Character Information
Known History
Basic Timeline:
- 19th April, 1982 - Born in Neston, Cheshire.
- Summer 1998 - Taken by a True Fae who threatened to take his sister if he did not go. Had no idea his sister had already been taken a year ago, and the Fae was in fact threatening a Fetch.
- Autumn 2005 Toby leaves the Hedge for the first time since his abduction. Discovers his fetch, and realises that his sister had also been taken. Retreats back into the hedge.
- April 2008 Toby resurfaces in Edinburgh. Taken off the streets by Graceful Aline. Taught the basics of Lost society, grew to love her as a mentor and close friend.
- May 2008 Toby leaves Edinburgh, starting his journey for knowledge and power to the end of rescuing his sister from her Keeper (not knowing she is already out), and the end of taking revenge on the True Fae.
- June 2008 Toby visits York, meeting in particular a beautiful Spring Lost named Eleanor, a man who mightily impressed him by the name of Bane, and Deyanira - who led him to Birmingham, and a re-union with his sister, Aria.
Current Activities: Staying as a houseguest with his sister's motley, wondering about whether or not he has a place in the world anymore and confused about what to do, now that his only remaining goals are revenge on his and his sister's Keepers - Toby practises with his vast knowledge of Contracts and seeks more, that he may one day be strong enough to achieve his goals. This currently involves working out how to get closer to Orpheus Bane to study his methods and learn from him, and spending time with the pirate Cooper on board his ship and with his crew of Hobs.

Quotes
- "All that matters are the results. And I will achieve my ends..." - Toby
- "That little tug at the corners of your lips, that faint smile, that gleam in your eyes and faraway look when you talk about mending people... It makes our freedom meaningful, you know?" - Toby
- "You know the problem, Tobe? The problem is that everything I know on you won't really upset you to tell everyone here, because they don't know you as well as I do, so there's no embarassment." - Aria, following Toby's attempts to tell "amusing" stories from the past about her first crush.
- "It's like a dream come true. My baby brother finds me, and he's already best friends with Bane, and making friends with Rea. What? No, I'm serious! I couldn't possibly have anything against the Autumn Court!" - Aria
- "Of course I didn't know he was Aria's brother, how was I meant to know what her real name was? He seems a good sort though and I am happy to count him as a friend. I am glad he has found his sister, it's good when you can reconnect to something you thought you had lost." - Graceful Aline
Rumors
- No-one is quite sure why Toby couldn't tell that his sister had been taken, although it is muttered that her Fetch had him completely under her thumb, and may have even seduced him...
- There is a story that some poor Lost once ridiculed Toby for volunteering to be taken, that no-one was worth that kind of sacrifice. After the rest of the local freehold had pulled Toby and his gouging talons off of the poor Lost, that Lost later returned to his Hollow to find it had been looted and ransacked by Goblins, leaving nothing behind but a single golden feather...
- Some say that Toby has learned a secret Goblin Contract which will never let him die until he has wrought his revenge upon both his Keeper, and his sister's. And that he has already paid the price for it...
- It is said that he wanders the country without tie, without bind, without pledge or motley or freehold, and has done so secretly for years - stealing mystical knowledge and secrets to fuel his coming war with the True Fae...
