Thomas Kennedy is the only child of Padraig (deceased) and Maire Kennedy of Belfast. His parents are/were devout protestants – his father fought on the anti-treaty side of the war due to feelings that it kowtowed too much to the British and thus didn't give enough independence to Ireland. Unfortunately he was caught and executed under the Emergency Powers Bill for bearing arms against the state, and his death would end up souring his son against Ireland the state, though not against Ireland the culture. Thomas still works towards learning the customs, culture, and language of Ireland even though he grew up in British-dominated Northern Ireland.
As he grew up, he showed a great deal of intelligence at first, but the dark, stoic classrooms of the time bored him and so he was seen as an unruly, unmanageable child with barely passing grades by the time he would have reached secondary schools. Due to being the only son of a widow, he ended up as an apprentice to a local blacksmith/repairman to supplement the family's income, and so he ended up learning a good deal about working with metals and also the ins and outs of mechanical devices.
When the second World War broke out, Thomas immediately volunteered in order to secure the pension for his mother, which was higher than his pay at the local shop. He was picked out as a keen eye and thus given training in working with rifles, particularly in sniping. His intelligence and ability to be stealthy was also remarked upon, and thus he ended up getting pulled off onto special assignments when those attributes could be utilized.
