Biography[]

Early Life[]

Tom was born sometime in 1996 to Michael and his deceased wizard wife Helen Clarke. But on Halloween in 2006 when Tom was 10-years-old, Helen dies saving him from an entity (which Tom discovered six years later to be a probe, the Nekross sent to Earth to search for Magic).

Arrival of the Nekross[]

Tom likes to play football and played for his school team. However, he used magic in order to score goals.

During a school trip to the gathering of stones, he and Benny discovered a small device, which he recognized as a wizard's ring, but Benny was certain it was worth scientific investigation because contact with Tom had made it glow. Benny was unaware of the ring's magical nature.

Tom later found Benny inside the school, claiming that Miss Webster was an alien or had at least been possessed by an alien. He soon believed him as they were being attacked by a creature clinging to the teacher's back. He was forced to use one of his spells in order to protect them. He was then annoyed when having to explain that he was magical to Benny. Another alien, a Nekross named Lexi, appeared pointing a gun at them both. Tom realized that he had used all of his spells for the day. Even after his grandmother had arrived they were transported to the Nekross' ship The Zarantulus.

Aboard the ship the Nekross vowed to consume all magic. Tom was shocked to meet The Nekross King, which appeared to be an engrossed head. Just managing to escape their grasp using a football, Tom found the teleportation system and teleported back to Earth. He arrived at the school and told Benny to go home because of the danger.

Benny didn't listen to Tom, so (to the wizard's frustration) Tom was forced to take him to his house. There he pondered over whether to enter The Chamber of Crowe or not, knowing that he was not allowed. They walked inside and discovered loads of concoctions and books all over the place. A Hobgoblin appeared by the name of Randal Moon, and stopping it from attacking Benny, Tom shouted out that Ursula Crowe was in danger. The creature listened and decided to create something.

They soon created a Passing Spell, which would allow them to transport to the Nekross Ship. However, when trying the spell, they arrived in the gathering of stones instead. The Nekross ship soon found them and transported them on board. They along with Tom's dad, were taken to the main chamber where Ursula had been placed inside the Extractor.

After Michael used an egg that he had discovered inside the Chamber of Crowe, they managed to escape through blinding light and reached the teleport system, which had unfortunately been disabled. But they closed the door, stopping the Nekross from entering.

To Tom's surprise, Benny had pointed out the sun, which was rising, meaning that their magic was returning. They entered the car and Tom used a protective spell around the car in order for them to travel through space.

Landing back on Earth, Tom exclaimed over the sea that the battle had only just begun.Dawn of the Nekross

Currently, Tom still battles the Nekross now led by a now King Regent Varg and his wife and the Queen Regent Lady Lyzera. Tom also had to deal with Benny going off to America to attend The Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Tom later meets and befriends a girl named Jazz who helps him fight the Nekross and The High Wraith Warlock (who had previously battled Tom's ancestor Caractacus Crowe).

In the Neverside[]

Tom ended up trapped in the Neverside with Lexi after investigating some mysterious disappearances at Wyvern House. With time running faster than the normal world, 20 years passed in which Tom grew closer to the human Lexi, resulting in Lexi bearing a child, Benny Jr. He became competent at surviving, developing skills in fishing and even constructing a makeshift set of goals for his son to play football with out of branches.

However when they left the Neverside with help from Benny and Ursula, Tom and the rest of the gang returned to the state they were in before and consequently Benny Jr vanished because he was part of the Neverside. Tom was informed that the time he spent in the Neverside with Lexi would eventually fade away and become like a dream, like it never even happened. The Thirteenth Floor
