Appearance:
-- Like all Glaucus, he has a very tough and stern look to him with his reptilian, almost metallic exoskeleton. It is difficult to get a read on the man as his facial features are glued to a static feature of contempt. It looks as though the man wears war paint, but the white lines on his face are part of the tough skin that is his species. He does his best to dress the part of a sophisticated individual, though he carries himself as a pompous individual. His posture is centered and uprights as he nearly always walks with his hands behind his back. If one looked close enough they would see a scar on the back on his left hand and down the right side of his neck that looked like it came from a vibro-blade though he does his best to hide such details with a high ring collar that encompasses his neck and part of the back of his spin. He also wears specialized gloved on both hands that make it difficult for anyone to get a good look at the scars. Besides his weird skin features and his oddly militaristic suits, he looks like any other Glaucus.
Biography:
-- Born on the world of Rothana to his father, Drax Dracks, and his mother, Trisha Dracks, they lived the exiles life of a Glaucus. His father was force to leave their clan in his pursuit of marring the love of his life, Trisha, the daughter of a rival clan. With no clan to support him, his father pursued a career as a Mechanical Technician with the Rothana Heavy Engineering. This force he and his new wife to move to the freezing cold planet that did not effect them to much. Due to his adaptability to hostile environments, Drax became known as a skilled mechanic on Hazardous Vehicles. These vehicles were tested in some of the worst simulated environments and as someone who could survive in such, the Glaucus Engineer was able to make them very durable. It was not long after his praise by the company that the couple was able to finally suceed in having a child. It was a difficult pregnancy for Tobias's mother due to their species having difficulty to breed. It did not help that his mother was a frail women compared to their species standard. After Tobias's egg was laid, his mother would only live long enough to see him hatch and be born into the world. Her last words were to name the boy, Tobias.
-- After his mothers passing at his young newborn age, his father found it difficult to raise the boy. He did his best to balance his new position within the company and raise a growing boy without a mothers touch. As such the inner warrior of Drax disciplined his son and showed no emotion other then that of a strict father. However, Drax continued to find it difficult to find time to teach the boy, and with his new found wealth, he sent Tobias to the Military Boarding School of the Anaxes Military Institute. It was there that Tobias truly found his calling as a leader among his classmates. Excelling in all his classes, he showed a aptitude in leadership and communication among his peers. He entered the Debate Team of his class and went on to beat the 3 time winning champions of Coruscant Senatorial Institute. He was soon picked up by the Anaxus Naval Academy where he again excelled in Public Speaking and Political Science. However, he graduated the same year that the One Sith took over the world and he was forced to flee back home to Rothana and his future where he found out his father had died in a CIS raid on the station. The company was paying out of pocket for Tobias Education and as such wished to offer him a job as a lobbyist for the companies interest. He agreed so long as he was able to stay close to his father.
-- It was some years later where he meet with Jaster Awaud. At the time he was just the leader of the UTC and still building a trade empire. He was struck by the Mandalorians leadership that he left his commission with RHE, and joined the UTC as a Lobbyist and Corporate Political Adviser. After some years, he found himself in the Republic and many people within the UTC wished to have the man represent them in the Senate as a interested party of the Trade Company and their Colonies in the Criminal Worlds. He only agreed to be their representative until a government representative would come to stance. He still had a heart for his home-world of Rothana, which was under the control of the Galactic Empire by the time of joining the Republic. At this point he is just an Undersecretary to the Chancellor and Representative of the Mandalorian Nomadic Fleet that is residing within the Republics Territory.
-- He was one of the few political leaders that spearheaded the move to the Core Worlds. Though he thought it was foolish, he knew it was the only way for his passion for the nation would grow into something more then a government in exile. It was during the move and his strong fast dedication to the Republic that earned him a reputation as the leader they needed. He dedicated all he could to the growth of a nation that lost its pride. Once the move was complete, he ran and succeeded in become the Vice Chancellor of the New Republic.
-- Tobia ran the Senate on a tight leash, pushing them hard to create new law and push for better results then the nation they left behind. He served the First Chancellor and the nation proudly and some of their most difficult times. For his dedication to the Republic, when the next races came along he was voted to become the second Chancellor of the New Republic. It was during his tenure that he Republic showed over growth and soon showed signs of bursting at the seems to their greedy expansion. His many successes only cast a larger shadow for the dark deed to fester and give them room to expand their nefarious deeds.
-- What started out as a string of victories of the Republic only showed to grow worse as time slugged along. He became trusting of those he thought could build a nation to be proud of where the first to rebel with the first sign of trouble. Battles that were sponsored by Imperialistic ideals and dark intentions gave world that felt they were being suppressed the opportunity to break away from the Republic. Spread thinly and soldiers getting tired of the constant battling quickly turned on the government and the Republic collapsed under its own weight of over extension and greed of idealist tensions. Once Tobais left office, the signs were on the wall that the Republic would fall within the reign of the Force Users.
-- With the fall of the New Republic, and his duties as chancellor of the nation was already at an end. The leader took what little force that were still loyal to him and attempted to flee to friendly lines. However, he was betrayed by those he that were loyal and paid dearly for his trust. With limited resources at his disposal and no place deemed safe for him or the people who still believed in him he fled to the only place that he could. The one place he never thought to go, and a place where he started. Conglomerate Prime, home of the UTC.
-- From there he built a base, regained followers, and took it upon himself to not just serve the people he believed to be his own. Now the man had been tempted by the darker temptations and lead a life of self indulgence and loyalty to only himself. The once strong politician turned into one of the now many Warlords that fought over the carcass of what was the Galactic Alliance and the First Order.
