Biography[]
Tam Brodie is the head of the Irish mob in an alternative universe Empire Bay during the 1950s. He, along with Italian mob boss Sal Gravina, work under the corrupt Judge Hillwood who runs the criminal underworld in the city. Tam and Sal become involved with freelance hitman Jimmy, and hire him to help them out in different jobs to help take out their rivals. Tam uses Jimmy to solve his problems with the Empire Bay Triads and their leader Eddie Fu, who keep interfering in his business. Jimmy obliged Tam's jobs and eventually wiped out the Triads, which included Eddie Fu himself.
After having no use for Jimmy, Hillwood, Tam and Sal conspired to stitch Jimmy up and imprison him. They hire him to unknowingly steal a car containing drugs, which results in Jimmy's arrest and being sent to prison for 15 years.
Shortly after, Jimmy escaped during a prison riot and returned to Empire Bay to get revenge. He took revenge on Tam and Sal by targeting their main businesses as well as assassinating people working in their respected gangs. Tam took refuge at the Empire Bay Forge, but Jimmy tracked him down and killed him. Jimmy would later finish off Sal and Hillwood, thus destroying their criminal empire once and for all.
