Tom Breckenridge is one of the more obscure figures in [[Myrken Wood]], being nothing more than a slight, frail figure with stringy, ratty hair, eternally battered brown robes, a floppy brown hat, and a horrendous accent that clips off at least a little from most words. He has been the sole survivor of at least one deadly incident, which claimed the lives of his only remaining familyKnown throughout town as a wandering lunatic, "Ol' Tom" is generally seen as quite, quite harmless--an aged herbalist far too affected by his years of being around such substances and the presumed snapping of his sanity at the deaths of his family.

His little remaining hair and what passes for a beard are gray and stringy, with no visible traces of their original brown.
