Tommy Corrigan
Tommy Corrigan was a twelve-year-old boy from the late 19th century who worked at the Crystal Palace in London ever since he left school.
Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
When Jenny Flint asked Tommy if he'd seen anything "odd" at the Crystal Palace, he mentioned that Lady Cornelia Basildon-Stone, the woman behind the Brazilian Rainforest exhibition there, spent a lot of money replacing the glass on the Palace roof.
After Jenny offered Tommy a pound, he showed Jenny and Strax a way into the Palace via a disused service tunnel. After Basildon-Stone's servant Ajeeth mutated the London police on patrol at the Palace into human-wasp hybrids to serve as Lady Basildon-Stone's drones, Tommy, Strax, Jenny rushed to try and find a way out.
When Jenny realised that the gas in the Palace's pipes was what caused the mutations, Tommy pointed Jenny and Strax to the point of origin of the pipes: the boiler room. The "boiler" had in fact been a genetic splicer hidden behind holographic camouflage. Strax blew up the genetic splicer with a grenade, reversing the effects of the mutations in the policemen and in Lady Basildon-Stone; Lady Basildon-Stone's plans to forge a "new British Empire" with her drones and offspring had failed, and she fell to her death while in flight.
