A broad-shouldered male dragonborn with deep green scales, a blunt ivory horn along his left brow, and a pale scar crossing his right cheek. His scales are dulled by years of road dust and weather. He wears practical leather armor beneath a patched brown cloak, carries a round wooden shield painted with a faded spiral of leaves, and keeps a bundle of handwritten notes tucked into a waxed leather case. His amber eyes are patient but watchful.

Quiet, observant, and practical, Tobari listens more than he speaks. He is gentle with frightened animals, suspicious of grand promises, and unexpectedly funny when tired. He prefers proven remedies to dramatic gestures, but once he decides someone is under his protection, he becomes stubbornly dependable.

Tobari was raised near a reed-choked river where dragonborn ferrymen, herbalists, and charcoal burners depended on the marsh for nearly everything. His mother taught him which roots soothed fever and which mushrooms killed, while his grandfather taught him to read old trail marks and keep records for the village council. Tobari learned early that knowledge was not merely something stored in books. It was the difference between finding clean water and drinking poison, between crossing a flooded bank and losing a child to the current. When a fire swept through the village archive, Tobari salvaged what he could, including fragments of field journals written by a long-dead druid. He followed those notes into the wider world, studying at a modest temple library and later traveling as a practical researcher rather than a sheltered scholar. His druidic training grew from observation, patience, and a willingness to kneel in mud for an hour to watch a beetle turn a leaf. He now seeks the source of a spreading sickness in the wetlands, convinced that the disease is not natural. Along the way, he records every plant, rumor, and ruin he encounters, hoping to leave behind a body of useful knowledge instead of another burned collection of names.
