Family
Thomas is the only child of Oliver and Emily Tolson, and is the 28th Baron of Middleton. He is married to Katherine Tolson, and has two children: Edward Tolson and Charlotte Tolson.
Childhood (1760-1771)
Thomas grew up in a loving home, and as the only child, he was doted upon by both his mother and father. As such, he grew up to become quite spoiled and self-centered, caring little for those around him, and only concerned with his own well-being. This behaviour would follow him into adulthood, and manifest itself in abusive behaviour.
Schooling (1771-1779)
Thomas was trundled off to Eton as soon as he came of age, and spent his first few years being bullied, as he expected school to be as kind to him as his parents had been. As he grew older, he turned to bullying the younger students. He was very good at arithmetic at school, but was not accepted to any universities upon his graduation from Eton.
Inheritance and the East India Company (1775-1783)
Thomas had not been aware of his parents financial situation at all throughout his childhood or schooling, and he was also unaware about the trouble that his father had found himself in. The Baronry of Middleton was a small title, quite inconsequential, despite it's age. Very little attention was paid to the Baron and his family, and over time, Oliver Tolson found himself searching for ways to monetarily support his family. The answer came in the form of the East India Company, who promised great riches and fortunes for their investors. Oliver Tolson chose to place his faith in the company, and sent off a large sum of money to the Company. Trouble began in 1775, when the corruption of the Company was discovered, placing Oliver in a very interesting situation. While Oliver tried to manage his accounts and investments from England, he found it exceedingly difficult and succumbed to the stress, dying in 1782.
Marriage and India (1783-1810)
Now at the age of 23, Thomas found himself with a title, a summons to India, and no idea how to go about fixing the trouble his father had started.
