Appearance

Tobin is a lean human man with weathered olive skin, a narrow face, and unruly chestnut hair streaked with early gray. His bright hazel eyes are magnified slightly by brass-rimmed spectacles. He wears a patched blue-gray traveling coat over simple brown clothes, sturdy boots, and a spellbook case secured with red cord. His hands are stained with ink, soot, and farm soil, and a small wooden wheat charm hangs from his neck.

Mannerisms

Tobin adjusts his spectacles whenever he is thinking, taps rhythms against his spellbook while memorizing magic, and explains dangerous situations using farming metaphors. When nervous, he quietly counts objects in the room.

Personality

Tobin is patient, earnest, and intensely curious. He treats farmers, laborers, merchants, and scholars with the same careful respect. He prefers solving problems through preparation and cooperation, but his quiet voice becomes remarkably firm when someone threatens helpless people.

Ideals

Protection. Knowledge has value only when it is used to keep people safe, especially those who have no power of their own.

Bonds

Phandalin and the surrounding farms are my home. I will defend its people, and I will recover the missing pages of the old wizard's ledger that began my magical education.

Flaws

Tobin overestimates what careful planning can accomplish and becomes stubborn when forced to improvise. He is also painfully uncomfortable admitting that he does not understand a magical phenomenon, and may take foolish risks to prove that he does.

Quirks

Names his prepared spells after people who helped him learn them.
Keeps a pinch of Phandalin soil in a tiny glass vial for good luck.
Refuses to waste food, even during wilderness travel.
Whistles softly whenever he is working through a difficult equation.

Background

Tobin was born to tenant farmers outside Phandalin, where his first lessons came from counting seed sacks, reading weather signs, and listening to old miners tell stories beside the fire. As a boy, he discovered that the strange marks in a discarded wizard's ledger responded when he traced them with a charcoal-stained finger. The traveling scholar who owned the ledger recognized the spark of talent in him and taught Tobin the rudiments of reading arcane script. Tobin never became physically strong or quick, but he possessed an uncommon patience and a mind that could hold patterns long after others forgot them. When a band of extortionists threatened the farms around Phandalin, Tobin used improvised magic, clever traps, and a network of neighbors to expose their hidden storehouse and drive them away. The people called him a hero, though Tobin insists that the real victory belonged to everyone who stood together. He now travels as a wizard in order to protect ordinary folk from dangers they cannot name, while searching for the missing pages of the ledger that first awakened his magic. He keeps one promise above all others, that no village will be abandoned simply because its defenders lack swords, wealth, or noble blood.
