Personality:
Tobias is somewhat of a neat freak. He believes all parts of his life must be tidy. Body, mind, space. He keeps his dorm remarkably tidy, his uniform is always perfect, no creases and he showers at least once a day. His reasoning is quite plain. One who is tidy on the outside has nothing to hide. It's all about keeping up appearances. The last thing he would want would be for his family's name to be besmerched.
As his education goes, Tobias gets pretty good grades. His favourite subjects, or at least his best, are Transfiguration and Potions. He often uses his fathers research in lessons but will get frustrated when told it can't be accepted unless it was puplished or approved by the ministry, which a lot of the time it isn't.
Tobias isn't particulary tolerant. Of Muggles/Muggleborn (though he keeps this under wraps), of the ignorant and timewasters. Essentially, if you can't help him in anyway, you're not even worth the effort. He has a large network of friends, or at least people with certain assaible assets. He is also not avert to reaching out to other people beyond Slytherin. He realises that other people have skills and connections and not all of them are in his own house. In Gryffindor, he knows someone who's father is friends with the minister. In Hufflepuff he knows someone who's brother is a top cog at Gringotts. In Ravenclaw he knows someone who's father owns the Falmouth Falcons.
Essentially, Tobias is Charming. He hides all his ills and angsts very well.
History
Parents:
Father: Cyrus King. 45 Years Old. Private Researcher. (Slytherin)
Cyrus spends his time researching various forms of magic (dark magic included) for various clients. He often works with the ministry and has a constant relationship with the minister, getting passes to research various forms of magic, all in the name of protection and progress. The relationship with the ministry allows him to get away with various things, such as creating spells without having them approved by the ministry.
Mother: Castila King (Bexley). 43 Years Old. Wizengamot Member. (Slytherin)
Part of where Cyrus get's his freedom is from his wife Castila. Castila works as a Wizengamot member, chosen by the Minister of Magic thirteen years previous. Prior to this, Castila was the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. She was noted as being the youngest head of deparment in over 100 years. More than her husband, Castila is very much anti-muggle and will vote to reduce their rights and impede them in any way she can.
Siblings:
Flora King F-17 Slytherin
Myron King M-13 Slytherin
Amber King F-11 Ravenclaw
Character History:
Hadrian King. Anthony King. Beatrice King. Gloria King. These are but a few of the names beated into Tobias from a very young age. For they are his ancestors, stretching back as far as the War of the Roses. All of them important and powerful in their own way.
From his earliest years his mother and father would teach him about his lineage. About Nicholas King (1653-1698), who fought against witch and wizard burnings. Eleanor King (1826-1901) who radicly changed laws disallowing movement of Muggleborns.
Of course, Tobias knew no better and was suckered in. Believing that blood was everything and that his family was the most important one in wizarding history. This came as somewhat of a shock to him when he finally arrived at Hogwarts and his History of Magic professor wasn't dropping his family name in all the time. Or how people didn't recognise the surname. Rather than think his parents were wrong, he instead decided that everyone else wasn't as well educated in these matter as he was and decided to teach them.
This isn't to say he didn't get some recognition, amongst his house members he was relativley well known. He had older siblings to help him along the way and once he learnt a few things he could help those who would come and expect what he had.
