Thomas "Tom" Jennings (1944 - 1968) was a handyman who worked for Roger Collins. Tom was the legal guardian of his younger sister, Amy Jennings, whom he was very close to. He also had a twin brother named Chris Jennings. Tom was helping Roger make sure the House by the sea was in good shape for Nicholas Blair to move into, when he stumbled upon the coffin of Angelique (554). He was attacked by Angelique, and hospitalized, but as he began to awaken (562), Nicholas sent Angelique to finish him off (563). Barnabas, believing that Tom would rise as a vampire, tried to immediately stake him, but found only an empty coffin (564).
