Although Tom's faults (namely, his imprudence and his lack of chastity) prevent him from being a perfect hero, his good heart and generosity make him Fielding's avatar of Virtue, along with Allworthy.

His dignified, though natural air induces characters to assume that he is a gentleman—which ultimately turns out to be true.
