Simon/Ava Montjoy
Tommy has known Simon/Ava since they went to Fulton together as "nippers" (young children), then Kingsbridge university. When he stays at the Barrington house, he stays in the Pevensie Room. During your dive into the Montjoy past, you find photos of tween-aged Tommy and Simon/Ava in a tree fort, on horseback, and even a sleepover selfie. If asked, Simon/Ava will say that Tommy is his/her best friend. Simon/Ava confided in Tommy about the reason he/she ended the engagement with Arabella Fitzwilliams.

Your Character
In Chapter 3, you meet him when Simon/Ava invites you to meet his grandparents. As a fellow "commoner", he appears to be helpful when you're navigating through the social nuances of British society. When you meet up with Simon/Ava's lot of friends, Tommy is there. While the rest are nonchalant about throwing their credit cards around and spending enormous amounts of money, you catch glimpses of Tommy bracing himself or cursing under his breath about the costs. If you spent time looking through Simon/Ava's album in his/her London loft, you find a handwritten note paper-clipped to a voided check for 15000 pounds. There Tommy writes Simon/Ava thanking him/her for the thought but to not send him money. When you bring it up to Tommy in Chapter 9, he is embarrassed and you apologize.

Trivia

 * His character model resembles the Magnusson triplets from Bachelorette Party.
