Your Character
He is your uncle. Although he supports your endeavors, he is concerned about your safety. In Book 1, Chapter 17, he lightly scolds you for freeing Tony Kowalski and confronting Eleanor Blake without back up. You gave him anxiety and he tells you not to do that to him again, especially when you're all that he has left. He also tells you that when you're ready to figure out what happened to your dad, he is ready too.

Mafalda Ginovesi
Mafalda worked with him in the past. If you spent time in Chapter 3 bonding with your crew, when Trystan asks you to describe Mafalda, you tell him that Uncle Tommy would call her a "hard ass", which she agrees.

Matty Maldonado
Matty is the dishwasher at his bar. After his bar was trashed and he realized Matty was missing, Tommy suspects the younger man was involved in the robbery. When Matty's mother, Sofia, comes to the bar and mentions that she borrowed money from Niko "The Butcher" Borodin, Tommy agrees with you that Niko is probably involved in Matty's disappearance and the robbery.

When Matty releases you and Trystan from the freezer Niko trapped you two in, Matty admits that he was working for Niko in an attempt to pay off his mother's loan. Niko had found out that Matty worked for Tommy at the Drunk Tank, and told the younger man if he knocked over the place, Niko would wipe Matty's mother loan clean. The money Matty stole was a front, and Jimmy's gun and badge was a f-you to Tommy. The true objective was Tommy's W-2s, his tax forms, which Niko planned to give to the Solonik Crime Family to commit synthetic identity theft. When you and Trystan foil their plans and have them arrested, Matty returns to the Drunk Tank with you two and apologizes to Tommy. Tommy forgives him and decides not to press charges against him.
