Tom Berenson is the older brother of Jake Berenson. He was infested by at least two Yeerks throughout the series. Jake became involved in the war because he wanted to save his brother.

Life as a controller

Tom became a controller sometime before The Invasion. Tom's first Yeerk was known as Temrash 114, who later infested Jake in The Capture. Temrash was a high-ranking Yeerk (but below a sub-visser rank) in The Sharing. After Temrash moved on to another host, Tom was infested by a low ranking Yeerk who later rebelled against Visser Three.

Tom resisted being infested, but eventually complied in order to stop his brother, Jake, from being infested for the time being.

During the Animorph's raid on the Yeerk pool in The Invasion, Tom is cut loose from a cage and rides on Jake's (in morph as a Siberian tiger) back. As the Animorphs and several controllers are escaping, Visser Three runs up the staircase and Tom attempts to fight him with his bare fists. Visser Three, apparently not wanting to waste a human host, simply sends him falling down the staircase with a side tail blade blow to the head.

Tom continues to be infested by Temrash until sometime before The Capture, in which a new, lower-ranking Yeerk has infested him.

Tom's new Yeerk was given the morphing cube by Cassie late in the series because she thought that it was the right thing to do and that it would stop Jake from killing Tom. The Yeerks use the morphing technology, however, to fight against the Animorphs. Only a few Yeerks use the morphing technology to become nothlits.

Eventually, Tom's band of Yeerks steals Visser Three's personal blade ship and attempts to destroy the Animorphs who stole a pool ship. The pool ship is disabled because of Erek's programming to never harm another being, so Jake sends Rachel aboard the blade ship to kill Tom.

Although Rachel succeeds in killing Tom, she is also killed by his other Yeerk allies.

Trivia

Jake is infested by the same Yeerk that once infested Tom, and that is what help reveals that Tom is infected. The Yeerk torments Jake telling him how he broke Tom and how he would eventually break Jake. The Yeerk is discovered by Ax and is starved of Kandrona for three days and dies. Later Jake calls Tom and tells him to never stop fighting and he was not alone,and manages to hide his voice by half morphing a wolf.


In the T.V. series Tom's Yeerk receives the call from Jake, hangs up and his hand starts shaking violently. The yeerk closes his hand once to regain control. This shows Tom resisting his yeerk and his fight boosted from Jake's call.
