Edmund Bertram
Tom Bertram is the oldest son and heir of Sir Thomas, and is Fanny’s cousin. Tom, although exuberant and jovial, is extremely irresponsible, especially when it comes to money. Tom is a big gambler and drinker, and ends up with significant debts, necessitating him to dip into the fortune set aside for Edmund as a result. Tom spends some time with his father in Antigua in order for Sir Thomas to keep an eye on him.
