Tom

Tom is the manservant of Zorabel the Pirate Queen of Scourge Bay. He is a tall and muscular human, with chalk-white skin and a vacant expression. He wears a black suit and black top hat, with a red bowtie. He does not talk, and may not be able to.

He also seems to be incredibly strong, since he was able to lift a heavy chest full of ancient documents, while Knuckles could only drag it.

Trivia
Tom seems somewhat similar to depictions of zonbi (zombies) in the folklore of Haitian Vodou (voodoo). Zombies are people that are put under a magical spell by a bokor (sorceror), so that they become mindless automatons bound to the sorceror's control, unable to speak or think for themselves. They are said to have blank expressions like dead men.
