"Short" Tom Anderson has an odd, uncomfortable look to him. A short, round body topped with an awkward hat always on the verge of sliding off his head, he'd be comical if one didn't accept the fact that he drank blood like any other kindred. While not a dumb fellow, Tom has an odd habit of not fully following any conversation he is involved in...mind wandering to where it pleases.

While most are disinterested in his personal life, Tom moved to the city in the early 1940's, buying up a number of properties from families desperate for money with their primary bread-earners away at war and possibly never returning. Today Tom owns a number of small buildings around the south and west sides: garages that mostly deal in body and detail work. While Tom can't tell a "Rim" from a "Spinna", he can tell a good rent check from bad at fourty paces.

Tom spends many of his nights engaged in small talk and rumor gathering at the Oriental Hotel and The Hole in the Wall, where he frequents a poker game with Frank Kleidstown and Kramp.

Alexander Crane has shown particular affection towards Tom, regularly schmozing with him on the night's events and mysteries.

Short Tom Anderson is a prop NPC- used by paylers who need to have other Kindred present during on-line scenes for dialouge purposes. Tom has made minor appearances in game, but his purpose is mainly for IC list pontifications. He frequents any establishment that will have him.
