The Riven Lands

A well-dressed Tiefling man with filed horns that he's decorated with gold caps matching his famous tooth. His clothing appears expensive but is actually clever imitations designed to suggest wealth without major investment. Wears flashy jewelry taken from successful cons, each piece serving as both trophy and prop for future schemes. His red eyes sparkle with intelligence and humor, and his nimble hands are never quite still - always shuffling cards, spinning coins, or practicing sleight-of-hand techniques.

Charming and deceptive with genuine enjoyment of the psychological aspects of criminal work, Tobias treats each con as a performance where he gets to demonstrate his superior understanding of human nature. He reads people's weaknesses instantly and tailors his approach to exploit their specific vulnerabilities. Views legitimate society as a collection of sheep waiting to be sheared by those clever enough to see through social pretenses. Takes personal offense at crude criminals who rely on violence instead of intellect.

Born in the harbor slums to a family of failed merchants, Tobias learned early that charm and cunning were more valuable than honest work. His natural charisma and quick wit allowed him to work his way up from simple pickpocketing to elaborate confidence schemes targeting wealthy visitors to the port. His reputation for being able to talk his way out of any situation earned him the nickname "Lucky," though his success comes from careful preparation and psychological manipulation rather than mere fortune. He views crime as an entertaining challenge and takes pride in elaborate schemes that showcase his intellectual superiority over marks.
