Toby "Tob" Rufus is a 23 year old college student and is the son of Fenris, the God of Wolves. Tob was sired under the name "Lupus" by his father, after Fenris foresaw his own fate at the hands of the nephilim Therakiel the Bright. Toby's mother was a mortal, making him a demigod. Fenris tells his mother to take him in and gives him the surname "Rufus" to mask his identity, but leave a hint of his identity, until the time is right for him to fulfill his destiny.

When Toby was little, a minion of Therakiel attacked his home. In an act of self defence, Toby's powers to control the wolves manifested, and drove the minion away. However, Toby lost control of the wolves, and the feral pack killed his mother. Toby would spend his days on the run until he was picked up by a priest, who raised him in an orphanage. The traumatic experience scarred Toby so badly that he unknowingly fabricated another childhood, a reality where he never met his mother and was sent to an orphanage directly, and subconsciously shut off his demigod powers.

During his battle to prevent the Apocalypse, Therakiel tells the young demigod that during his second battle with his father, Fenris, the god warned him that he had sired a son that will one day be the cause for his downfall, hinting that Tob was destined to defeat Therakiel in a titanic battle. This came to fruition when the two faced off, with the help of Lazarus, Reya, Caliburn, Psylen, and Treya.

Tob joins Team Darkstar under the codename "Tob". After the events of his battle against Therakiel, Tob accepts his demigod heritage as well as his past, and changes his codename to "Lupine".


Appearance

Tob is described to initially be scrawny, but also fat, which he refers to as "chub". Tob has an endomorphic physique and it became apparent from years of not exercising. After training with Jason, Tob's chub begins to disappear, giving him a lean physique. Tob's black hair is styled like a fade, but with his long hair swept to the side. His eyes are described to be "plain looking" by Sam, his roommate. After gaining proficiency with his new wolf transformation, Tob's eyes change, resembling the eyes of a wolf. Tob also gains facial hair through sideburns.

Tob is usually seen wearing assorted hoodies over track pants. Tob has a fascination with different hoodies with different styles, and as a result, his outfit changes frequently. When on mission, Tob also wears a utility belt, which attached is a handgun given to him by Jason. After training with Caliburn, Tob also acquires a pair of sneakers, which he enchants to give him flight.

When Tob uses rune magic, taught to him by Caliburn, orange glowing runes appear on his gun and his sneakers, and he gains a flaming orange aura, which also emits various runes.

In his "Lupine Form", Tob transforms into a huge wolf, with white fur. His size varies with the percentage of his power being used. At 10%, Tob's becomes as big as a truck. At 100%, Tob becomes bigger than Therakiel, towering over the Nephilim. His eyes and paws glow a flaming white, which leaves a trail of white fire. Despite this, Tob's wolf form is very similar to many common canines. Bridget calls Tob a "big puppy" and asks Sam if she could pet him.

Personality

Tob is described to be a funny and humorous individual, often making light of things. These jokes are amplified when Sam is around, and the two enjoy pulling pranks on the other members of Darkstar. Tob is also known to act on his own emotions, unfortunately, these emotions are usually feelings of attraction to various girls he meets. This results in Tob recklessly jumping into the fray to protect or act off of these feelings, which often cause annoyance to his party members.

After transforming into his wolf form and realizing he had hurt Reya, Tob's personality temporarily changes, and Tob gains a self hatred complex, believing himself to be a monster and refusing to talk to Reya. During his fight against Therakiel, Tob regains his memories of his traumatic past, and Tob matures from the experience.

Despite this, Tob still makes jokes and has the occasional laugh with his squadmates, albeit at a reduced frequency. Tob still serves as a symbol of humour in the team, when the going gets rough.

Powers, Skills, and Abilities

Powers

Demigod Heritage: Tob, as the son of Fenris, possesses the traits of a demigod and some of the powers of his father. This includes the ability to control wolves (though he has yet to master this ability), and a wolf transformation. Tob also gains his father's keen senses, including a sharper eye, reflexes, and smell. This provides him with a powerful foundation upon learning firearms, and because of this, he was initially believed to be a prodigy.

Rune Magic: Tob does not possess mana, so Caliburn teaches Tob to use rune magic, that involves enchanting certain items. Tob uses Rune Magic to enchant his handgun and his sneakers, gaining him flight. When Tob enchants his handgun, his usual dark energy blasts become laced with rune magic, further amplifying its damage.

Skills

Expert Marksman: Tob, being a demigod, inherits his father's superhuman senses. This allows him to react to things much faster than an ordinary human. Combined with countless missions with a handgun, Tob becomes extremely proficient with firearms.

Expert Knifefighter: Tob is also extremely skilled with knife fighting. Upon realizing his origins, Tob rationalizes that this may be partly due to the familiarity of using a knife compared to swiping with his claws.

Master Dinnertime Sensor: Tob uses his demigod sense of smell to detect when Ferris is cooking dinner for the team. As a result, he is usually the first to appear at the table.

Abilities

Rune Enchantment: A skill learned from his tutelage with Robert Caliburn, Tob enchants his gear to give them an array of abilities. Upon enchanting his handgun, Tob significantly improves its damage. Upon enchanting his sneakers, Tob is able to fly around the battlefield with astonishing speed comparable to Blackflame's Darkfire Form 1 transformation.

Lupine Transformation: Tob transforms into his massive wolf form. This form is incredibly powerful, and at 100% power his teeth and claws were able to rip apart Therakiel's armor, which was thought to be celestial in nature and nigh indestructible. Tob's speed is also incomprehensibly fast, as he was able to pin down Valerian Scarlet at 30% power before anyone was able to react.

Tob's Lupine Transformation's drawback is that it consumes a lot of stamina, thus Tob usually uses the form at a percentage of his power. The size of his wolf form depends on the percentage of power used. At 10%, Tob's speed was too fast for a Form 1 Blackflame to react. At 30%, the form completely overwhelmed Valerian Scarlet in her ascended form. At 100%, the form overwhelmed the nephilim Therakiel, until he began to power up himself.

Another drawback of the form is if Tob uses more than 30% of his power, he will lose control and become extremely feral. During his fight against Valerian Scarlet, Tob defeated the young mage, but loses control and attempts to eat her. Tob is only able to come back to his senses when Reya intervenes, sparking a memory that causes him to force himself to control his rage.
