==History==
Appearance: Tobiath is of dark skin and has short 
hair, neatly kept. He sports a small beard on his chin 
with no other facial hair. He has a scar on the left 
side of his face that comes from the top of his 
forehead and goes all the way down to his chin, 
crossing his left eye, and his nose is crooked from 
too many breaks. He is of a normal build and is not 
too tall. He is not one who would be picked out from a 
crowd accept for his scar, and is not really looked 
upon by people of the opposite sex. To be blunt he is 
not very good looking. If he is ever seen without a 
shirt on, his body is covered with scars and his ribs 
have the look that they have been broken many a time. 
Brief History: Tobiath was young when he received his 
first beating from his father Calderin. He was four 
years old at the time and he had knocked his dinner 
off of the table, sending it smashing on the floor. 
Tobiath had seen his mother beaten many a time but 
this was the first time it had happened to him, and it 
was not the last time. As Tobiath was growing up he 
learned to hate the man that was his father, not just 
for the beatings that he was given but for what his 
mother had to endure as well, as she was a kind woman 
who tried to protect Tobiath, generally leading to 
them both being beaten. One time when Tobiath was 6, 
he witnessed his mother get thrown down a flight of 
stone steps in their house, because of this very 
reason, and Calderin just spat at her and left her 
there broken and unconscious. 
Calderin treated everyone around him with as much 
contempt as he did his family, he repeatedly abused 
the servant girls and beat up anyone who did not do 
their jobs properly. Calderin was as vicious in the 
?Game of Houses? as he was in his own house, and his 
position as a lord in Tear meant he was able to carry 
out this ?Game? very successfully, as he had many 
people murdered and others he just ruined. 
Tobiath?s father taught him how to use the sword, he 
was a good teacher, but when Tobiath did not learn 
quick enough Calderin would make sure he would learn 
it the next time. There were some lessons where 
Tobiath came out covered in bruises and sores, made by 
his father?s wooden sword. When Calderin deemed that 
Tobiath had learnt enough of the sword to protect 
himself properly they moved onto handling real swords. 
Calderin handed this thirteen year old boy a heavy 
non-descript sword that was difficult to wield and 
drawing out his rapier, Calderin attacked. At the end 
of this first lesson Tobiath was cut all over with one 
long cut on the left side of his face that started at 
the top of his forehead and headed down to his chin 
crossing his left eye as it came down. This turned 
into a permanent fixture on his face, constantly 
reminding him of the hate he felt for Calderin, his 
?father?. 
As the lessons went on and Tobiath grew older, his 
hate had swelled up even more for his father and he 
was getting better at wielding this big sword. When he 
was sixteen Tobiath managed to hold off his father in 
one of these vicious sparring lessons and got through 
Calderin?s defence cutting a deep gash into his 
fathers side, which knocked him onto the floor. 
Tobiath then swung his heavy sword back, letting his 
hatred and rage spill out into his mind, taking 
control of his body, his sweeping swing, aimed for his 
fathers head, was only just deflected by Calderin?s 
rapier, which then snaked forward and pierced Tobaith 
in the leg. giving Calderin the chance to stagger to 
his feet and smash a fist into Tobiath?s face, 
knocking him out cold. 
After that lesson, Calderin took teaching Tobiath more 
seriously. Calderin also made him do some of the more 
dangerous jobs for him in the ?game of houses?. 
Tobiath was made to kill his father?s opponents when 
it needed an outside influence. This though did not 
stop the beatings he received, but it stopped them 
when Tobiath was holding his sword. Tobiath resented 
the fact that he had to kill people, but only because 
it was for his father, he actually started to get a 
thrill from what he was made to do when he forced 
himself to forget it was his father making him do 
these things. 
One day when Tobiath was seventeen he walked in on an 
argument his father was having with his mother. The 
argument was turning violent, but as soon as Calderin 
saw his son he ran and tackled him knocking him in to 
the door frame, sending stars flying across his 
vision. Calderin got back up and headed over to his 
wife and started to beat her, beat her harder than he 
had ever done before, she crumpled to the floor with 
one almighty punch as it landed on the side of her 
head. Tobiath could do nothing, he could only stare at 
his mothers lifeless eyes that looked at him. Calderin 
turned to Tobiath and started an onslaught of kicks 
that scored every time, screaming through tears, ?It?s 
all your fault! You did this!? 
The next day Tobiath was sent away from an order given 
to him by his father via a servant of the house. 
Tobiath was to go to Tar Valon as punishment; he was 
to live with the witches of the white tower and train 
with their lap dogs, and become one of their number, a 
lap dog to a witch. Tobiath told the servant to fetch 
his stuff and then send a message back to his father, 
that he ?will return to avenge his mother?. Tobiath 
was given his clothes and his heavy sword and as he 
turned he spat on the threshold of the house, his 
hatred filled him making him shake and vowed to 
himself to kill his father.
