Tom Gurney

Tom Gurney is a character in the "Bully", and is a member of the Bullies gang.

Role in Game
Tom only appears in the missions The Setup and Save Algie as backup, although his encounter in the later one is optional. Although he is present in 2 missions, he has no cutscene appearances at all or any mission-specific audio. However, since he has no mission specific behavior for Welcome to Bullworth, he is the only Bully who will respawn in that mission if the player attempts free roam instead of quickly completing it.

Characteristics
Despite being as much of a bully as the rest of the clique, Tom seems to be more mature than the others. Some of his dialogue indicates that doesn't enjoy being a bully as much as the rest of the Bullies and feels guilty about what he's done to others. It's also indicated that he cares about his friends quite a bit. He's paranoid and says that he can't trust anyone, believing that everybody is out to get him and frequently claims that everyone picks on him, though he may be imagining it. He apparently steals panties for Mr. Burton, and hopes that he will get to keep a pair soon. Tom can be heard saying "I heard that the new kid keeps hassling the Preps, that's cool. I hate the Preps". There is no explanation on why this is though. Tom's hobby seems to be watching horror movies. A few of his comments indicate that he suffers from double vision, possibly a side-effect of whatever gave him his black eye. For some reason he really hates wearing shoes. This may be a reference to Tom Sawyer, who also hated footwear.
