Brief Biography: Being born into a lower class Irish family in the worst slumhouse in Low Town was bound to radicalize the young Thomas Murphy. Drawing on the writings of Scottish Socialist John MacLean, Murphy was essentially thrown into Socialism out of neccessity due to his families socio-economic background of poverty. When his family fled the decaying Lowtown slum for the immigrant friendly Shaddyside he and his brother became construction workers with the help before eventually joining the BLU. His good social skills made him friends in the workplace and eventually he became a important apparatchik in the BLU structure, which has brought him into conflict with several of the more traditionally conservative members of the BLU and the Irish community; although notably he is among the most popular among the "new guard" in the union and has lead many of the younger members into the welcoming arms of the MSP. He's also well liked in the local constabulary of the district and seems friendly with the local inspector. He was elected councillor for Shaddyside in 1948 with broad support among the population and has been reelected in each election since.
