Background & Social Status: Tobias was orphaned and originally from the Western Province. He was adopted by King Marcus as a playmate, as they saw potential in the boys. Due to the age difference between Theodore and Zacharius, a boy around Theodore's age would keep the boy happy. As the two grew up together, they entered as knights to defend Ardougne. The duo were a complementary pair on duty and as they rose through the ranks; Theodore eventually became the Master at Arms and Tobias was his second-in-command. During this time, Theodore had met Kathleen and started hanging out with her quite often. Tobias, a stickler for the rules and making sure he didn't humiliate his parents would often scold him. Despite this, he maintains close bonds to both Theodore and Kathleen. 

He is also known to throw the occasional noble out a window who calls him a "third wheel".
