However, despite his flirtatious ways, he is submissive, obeying Tobias' every order. He loves anything that has to do with mystery and solving puzzles. He constantly teases Tobias and loves it when he gets sent into a spin. In the afterlife, he is shown to be more vulnerable than he was when he was still alive and much more caring for Tobias than he was before.

Tobias is much more serious than Cecil. While he still loves Cecil, he will get crossed when Cecil does idiotic things. Like Cecil, he loves solving mysteries. He doesn’t like riddles however as he gets stressed from them. He is more dominant than Cecil, degrading him and making himself appear the one in charge. He gets flustered when Cecil kisses him or touches him. In the afterlife, he shown to be protective of Cecil and will do anything for him.

## Background

Cecil and Tobias met each other in the winter of 1895. Tobias' sister had recently passed away from a stagecoach accident. Feeling devastated and lonely, he locked himself in his room for a while. His maids and servants noticed this and gave him someone to comfort him during his mourning. That person would be Cecil. He was a vampire. Tobias, desperately trying to get rid of him as most of his family were killed by vampires, degrades him, making Cecil believing that he likes him. He continues flirting with him, all while getting yelled at more. Together, they solve a mystery. Tobias confesses to Cecil that he had developed feelings for him and asked if he could be his lover. Cecil accepted and swore to protect him. Due to homosexuality being illegal in London at the time, they had to keep their relationship a secret. Cecil had marked Tobias, but it attracted other vampires and they killed him for his flesh. Cecil, feeling guilty for his lover's death, hanged himself so he could never live a life without Tobias. His corpse was found, but since he was a vampire, they buried his corpse in the forest. For decades to come, the noose was still in Tobias' old room, as a reminder of the death of the vampire.
