King Jalis]] is a giant among [[Dwarves]]."''

; Kryta
: ''"Aye, a wee hut and a wee boat, and I could be happy for the rest of my days."''
: ''"I'd fancy a little hut on the beach, so I would."''
: ''"I'll wager the fishing here is excellent. Did you see that beast just off the shore?"''
: ''"There's something a little off about these [[White Mantle]] fellas, is there not?"''
: ''"To think not so long ago Kryta was the sworn enemy of Ascalon. I never thought to see these lands in peaceful times."''

; Maguuma Jungle
: ''"All manner of beasts have fallen to my axe, but I never thought to battle a plant!"''
: ''"I've heard tell of druids in this jungle."''
: ''"Monsters I can take, but these mosquitoes are not to be borne!"''
: ''"This place is not fit for man or beast."''
: ''"Those [[Centaur]]s are a testy lot, are they not?"''

; Crystal Desert
: ''"I'll wager the dead outnumber the living in this place."''
: ''"I tell yer, I don't like taking orders from a ghost."''
: ''"My old granddad used to tell us stories about this place. Tales of lost spirits and treasures untold."''
: ''"This place has claimed many lives, but it won't have mine, that's certain."''
: ''"What in [[Balthazar]]'s name are we doing out here?"''

; Ring of Fire island chain
: ''"I don't like to speak it aloud, but I fear this place is too much even for Little Thom."''
: ''"I thought the jungle was bad, but I'd take it over this hell hole any day!"''
: ''"I'm sweatin' like a pig, I am!"''
: ''"If I never see another volcano again, it'll be too soon."''
: ''"The sooner we put this place behind us, the better, I say."''

=== Battle quotes ===
; Normal
: ''"By the gods, ye'll be sorry ye met Little Thom!"''
: ''"Come now, don't keep me waiting. My axe is thirsty!"''
: ''"Foul creatures! Come and meet yer end!"''
: ''"I'll kill every one a' yer! Twice!"''
: ''"There's still time to run if you'd not face my axe!"''

; The Norn Fighting tournament
: ''"How would you like to be a wee bit shorter?"''

== Notes ==
* Wields either a [[Cleaver (Tyrian)|Tyrian Cleaver]] or [[Battle Axe (cleaver)|cleaver-type Battle Axe]], and a [[Militia Shield]].
* In the Norn Fighting Tournament he uses a build based on [[Hamstorm]].

{{bug| Little Thom occasionally leaves the party upon entering an outpost, despite being available for hire there. This seems to happen mostly in the [[Prophecies]] areas near [[Lion's Arch]], where there are usually 6 slots available in the party formation.}}

* '''List of towns and outposts Little Thom gets kicked out of, while still being a hireable henchman.''' This list is included to inform people which towns they will need to re-add Little Thom if they want him in their party.
** [[Beacon's Perch]]
** [[Beetletun]]
** [[Bergen Hot Springs]]
** [[Druid's Overlook]]
** [[Fisherman's Haven]]
** [[Gates of Kryta]]
** [[Lion's Arch]]
** [[Quarrel Falls]]
** [[Temple of the Ages]]
** [[The Amnoon Oasis]]
** [[The Frost Gate]]
** [[The Wilds]]

== Trivia ==
* His skills were updated in the [[Game updates/20091022|22nd October 2009 update]].
** This added [[Cleave]] (elite), [[Cyclone Axe]], [[Dismember]], [[Penetrating Blow]], [[Shield Bash]], and [[Sprint]], and removed [[Balanced Stance]], [[Executioner's Strike]], [[Swift Chop]], [[Wild Blow]], and [["Charge!"]] (elite) from his skills.
* The quote about King Jalis is most likely a variation of the phrase "A prince among men."
* The way in which Little Thom's quotes are written suggests he may have a Scottish accent.
* In Guild Wars 2 his gravestone can be found at [[The Granite Citadel]], saying he died defending it.
