Toby Carter
Toby Carter is a Iron Master Elodoth member of the Lodge of Lightning.
Overview
People sometimes wonder if there's two Toby Carters. One is a slightly accident-prone, but extremely affable, young werewolf who takes equal pleasure in fierce combat and long, boozy evenings with his packmates. The other is a driven, unemotional investigative machine, utterly dedicated to the pursuit of truth, in as much as it serves justice. Carter has a rapidly sorted, and sorted quickly. Since his induction into the Lodge of Lightning 18 months ago, his ability to cut to the quick of an issue, extract the necessary information from all concerned and create a judgment that people feel is fair, has made him the go-to guy. If you want all of the above done with diplomacy, forget it.
Young Toby was the son of a small-town cop from a long line of small-town cops. Unlike his long line of law enforcement ancestry, Carter grew up with an increasingly intolerant view of the petty corruption and unjust justice that makes up much of the local judiciary system. His quick anger over such topics, in marked contrast to his normally easygoing demeanor, was the first legacy left him by his Uratha mother. His First Change made the rest of it clear. He took to his role as an Elodoth quickly, and joined the Lodge of Lightning because he admired lodge members' abilities to switch mental tracks whenever needed and to get the job done. When it comes to justice, Carter really believes in getting the job done.
Carter is a habitual devotee of unchallenging fashion brands. He'll always be found in the vaguely stylish cuts of vaguely trendy colors. He's very much a shirt-and-slacks kinda guy, and usually wears brown boots and, occasionally, a light sweater. His inoffensively attractive face is framed by sandy brown hair and unfashionably long sideburns, and emphasized by bushy eyebrows. When he's working a case, Carter quickly descends into disarray. His clothes tend to look like they're been worn for a week, mainly because they have, and his personal hygiene slips.
