Background Info: A young, 24 year old Naval Officer hailing from outside Boston, Massachusetts; Tom Boyd is a friendly enough man with the distinctive rapid-fire Boston accent in his voice, intelligence and compassion in his eyes and in complete astonishment at his newly discovered Talents. This Talent is a form of weather control that allows Tom to create clouds, fog and even rain in an approximately 30 foot cubic area. He must be outside and closing his eyes to be able to do this and he can even generate lightning bolts inside the 'rain squall' that can inflict lethal damage to someone or even inflicting light damage on structures/vehicles. He can generate these rain squalls anywhere within about 200 yards or so.
Boyd is a quick study, friendly and quite charming with developing leadership abilities and is an excellent sailor and navigator with all manner of small craft and vessels up to and including Destroyers. He is NOT particularly gifted with any kind of firearms or small unit tactics and while he is doing his best to learn, he is more than happy to defer to the Marines and other more experienced 'ground pounders' in SST 4 when it comes time for those parts of the mission.
