Farrah Cappo
“Little Thom is dead? I don’t think so. That weasel had a special talent for hiding from danger. The badge you say you found on his body is only further proof it wasn’t him. You see, he lost that badge gambling two nights before we crossed the Wall.”

“At any rate, I appreciate the trouble you went to in looking for him. You know, it pleases me to think he’s still alive, running around out there, causing trouble still… Means I still have a chance to be the one to give him his comeuppance. Yeah, I’m going to enjoy that.”

It seems he had some sort of a gambling problem?
His Dialogue in towns and outpost

“Don’t tell anyone you’ve seen me. I’ve got a few “unpaid debts” if you know what I mean. I’m a survivor that’s for sure.”

While the story line is not very clear on him…
Little Thom is alive out there …
