Tom Baldwin is a fictional character and the main protagonist in the USA Network science fiction television series The 4400.
Thomas "Tom" Baldwin is one of NTAC's lead agents and has developed a relationship with one of the 4400, Alana Mareva. His partner at NTAC is Diana Skouris
Tom is of particular interest to the future citizens who abducted and returned the 4400. His relationship with Alana is the direct result of her ability, which was given to her to ease him through the stresses ahead. At one point, to gain the attention of the future, he attempts suicide. This suicide attempt forces the future citizens to remove him from the timeline before his death. It is here he communicates with a future representative directly and brokers the return of several 4400 children who had been re-abducted and inserted in the timeline at different points.
The price for the children's return is that Tom must destroy a "great evil" that has been sent into the past to thwart the mission of the 4400. Upon his return he received an envelope with a hypodermic needle containing an anti-promicin substance, and a two-word note: "Kill Isabelle." However, once he gets his chance, Tom can't bring himself to kill Isabelle.
In Fifty-Fifty, Tom finally decides that he must go through with his promise, but is foiled by Isabelle, who is instead injected by her father, Richard. The serum doesn't kill her as they expected, but instead seems to have stripped her of her abilities.
Unlike Diana, Tom decides to stay on with NTAC and prepare for the inevitable upheaval from the mass distribution of promicin.
Tom has a son, Kyle Baldwin, and his nephew is Shawn Farrell.
