Toby's life started out on rough territory. He was bullied about his tourette syndrome and his sister just passed away in car crash. Not only that but his father didn't even bother to show up to her funeral, he was too busy getting drunk. Toby had recurring nightmares of a tall figure standing in his window and looking in at him. He also kept on seeing his dead sister. Out of frustration between his father and the creature he was seeing, he burnt down the family home and ran away. It's said that sometimes he visits his mother and makes sure that his father stays clear of her.
