Profile: William Tobias was a usual visitor and guest of the Sheffield Arms Inn around the time that the UGoI-ESF did it's merger with the Night Parade, and like many in the world, he had his flings. One of these would be the creation of several children, including an even more legendary presence known as Daniel Tobias. Daniel grew up quickly (literally forcing his age) in a world without feeling, cutting himself off and becoming more and more the sociopath that he is today. While not exactly evil (although he certainly aspired to be), Daniel has been a reckless endangerment to countless in the past before, up to and including a project of his in Walker Akero. During this time, he fell in love with one of the Bellmont clan's girls (Sunny Bellmont, later recalling herself Crymson Tobias) and the two had an enormous relationship for years.

Many run-ins and plans were formed with these two ideas in mind, with Daniel and his wife frequenting Walker's world many times to often cause him mayhem and to drive him over the edge--and yet, Daniel also remained both helpful and loyal to Walker when any other people came thundering in to end him, or even ridicule him. These plans were especially outlined when he'd end up kidnapping several of Walker's old friends scattered about (some not as much friends anymore), and put them all for ransom--giving a "join me or die" scenario where Walker and Daniel faced off in epic sword battle. By the end, it was learned by both that they had just way more in common than they ever imagined--Daniel less the evil bastard he let on, and Walker less the holy champion show he had himself.

Both equally jaded with similar views on dealing with their less humble problems, a truce was formed. In 2005, Daniel nearly became all that was left of anybody. Sheffield became an empty place, and the only frequenters other than himself (Freebird, Abby) finally ended their coming around. It was around this time that Daniel expressed interest in joining the UGoI-ESF. Although a more-or-less dead unit at this time, Walker and Daniel's truce was enough to make something of it; Daniel wanted the badge, and Walker wanted at least one other member for the memory. Once more a bargain was struck, and the two went on several missions on behalf of the Akero Investigations career to end the forces of evil. Then none too long later, Daniel began to stop making appearances entirely, thought possibly dead.

In 2008, this all changed, as like many of the other UGoI, Daniel made a sudden and surprising return. This return was surprising more-so because of who he did not reappear with. It was learned in time that not only did Daniel and Crymson have a never-before-conceived divorce, and Daniel is at first utterly miserable by it and shaken to a new depth of despair. Soon after however, he emotionally recovers and is glad to be free. In fact he is so happy, he is even more open to the notion of helping Walker if things happen in the favor of him. Last seen, Daniel believes he can find the long-lost Khali--Walker's daughter--for Walker in return for something Walker, himself, considers precious. This is bickered about until, only weeks later, Khali makes her own return--bringing hardened criminals for them to kill.

Personality: When a new vamp first rises, he is dominated by his monstrous nature. Most vampires quickly remember their old human personalities, but their lack of human soul causes them to become callous and hostile toward humanity. As such, even though they can pose as humans, vampires normally do not do so (except to lure victims for feeding) and prefer to mix only with their own kind, as opposed to living among mortals in a "masquerade" or running their affairs behind the scenes. Daniel is mean-spirited, obnoxious and attention seeking. He loves to push people around just to get a reaction out of them. He and two brothers, namely Ethan and ???? call themselves the "Tobias Family;" this is little more than an excuse for Daniel to do as he will. Daniel is infuriated by Walker's apparent success, and does his best to interfere with the other champion's life.
