Appearance: Tobias is a tall man, and though not overtly muscular in appearance, looks to be a man who is used to hard work. He has long dark hair, and a young beardless face.
History: Tobias is the son of a wealthy Southshore merchant. Born to a life of luxury, and schooled to carry on the family tradition of buying and selling turtle related goods, Tobias enjoyed a safe and rich childhood. However, he was always an easily excited child, and spent more of his time than was proper, inventing quests for himself to go on. These quests usually ranged from besting the local bully in honourable combat, or tracking down his mother's lost jewellery.
As he reached adulthood, his childish antics took root in his future wants and dreams. He asked his father for permission to serve as a Knight to Lordaeron, but this request was denied. Being his father's only child, he was told that his enlistment into the army would detroy everything the aging merchant had fought to build. Tobias regretfully accepted his father's wishes, and resumed work as an apprentice merchant.
However, as word reached Lordaeron of the Horde's sudden appearance in the south of the continent, Tobias' childhood dreams took over. Unhappy with the boredom of the merchant's life, he forsook his father's wishes, and spent his personal savings on buying a the title of knight, and a small fief outside of Dalaran.
Kissing his mother goodbye, and giving his farther a curt nod, the young Sir Tobias Helmswall immediately launched himself into the men's world of war. He spent countless hours on the training grounds, trying to catch up in skill with the squires who'd spent their whole lives learning the trade of combat. He surprised his drill masters, but was constantly belittled for his rash decisions and fiery temper. This did not diminish his passion however, and he continued to pour more energy and enthusiasm into being the 'perfect knight'.
He made frequent trips to Dalaran, and made use of its wide libraries. What meagre material existed on the Horde, most of it entrenched in folklore, he absorbed with eager anticipation of a coming war.
When Lord Lothar of Stormwind made landfall in Southshore, with the Kingdom's remaining living souls, it was no surprise then that Sir Tobias immediately volunteered his service to the regional commander in preparing the Shores of Lordaeron for a Horde incursion.
