Old Tom is not like the other zombies... Instead of being grown in the green houses of Master Fontanell (situated on top of the "Old World Cemetary" just outside of Marienhof), he actually used to be a dwarven blitzer.

Playing coach Svart's THS United the Blossoms managed eith the improbable task of actually killing two players. One was saved by the apothecary and the other (old Tom), not so lucky, was turned into a zombie, much to the dismay of the other Blossoms.

Being a Blossom requires skill, technique, a beautifully trimmed exterior, etc... Things old Tom will never have, mainly due to being slammed hard into the ground and jumped upon by an angry zombie, before turning into a zombie himself. Master Fontanell is doing his best though, right now looking up strange botanical findings in his flora, to find old Tom a decent place in the flower bed.
