Tommy Bannon was a mortal working for Michael Honniger, president of Honniger Communications. Honniger suspected his daughter was involved in a conspiracy against him, and was paying Bannon $2,000 a week to find out what was going on and take care of it for him. Bannon did so, working under the cover as an investigative reporter.
Honniger was correct, and Bannon discovered Suzanne Honniger had hired a hitman, Anthony Gallen, to kill her father. Bannon tracked Gallen to a closed amusement park, armed with a silenced 9mm pistol in order to kill him. Gallen, however, ran him down before Bannon could act. Duncan MacLeod who had been nearby tried to resuscitate Tommy to no avail.
At Bannon's funeral, his mother, Betty, was grateful for Duncan MacLeod's presence, and he offered her any assistance she might need. When she uncovered her son's quarter million dollars tucked away in a safe deposit box, she turned to MacLeod for advice. He told her to keep the money and go home to Scotland, "it's what Tommy would have wanted."
Trivia[]
Tommy's role, in total, was actually very brief, one scene at the episode beginning, before the character was killed. The actor delivered no lines, so was therefore uncredited, but he was nevertheless central to the plot.
