Tom was very excitable, stealthy, and determined to complete his mission.
Background[]
As Stocking attempts to fix her destroyed Honekoneko doll, Tom drops into the church via a cable wire and claims that her decision to fix Honekoneko will trigger a chain of events that leads to an army of Honekoneko dolls dictating the world and oppressing humanity. He tries to destroy Honekoneko before the Honekonator emerges into the church to kill Tom. With the help of Stocking, Tom leads the Honekonator into the streets of Daten City and kills him.
After Stocking traveled back in time to get the creator of Honekoneko (who turned out to be Garterbelt) to fix Honekoneko, Tom approached Garterbelt and shot him numerous times in order to prevent the Honekoneko dolls from taking over the world. Unbeknownst to Tom, however, Garterbelt is immortal and thus survived the shooting. This somehow sets off a domino effect that leads to Tom's death, as implied by him and his signature disappearing from a picture with his brother and sister at the end of the episode.
