'''Tom''', who was once known as '''"Mr. Friendly"''', is one of [[the Others]] who seems to be loyal to [[Ben]]. He appears to act as an unofficial spokesperson for the Others and it is believed that he is not a high ranking member; however, he is of some importance. He was wearing a [[fake beard]] during his early encounters with the survivors for an unknown reason. According to Ben, Tom is "''no one''" compared to the real leader {{crossref|2x18}}. While not technically in charge of the Others, Tom does have some authority as shown in his conversation with [[Ethan]] {{crossref|2x15}}, in his dealings with [[Alex]] and [[Pickett]] {{crossref|2x11}}{{crossref|2x22}}, and with the party that captured [[Hurley]], [[Jack]], [[Kate]] and [[Sawyer]] {{crossref|2x23}}.
 
   
==On the Island==
 
   
Back at the time when Claire was being held in [[the Staff]] station, a shaved and clean Tom wearing regular clothing instead of the dirty, haggard look in which he has shown himself to the crash survivors scolded [[Ethan]] for not making a [[list]] before bringing [[Claire]].[[Image:1X24 TomBoat.jpg|left|thumb|160px|"''Only, the thing is we're gonna have to take the boy.''"]] After hearing Ethan's explanation, he replied, "''You know what '''[[Him|He's]]''' going to do when he finds out.''" He was not wearing the [[fake beard]] at this time. {{crossref|2x15}}
 
   
Tom first appeared to the survivors on the [[raft]], on [[the Others' Boat|a boat]] alongside three Others: a pair of men, and an older woman. After a brief conversation with the [[survivors]] on the [[raft]], Tom declared they were going to take [[Walt|the boy]]. After [[Michael]] furiously refused and Sawyer grabbed his [[gun]], the boat's lights were shut off, and the Others attacked. They shot Sawyer in the shoulder, who fell to the water, and Jin jumped after him; they punched Michael and threw him from the raft; grabbed Walt, jumped back to their boat, and blew up the raft. Tom disappeared with his partners, as Michael watched and shouted his son's name. {{crossref|1x24}}
 
   
A month later, Tom, with the help of [[Danny Pickett|Danny]], [[Matthew]] and few more [[Others]] overtook [[Michael]], captured him with a sling or bolas, and took him hostage after he set off North to find [[Walt]]. Somehow, Tom knew that three of Michael's friends went after him. At a small campfire, where [[Alex]] waited for them, Tom took off Michael's bag from his head, prompting him to spit in his face. After Pickett captured [[Kate|a fellow survivor]] of Michael a kilometer behind Jack, Tom warned Michael that if he will make one sound, he will never see his son again. {{crossref|2x22}}
 
   
When [[Jack]], [[Sawyer]], and [[Locke]] finally caught up with Tom, he came out from the shadows, and warned them not to cross "[[the Line]]", meaning that they were not to explore the northern part of the Island. He said that doing so would change the situation from a "''misunderstanding''" to "''something else''". {{crossref|2x22}}, {{crossref|2x11}}
 
   
[[Image:2X11 DannyTomMichael.jpg|left|thumb|Tom leading the Others with a captive [[Michael]].]]
 
During this encounter, Tom revealed to the three survivors that [[Walt]] and the others he took, including [[Emma]] and [[Zack]], are still alive. Also, he referred to Walt as "''[[special]]''". He also quoted [[Alvar Hanso]], saying: "''You know, somebody a whole lot smarter than anybody here once said 'Since the dawn of our species, man's been blessed with curiosity''", and asked Jack if he knows the other one about curiosity, reffering to the statment that curiosity killed the cat. {{crossref|2x11}}
 
   
When [[Jack]] accused Tom of not having any real strength, instead having to rely on spies like [[Ethan Rom]] to infiltrate the survivors' [[camp]] and thus learning their names, Tom replied that this is an interesting theory. He suddenly yelled "''Light 'em up''", after which numerous torches were lit, implying that Jack's party were surrounded. Tom called Alex to bring "her" out, which was revealed to be Kate, but Pickett brought her instead. Tom held Kate hostage with what appears to be a WWI or WWII-era [[Germany|German]] Luger Parabellum P08 or Walther P38 pistol, and made [[Jack]], [[Sawyer]], and [[Locke]] surrender their guns. {{crossref|2x11}}[[Image:2X24 TomBeard.jpg|right|thumb|Tom removes his [[fake beard]] at [[Pala Ferry]]. {{crossref|2x23}}]]
 
<br />
 
After this encounter in [[the Line|the jungle]], Tom brought [[Michael]] to the [[the Others|Others']] [[Decoy village|camp]], where he left him to [[Ms. Klugh]] who took care of him for the rest 10 days. {{crossref|2x11}} {{crossref|2x22}}
 
   
13 days later, Tom led the group of Others after they successfully captured [[Jack]], [[Kate]], [[Sawyer]] and [[Hurley]], with the help of [[Michael]]. During this second encounter, Kate revealed to Tom that they know his beard is fake. As Tom did not understand her because her mouth was gagged with a piece of cloth, Ms. Klugh repeated Kate's revelation, saying "''she says she's knows your beard's fake, '''Tom'''''." Tom then removed his beard, commenting how much it itches, and thanks Klugh for revealing his name, referring to her as Bea, presumably her first name. After [[Ben]] arrived with [[the Others' boat]], he asked Tom where is his beard, to which Tom answered that the [[survivors]] know it is fake. After the prisoners exchange of [[Walt]] for the people who were on [[Lists#Bea Klugh's List|Klugh's list]], Tom helped take the prisoners away to the [[Hydra Island]]. {{crossref|2x23}}
 
   
[[Image:3X01 KateTomIvan.jpg|left|thumb|Tom and [[Ivan]] bring [[Kate]] to her breakfast with [[Ben]].]]
 
The next day, Tom was in charge of taking care of [[Kate]] before her breakfast with [[Ben]]. He woke her up in the locker room, which also included showers. When Kate told him that she was not taking a shower in front of him, he said "''you're not my type''". After the shower, Tom gave Kate a dress, instead of her regular clothes which the Others burned. He led her to a beach where Ben was waiting for her.<br />
 
At the [[cages]] area, where [[Sawyer]] was being held, another prisoner named [[Karl]] escaped from his cage and freed Sawyer. Karl was captured by several Others, including Tom, who made him apologize to Sawyer for using him for his own escape. He was then taken away to an unknown fate.<br />
 
After her breakfast, he led her to the [[cage]] that used to be [[Karl]]'s. During this scene, a [[:Image:3x01-Tom-Ring.png|ring]] is visible on Tom's hand, located specifically on his left finger, although Tom's marital status has not yet been verified. Sawyer showed him the [[fish biscuit]] he got after figuring out their "complicated gizmos". Tom noted that it only took the [[polar bears]] two hours. {{crossref|3x01}}
 
<br />
 
Following the prisoner's first day on the Hydra Island, Tom and Danny took Kate and Sawyer to a [[Quarry|rock clearing quarry]]. While they were going to the labor area, an Other named [[Colleen]] approached them, kissed [[Danny Pickett|Danny]] and enlisted Tom for her strike team which was sent by Ben to capture the survivors' [[sailboat]]. They reached the boat without being seen by [[Sayid]] or [[Jin]], who were guarding the boat, possibly using the "[[Galaga]]". On the boat, [[Sun]] shot Colleen in the stomach, and tried to escape. Tom and [[Ivan]] opened fire, and Sun escaped. {{crossref|3x02}}
 
   
[[Image:3X06 TomWalkie.jpg|right|thumb|160px|Tom ordering Danny to give the Walkie to Kate]]
 
When the strike team returned with an injured Colleen to the [[Hydra island]], they all hurried to the operating room, where [[Juliet]] tried to save her life. Tom on the other hand went with Ben, [[Matthew]] and [[Jason (Other)|Jason]] to the underwater section of [[the Hydra]] station, where they tortured [[Sawyer]]. After Sawyer was released, Tom went back to the operation room, where [[Jack]] helped Juliet with Colleen's surgery, which eventually failed. {{crossref|3x04}}

HA HA HA
During Ben's operation, which was supervised by Tom, [[Jack]] purposely made a small incision in Ben's kidney, giving him an estimated one hour to live, and demanded from Tom his [[Walkie|walkie-talkie]] so he could speak to Kate. Tom succumbed to Jack's blackmail when he was holding Ben's life hostage. This action, plus his role in rescuing Ben and capturing Jack, Kate, and Sawyer, indicate he's loyal to Ben. He contacted Danny, who was just about to pull the trigger and kill Sawyer received his call, and was told to give the walkie-talkie to Kate, or Jack will kill Ben. {{crossref|3x06}}
 
   
Right after Kate and Sawyer's escape, Juliet orders [[Ivan]] to find [[Danny Pickett|Danny]] and go after Jack's friends. Jack them revealed Juliet's plan on killing Ben during the surgery. Juliet denied this, and told Tom that Jack is lying. After Juliet left, Tom asked Jack if this is the truth, and Jack confirms him that it is. After Ben suddenly woke up and demanded to talk to Juliet, Tom and Jack were watching them from the waiting room.[[Image:3X07 TomJackSergury.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Tom holds the [[walkie]] during the surgery, while [[Kate]] telling to the "[[Count to 5]]" story.]] He introduces himself as Tom, to which Jack does not answer. When Juliet started to cry during her talk with Ben, Tom commented that they have a history together. {{crossref|3x07}}
 
   
As Juliet left to help Kate and Sawyer escape, Jack enlisted Tom's help with finishing the surgery. Tom seemed to have problems with blood, and made the mistake of revealing this to Jack, who subsequently showed him the bloody [[tumor]] he removed from Ben's spine. Tom also listened to Kate's confirmation story, the same story Jack told her 73 days ago. While listening to this story, Jack completed the surgery. {{crossref|3x07}}
 
   
Tom has twice referenced to the moment "''when the sky went purple''". The first time was in regard to communications {{crossref|3x04}}, the second time was when Jack asked why they didn't take Ben to a proper facility for his spinal surgery. Tom began his explanation, but he was cut off before he could fully explain it. {{crossref|3x07}}
 
   
After the surgery was done, Jack was transferred out of his cell to a cage. He had an intense conversation with Jack, who believed that the Others will kill him, since they do not need him anymore. Tom asked for an explanation, and Jack replied that people who abduct a pregnant girl and hang a guy from a tree are not good people. Once Jack was transferred into [[cage|Sawyer's cage]], Tom gave him food, and discovered that Jack knows about the [[video surveillance]]. When Jack asked him about [[Isabel|the woman]] who arrested [[Juliet]], Tom replied that she is the sheriff. {{crossref|3x09}}
 
   
After Jack and [[Alex]] stopped Juliet's trial, Tom grabbed Jack by his shirt, demanding to know why he was there. Isabel calmed him down, and read a note from Ben, who ordered to stop the surgery, and to [[Juliet's mark|mark]] Juliet for her betrayal. <br>
 
Later that day, [[the Others]] left the [[Hydra Island]], believing that [[Kate]] and [[Sawyer]] would tell the other survivors about [[the Hydra]] and would lead them to the second island. Tom left as well, on [[the Others' yacht]]. {{crossref|3x09}}
 
   
After 6 days, Tom was seen by [[Sayid]], [[Locke]], [[Kate]] and [[Danielle]] playing football with Jack at the [[Barracks]]. {{crossref|3x12}}
 
   
==Trivia==
 
* Mr. Friendly (or someone looking a lot like him) appeared in the audience of ''Jimmy Kimmel Live'' on May 12, 2006. [[J.J. Abrams]] was guest-directing the show. When Kimmel commented on Mr. Friendly’s appearance, Mr. Friendly responded with a sentence that was obviously pre-recorded and played backwards. <small>([http://lost-media.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&lid=565 Lost-Media])</small>
 
* Many fans thought that he was the silver-haired man on the stretcher in the hospital in {{ep|3x01}}, which [[Jack]] was treating when he was trying to eavesdrop on [[Christian Shephard]]. This resemblance was refuted {{crossref|Official Lost Podcast transcript/October 09, 2006}} when [[Damon Lindelof]] said that there is no [[character connections|connection]].
 
* Tom does not like the sight of blood.
 
*Tom is the only known [[Other]] to have had appearances in all three seasons of the show following a conventional, ongoing timeline. The only other known [[Other]] to have had appearances across all three seasons is [[Ethan]], although his two appearances over the course of the latter two seasons have only been in a flashback capacity following his death in the first season.
 
   
==Unanswered Questions==
 
{{NavMinor-Unanswered}}
 
* What did he mean when he said "''You're not my type''"? {{crossref|3x01}}
