Second Order
Blue, Tobias (hm) ?-?, Sorret/First Village
psychotherapist. Co-founder of the Land's first asylum. Works for Demos Royal. Son of Mae and Shaw. Brother of Azura Blue, who is chief Sorreter of LandOrder's Plist branch. They grew up in Sorret, where she became a Sorreter and he opted to study science rather than magic. He's always had a fascination with the human mind, and though he claims to want to treat psychological maladies, those who truly know him realize he prefers playing with minds rather than fixing them. He always played mind games on his younger sister, who believes he tried to drive her insane just for the fun of it. He chose the Order name "Blue" just to annoy her, though she accepted the name herself as a sign of his failure to get to her. There are in fact some people who know Azura who claim she probably messed with her brother's mind as much as he did with hers.
