Tobias Zehru

*"I am the only living being in this world. I am alone."*

Tobias was considered the unofficial leader of Insurgence and was more of the face of the party. He was one of the original founders of the Slayers guild Defiance. He was known to be his deity's punisher.

## **Description**

Tobias was said to be the most professional out of the group and would always dress the part. Oddly enough the monument back at the Defiance guild does not include him as for the reason it is unknown. However he has his own monument held by the Regressors where this is the most accepted depiction of him. According to the Regressors, Tobias appears to be in his late 20's with his hair is black and slightly wavy, cut short and had black eyes that would glow a golden color when he activated The Punisher. He stood around 6'3" tall, and was extremely fit. He wore a black coat and combat boots. Under the jacket he wears a black shirt with a silver collar.

## **Personality**

Tobias' Personality varies drastically between his various regressions he has experienced. However, a constant through all of the regressions he experienced is that his resolution to see the end result of his actions, no matter the cost, and his determination to push through and regress again. He is very adaptable and extremely talented. He was normally extremely confident in his abilities, never backing down from a challenge and typically cutting down his enemies.

He was very calculating and aloof person as a result of the regressions he has endured, killing those he deems to be threats and growing those he believes can aid him and the world of Dephiron. In some legends it tells where his mind was twisted due to some of the regressions when he lost his companions, he only laments how his comrades have lost used their used to him and Dephiron. Tobias was quite smart and able to grasp things quickly and figure out plans to become stronger and surpass those in Insurgence and to overcome situations within Dephiron.

Tobias would not talk or express himself very much as what was presumed as a result of the regressions. When Tobias talked, he only spoke in short sentences and was blunt in his speech. On rare occasions, he has proven himself to be a very eloquent and persuasive speaker. Tobias can also come across as rude and would threaten those people that irritates him. He cares so much for his companions that he is willing to sacrifice himself for his companions.

In the few of his regressions, Tobias develops a tendency to become depressed due to his regressions where he becomes unresponsive and constantly considers giving up and regressing to try again in his next regression.

## **Abilities**

Tobias was said to have a similar skill to Euphie with her sage eye however his was discerning whether someone is evil in nature or lying to him or his comrades rather than seeing into the future like Euphie did. Tobias possessed ancient but great sword skills that were passed down his sacred bloodline which gave him his title the guardian angel of Dephiron. Due to him being a regressor he was unable to die and would come back to life in a random location within the world. Tobias possessed a Slayers art that allowed him to gradually regain all his skills that were lost when he dies and tends to grow at a faster rate than all the other regressors. It is presumed that his Slayers art had did more however it is a heavy guarded secret by the School of the Timeless' current headmaster.

## **History**

Before joining the group Insurgence Tobias was a freelance knight who wandered the land in hopes of lending aid to the various people of Dephiron defending them from the encroaching monsters in the world. He also has helped establish order within the world before the Defiance Guild was made and before he joined Insurgence. Tobias' history is very spotty as next to nothing is known about him almost as if he appears and disappears as he pleases from the world of Dephiron. Tobias had many achievements that made him stand out eventually getting the title known as the Guardian Angel of Dephiron before joining Insurgence.

Tobias was recruited by the Insurgence by Euphie making him the only member that was not recruited by Zajha. Tobias was seen as the key to killing the Forsaken gods and abyss lords and fixing the world of Dephiron, as well as unifying the people of Dephiron to fight for a better world cleansing it of the horrors that plague it. Tobias was one of the people that heavily agreed with Euphie to make a Slayers guild and was the first person to make a school within the guild known as School of the Timeless. He taught various skills passing his knowledge down through the generations of Slayers to aid them. Oddly enough Tobias was not included in the monument of the Insurgence members for unknown reasons and almost all evidence of his existence has been erased. The only thing that remains is the knowledge and teachings that Tobias left behind to his most trusted allies. His name is very rarely mentioned unless necessary and the legends of his tales are never told.
