Trivia[]
- The symbol on Tom's jacket is that of Mjölnir, the war hammer of the Thor, the Norse god of the sky. The same symbol is often used today by members of Asatru the modern day religion that worships the Norse gods. This, along with his admiration for his Viking heritage, may imply that Tom is a member of Asatru.
- It's been subtly implied that he and Jun might be developing feelings for each other.
- Prior to it being confirmed in Season 5, it was theorized by his name that he is a descendent of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III and Astrid Hofferson.
- His name, which translates to son of Haddock, further supports this theory.
- Tom also bears a striking resemblance to Astrid and Hiccup's son Nuffink, having his many great-grandmother's eye shape.
