**Tobe Nwigwe** is a former witch-doctor turned renowned and feared occultist and detective at the tail end of the 20th century. She was an emissary of Heaven and the Loa, fighting back against the forces of Hell but she would swear an oath of neutrality after discovering that **The Many-Angled Ones** exist. After swearing her oath - only breaking it if The Many-Angled Ones amass too much power -, Tobe opened the Flatbush Nightclub, a mystical club in New Orleans to serve as a neutral meeting ground between Heaven and Hell. Since, she has become a close friend and confidant to **Ethan Graves**, assuming an almost mentor/older sister role to try and cull his neurotic tendencies.

## **Attributes**

As a widely feared and renowned occultist, Tobe has a litany of magical abilities and boasts incredible prowess while using them. Much of her power has yet to be shown as she took an oath of neutrality but so far, she has utilized pyrokinesis, shadow magic, Louisiana & Haitian Voodoo, and more. She was sufficient enough to dispatch and kill Hurr Sherman's Nazis Zombies, distract and blind a Many-Angled One, and throw Ethan across a field with telekinesis.

Having been born from a human and a Loa deity, Tobe is also incredibly capable of mediumship and possess advanced abilities when it comes to immortality. Tobe is eternal, meaning she cannot and will not die by any means. She has survived Heavenly assaults, smittings, historically vile rituals, and unwillingly contracted mystical diseases. There is nothing above or below that can kill him, and she has been stated to be among the "Neo-Loa", becoming the Deity of Neutrality.

### **Weaknesses**

The only weakness Tobe has are The Many-Angled Ones. As they predate The Loa and God, they can kill Tobe with ease and without needing anything special.

## **Paraphernalia**

### **Equipment**

Her knowledge of the occult is limited, but expansive in terms of occult objects, exceeding **Edward Nalence** and rivaling Ethan. She has hundreds, if not thousands of occult objects within the Flatbush Nightclub storage levels. Her collection rivals that of The A.R.C. as Tobe possesses things that **Damon Wolfe** has never even heard of. This was shown when Tobe revealed that she had Dracula's preserved physical corpse, something thought to be destroyed by sunlight.

## **Notes/Trivia**

* According to Morpheus, Tobe is one of his favorite creations.
* Tobe sees Ethan as family, even inducting him into The Nwigwe Family through a ritual to her father, Ghede.
* Tobe has been on Earth a lot longer than she leads people to believe. The earliest account of Tobe's existence dates back to 1453.
