Tom Higgins

Basics
Before the Great War, Tom Higgins was a member of the United States Army and initially assigned to one of the units connected to experimental program involving the development of deathclaws as replacement soldiers. Disgruntled with his post, Higgins earned a transfer to the Vault 76 unit when he opened fire on a tank containing an experimental creature. When the bombs fell, Higgins was included in the military group that was permitted within the vault. Once inside, he worked in security and helped to prepare his fellow vault dwellers for the eventual Reclamation Day. When the vault opened, Higgins sought out Connor Johns, and naturally fell into the New Responders as a man dedicated to helping secure a future for others just trying to survive against the the greater threats of Appalachia.
