Captain Tobias was born during the late-Second Era in the Colovian West, near the battlefield of Sancre Tor. His Nordic father, Borgas, had served as the captain of the House Guard of Far Falkreath Estate, a merchant family with ties to the Holds of Skyrim. Borgas eventually married a Colovian daughter, but she died in the Sack of Old Hrol'dan scarcely two years later. Tobias grew up with stories and romantic notions of his "father's fair Skyrim," a land of savagery and battle far different than the relatively civilized Colovian West. As soon as he could, he traveled to Haafingar to serve as a marine in the Longboat Legions of the Wulfharth Heirs. Ultimately, he deserted the ranks and became a smuggler, working the runs of the Iliac Bay. At Sentinel he met Cyrus, a Redguard who had long dreamed of leaving Hammerfell to sail the seas. When Cyrus killed his sister Iszara's husband, Hakan, Tobias took him in.

At some point in time, the Khajiit crime boss, S'rathra sent his band of brigands to a plantation outside of Tear to free his kinsmen from the Dres slavers. Tobias and Cyrus were among the brigands. Cyrus was able to free some of the slaves and it caused a giant revolt across the plantation. In the end, the Dres slavers were freed and the slaves were liberated.

After the Raid on Tear, Tobias and Cyrus went their separate ways, keeping in touch only through their mutual fixer, S'rathra. In 2E 864, Tobias' sent a letter to Cyrus asking to meet him at the Draggin Tale Inn, in Stros M'kai, explaining that Iszara had relocated there after Baron Volag's Purge in Northern Hammerfell and had gone missing. When they reunited, Tobias gave Cyrus all the information he knew of Iszara to help him find her.

Claims of unknown origin suggest that Tobias inspired Cyrus with his stories to take command of the legendary ship Dead Man's Dread and set sail north to the Sea of Ghosts.
