Tobias Smith

Tobias Smith was Embraced in Malta in the late 1880s and has been with the Sabbat ever since. A former member of several influential and respected packs, Smith fought bravely in the sect’s civil war. He rose quickly through the ranks and became a templar to Cardinal Desmoines during World War I. His career was long and distinguished, and he went on to advise and protect Cardinal Desmoines in Mexico City. Smith himself might have been named cardinal if he hadn’t been so distracted by the mortal Carolina Valez. He watched her from afar for a month, and fell in love with the Mexican’s intensity. Giving in to his desire, he kidnapped Carolina and forced her through the Creation Rites only to be fraught with guilt. He left the cemetery before she rose, leaving her to be discovered by other Sabbat. From that day forward, Smith looked after Valez and used his influence to pave her road to success. Tobias was not planning to join Valez’s pack, but couldn’t stand the idea that she would be in L.A., far from his watchful eye. The two have been together ever since, but Smith can’t bring himself to confess his feelings (partly because he sees his emotional attachment as a weakness). Though they do not see eye to eye on many subjects, Smith and Valez respect and understand each other. Their combination as moderate and ultraconservative provides the Lost Angels with its greatest strength.
