"You won't be sorry with that one, I'll tell you. You can trust Richard Winston Tobias to make you the best deal anywhere!" - Tobias.
Tobias is, or was, Edison Trents mentor, and runs the equipment shop on Leeds.
Single Player Plot[]
The player first actually meets Tobias in Mission 4, but log entries about Tobias can be found as far back as Mission 1. Tobias gives Trent a place to lay low after the escape from Liberty, and links up with the player later in the plot as well.
Background[]
Tobias was apparently a retired high-ranking official in the Bretonia Armed Forces.
