Biography[]
Early life[]
Thomas Cross was born in 1967 in the United States. He became a businessman, eventually owning his own company. He sired a son, Jordan Cross, spoiling him heavily as Jordan grew up. In 1998, Cross attended art collector Kalvin Ritter's party on his boat, the Night Thief, in Sydney, Australia. There, he received a call from Providence Herald Terrance Jones, who invited him to a meeting in London, where Cross was recruited as an operative.
Providence[]
Over the course of the next two decades, Cross created Cross Holdings and built it into an empire, becoming a multi-billionaire. He became very reclusive as a member of Providence, having the location of his Costa Rica estate tightly guarded. Cross donated extensive amounts of money to the Republican Party, and began the groundwork for a space station.
Additionally, Cross' relationship with his son deteriorated; as Cross was very cold and manipulative, Jordan began to distance himself away from his father. Despite this, when Jordan murdered his girlfriend, Hannah Highmoore, Cross begged his lawyer, Ken Morgan, to make the charges go away at all costs. Morgan successfully accomplished this task, to Cross' relief. Dexy Barat, Jordan's manager, kept an eye on Jordan for Cross; in exchange for large sums of money, she would not leak the tape of Highmoore's murder. By 2019, at the orders of Providence, Cross had stopped donating to the Republican Party and instead to the Democratic Party despite many Democratic politicians heavily disliking him.
Death[]
Jordan's 27th birthday party on 16 November 2019 was hosted at the Himmapan Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand (which Cross owned). Cross sent his son a custom-made vegan birthday cake, to his son's chagrin. He also sent Morgan to retrieve Barat's recording of the murder, in order to take leverage away from her.
After Morgan and Jordan's assassinations by ICA agent 47, Thomas Cross attended his son's funeral in New York on 28 November, where he was kidnapped by Lucas Grey's Militia. This was entirely orchestrated by Grey in order to draw Cross out from his estate. Cross' accounts were flushed into the pockets of the Militia, before he was killed for his role in Providence.
