Tom Cummings

Tom Cummings is American agent in Camp X

Earlier life
In his civilian life, Cummings worked on Madison Avenue where he was a rising player in the advertising world. While America remained neutral, Tom took part in strategy and planning sessions designed to mobilize the general American public into support for participation in the war. After Pearl Harbor, Cummings was recruited out of Morale Operations and became the first American to enter the field as an agent.

Field Experience
Began in Morale Ops, specializing in recruitment posters and black propaganda operations targeted at damaging German morale. Cummings’s attention to detail makes him exceptionally skilled as a forger.

Tom is gravely injured, and the team has to soldier on without him. Haunted by knowledge of the horrors of the Holocaust, Tom returns changed from his recovery at Camp X: the former ad man with the gift for persuasion, who prefers to deploy words over bullets, has learned that there are some struggles worth killing for. Tom becomes the driven, binding force for the team, witnessing the disturbing changes among our spies, and working hard to heal them.

Specialization
Forgery, deception, photography, and advertising. He is fluent in English and has a working knowledge of French and German.

Tom is seen bringing the X Company team fake papers which he forged by hand to match legitimate ones.

Tom’s civilian skills are highly effective in the field. His confidence and charisma enable him to sell any lie and manipulate others to accomplish his mission.

Relationships
Krystina Breeland

When Tom gets shot rescuing Jews from being carted to a death camp with the help of Neil Mackay, he returns back to Camp X for some healing time out of the field. And after coming so close to death, the “no-strings” fling he and Krystina are enjoying comes to mean more to Tom than he realizes. They kiss one night during a gathering, and soon after, he tells her that he is going to go back into the field.
