Tom Wachowski

Sheriff Thomas Michael Wachowski, better known as simply Tom, is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog film series produced by Paramount Pictures and its spin-offs. He is a human and the local sheriff of Green Hills, Montana. Growing world-weary in Green Hills, Tom sought to move to San Francisco for new opportunities to protect others from danger. Before his relocation however, he befriended Sonic the Hedgehog, who helped him realize his importance as a hero to the citizens he has worked with for years. Eventually, after helping Sonic dispose of Dr. Robotnik, he was convinced to stay in Green Hills, where he took Sonic in as a part of the Wachowski family. While living with Sonic, Tom became a father figure to the hedgehog. After leaving him home alone to go with Maddie to Hawaii for Rachel and Randall's wedding, Tom would eventually have to help Sonic beat Robotnik again with the aid of Miles "Tails" Prower and Knuckles the Echidna.
