Thomas "Tommy" Pierce (also known as Old Tommy) was Head of Alien Acquisitions at Torchwood One.
Biography
By 2005, Tommy was known as one of the old guard, having worked there before the move to Canary Wharf Tower and being rather old-fashioned. He was an alcoholic and gave up drinking. In 2005, his personal assistant resigned, with Guleraana Arbid later claiming that he could not handle Tommy.
Yvonne Hartman hired Rachel Allan as Tommy's new assistant. He looked at the transmat that Kenny and his team retrieved from Royal Hope Hospital. During a meeting with Miladar of the Korvax First Brood, Rachel caused a fight between Tommy and Kieran Frost by telling them that Patrick had told her that Yvonne planned to fire Tommy and replace him with Kieran.
Rachel got Tommy drunk by giving him coffee laced with alcohol before suggesting he test out the transmat on Moira, sending her to a ship in the North Sea. She then planted retcon on him, which everybody saw as an obvious framing. Nonetheless, Tommy was suspended and Rachel was given his job. This had the effect of sowing distrust amongst Torchwood. Yvonne ensured that he was given help for his alcoholism.
Rachel called Tommy to ask if there was any evidence of who had framed him. He told her that CCTV had been down and refused to meet, not wanting her to risk her job. He told her to watch out. (AUDIO: New Girl)
Tommy returned to Torchwood after Yvonne was framed for the death of Dean and Pippa appointed Rachel as director. Like the others, he believed that Yvonne had indeed killed Dean. (AUDIO: Through the Ruins) Yvonne was later reinstated and Rachel exposed and retconned. (AUDIO: Uprising)
Tommy assisted Yvonne and Ianto Jones in combating the Law Machines, falling for Fiona McAndrew in the process and being devastated after her death. They were successful in stopping the Law Machines. (AUDIO: The Law Machines)
Personality
Tommy was a genius, but was very much a member of "old Torchwood" and was misogynistic. He resented going to meetings and, like the other heads of department, neglected to prepare for them. He was a recovering alcoholic. (AUDIO: New Girl)
