It is rather symbolic that he married the leader Maria, emphasizing how he views the customs just equally (if not more) of import than his blood brother Joel. Notwithstanding, later on seeing his brother care for Ellie'southward safety, he sympathizes with the man and changes his listen, wanting to spare Joel the pain he suffered years earlier.[3]

He is enraged at Joel's decease at the hands of Abby and her group, leading to Tommy hunting downward Abby to both avenge Joel and to continue Ellie from doing it herself.[seven] Even a year from Joel's decease, Tommy remained determined to avenge his brother, with the man ordering Ellie to impale Abby in his place because he was at present unable to kill her himself.[thirteen]

Although he loved her, he was willing to help his brother after some persuasion despite Maria's protests, informing her he "had to do this."[three]
