 Sir Tobias is the unrecognized bastard son of Sir Wernherus of [[atlas:​Grohn]] and Nell, the baker'​s daughter. When his mother died, Sir Wernherus gave him a horse, sword, shield, and a small bit of coin - then told to get out of the village. Tobias gathered his remaining belongings and followed the trade roads west. He spent some time as a mercenary before he finally made enough money to return east. Several years on the edge of King [[Reiner IV]]'s court eventually gained him a frontier barony along the [[atlas:​Bornheim]] trade road. He currently serves as the [[wp>​Baron]] of [[atlas:​Ulrichstein]]. Sir Tobias is the unrecognized bastard son of Sir Wernherus of [[atlas:​Grohn]] and Nell, the baker'​s daughter.

 For five years Tobias used his skills with sword and lance to win accolades at the various tournaments while Konrad and Lothar moved among the the nobility in search of likely supporters. During the Summer of 434 he led a dozen guardsmen to the defense of a nearby village against an orcish attack. They not only drove off the orcs, but Tobias himself slew the chieftain. When he returned to Aufhausen Duke Wracwulf knighted him and accepted his oath of fealty to the realm. For five years Tobias used his skills with sword and lance to win accolades at the various tournaments while Konrad and Lothar moved among the the nobility in search of likely supporters.

-His new knighthood catapulted him into the upper ranks and gave him access to new avenues of power. He used the money he had saved and what he had earned to gain enough support to "​purchase"​ a western barony. It cost him nearly everything he had saved, but in 436 Duke Wracwulf created the barony of [[Ulrichstein]] and named him its baron.+His new knighthood catapulted him into the upper ranks and gave him access to new avenues of power.

-Sir Tobias arrived in the burned out remains of Ulrichstein in the Summer of 437 after he raised enough money to buy some mercenaries,​ craftsmen, and a wagon train of supplies. By 454 Ulrichstein was a thriving town and the Baron'​s patrols along the [[Bornheim]] trade route cut down on the number of lost caravans.+Sir Tobias arrived in the burned out remains of Ulrichstein in the Summer of 437 after he raised enough money to buy some mercenaries,​ craftsmen, and a wagon train of supplies.

 As a frontier baron he exercises a great deal of control not only over his own lands, but the royal lands that surround him. Duke Wracwulf has named him bailiff over the surrounding lands and the the villages they contain. For his part Sir Tobias can be a difficult, but fair man. He does not tolerate failure or incompetence lightly, but he believes that praise should be given when it has been earned. As a frontier baron he exercises a great deal of control not only over his own lands, but the royal lands that surround him.
