Personal Information
Appearance
Personality
Tobias is a bit of a contradiction.
There are many that would describe Tobias as an odious, petty little man, critical of everyone and everything that passes under his beady little eyes. His manner swings from caustic and abrasive to crotchety and cantankerous. If he were an animal (as some of his unkinder critics insist he is), he would be a cockroach. Mol by name, mole by nature; Tobias has, most often, been described as unfavourable vermin. The weight and scope of his glowering disapproval has become legendary in Sydney and elsewhere.
If Tobias were a drink, his personality would be described as curdled milky tea; clotted, lumpy, sharp, and stringent. If he were food, it would be casu marzu; sharp, rotten, and an acquired taste.

Timeline
- 1900 - Embraced in Sydney (Holdsworthy)
Recent History
- 1870 - Born in Lubeck(Prussia). Family owned plantations in Papua near Rabaul (German New Guinea)
- 1890 - Arrived in Australia as a free settler, part of the gold rush and land grab
- 1895 - Arrested and interned as an enemy alien at Trial Bay (near Wollongong), later moved to Holdsworthy internment camp(near Liverpool) after repeated escape attempts.
- 1900 - Embraced in Sydney after one successful escape attempt from Holdsworthy. Brought into the Carthians by his sire, Tiberius Harkonus Augustus Marcellarius.
- 1919 - Becomes Fourth Governor of Sydney after the third Governor, his sire, steps down and flees Sydney under a cloud of controversy. Tobias arose more through the machinations of his sire, though there were rumours at the time of skullduggery, blackmail, and undisclosed 'French letter' photographs of potential rivals.
- 1919-1958 - Tobias instituted an open door, 'hands off' approach in court in the name of tolerance and acceptance. Where he did appear at court, he appeared disinterested in its workings. What few laws existed (Amaranth and 'My word is law') were ruthlessly enforced when brought into question.
- 1935 - Embraces Murdoch Tyron and casts him out from Sydney later that same year.
- 1958-1975: After he was deposed by Gallagher and the Brood, where most left the city (or were killed), Tobias stayed behind. There were rumours that the Brood offered him a deal. There were rumours that he collaborated. There were even nasty nicknames for Tobias (like "Moley Moley Moley Mole"), though the unknown Kindred that started those taunts hasn't been seen in years. Tobias provided intelligence to the Carthian Movement which became instrumental in Ferdinand Wolfe's reclamation of the city.
- 1976 - Tobias asked for (and was given) a major boon by the then Governor Wolfe for his intelligence work during the Brood occupation.
- 1984 - Embraced his childe, Jack Wolfe in Sydney
- 1995 - Tobias' childe Jack Wolfe ascends to become Seventh Governor of Sydney on the abdication of Ferdinand Wolfe. There were rumours of political interference that were never proven.
