Toby Rogers

Tobias Erin "Toby" Rogers, formerly known as Ticci Toby , is a former proxy for the Operator until he defected against his former master.

Early Life
Toby was born to an unnamed father and Connie Rogers, and younger brother to Lyra Rogers. He suffered from Tourette's syndrome and an unspecified neurological disorder that rendered him unable to feel pain, and thus was often prone to injuries. While he was close with and loved by his mother and sister, his alcoholic father often abused the family throughout his childhood. Because of this, Toby often ran away from home for days at a time, but would eventually come home to receive his father's beatings in the stead of his mother and sister. He also attended public school but dropped out at some point and became home-schooled.

At some point, he and Lyra befriended neighbor Skye Martin and schoolmate Jack Nichols.

"Death" and Rebirth
In 2013, Lyra and Toby were both involved in a car accident that ultimately cost Lyra's life, while Toby was severely injured in the aftermath. He deeply mourned his sister's death and subsequently became a social recluse immediately after her burial, and even more so when his father returned to their house after leaving for some time.

During this time, Toby's mental state gradually began to deteriorate, leaving him vulnerable to the Operator's influence. After being haunted by horrific visions of both Lyra and the Operator, an enraged Toby eventually snapped and was compelled to murder his father in cold blood, much to the horror of his mother. Realizing too late what he had done, he panicked and went to the garage, where he stole his father's two hatchets and set the house aflame in a desperate attempt to burn evidence of his father's murder. Escaping the wreckage, he encountered the Operator, who subsequently abducted Toby and turned him into one of his proxies.

It was later revealed Connie Rogers survived the fire, and began living with her sister, Toby's aunt.

Serving the Operator
Toby served as one of the Operator's Berserker proxies for an unspecified amount of time. At some point, he encountered serial killer Clockwork, with whom he started a romantic relationship with; and former mutual friend Jack Nichols, who had transformed into Eyeless Jack, with whom he briefly fought until reaching a stalemate.

Some time later, Toby encountered Siren, a fellow proxy and member of the Collective who possessed his old friend Skye Martin. When Siren gained a conscience, she took Toby with her and escaped the Operator's realm, freeing both from the entity's control and thus allowing Toby to regain control over his own mind. Siren then briefly took over Skye's body for the last time to bring both herself and Toby to the nearest hospital before collapsing, leaving a distraught Toby to look over Skye's catatonic body until he reunited with Eyeless Jack and went on the run.

SCP Containment
Eventually, the SCP Foundation tracked down Toby and the catatonic Skye in one of Jack's safe-houses and contained them both, while Jack was also captured after a failed attempt to break the two out of containment. Because Toby was effectively disconnected from the Operator and showed little to no signs of anomalous activity throughout his time in containment, he was classified as 'Neutralized' but received frequent therapy sessions with occasional aggressive or violent outbursts.

On The Run
During a containment breach, Toby was able to reunite with Skye, Jack, and fellow Operator victim Tim Wright and escape the SCP Foundation. Once again on the run from the authorities and the Operator, the humans eventually settled down in New Haven where they assumed the surname Sullivan and attempted to start new lives. During this time, Toby started to attend an online college in order to obtain an academic degree, while also maintaining an on-again, off-again relationship with Clockwork, to his friends' disapproval. He also developed a close relationship with Tim, having bonded over their similar traumatic experiences, and began to view the latter as an older brother figure.

In early 2017, HABIT tracked down and attacked the group for unknown reasons. Toby, who was alone at the house at this time, attempted to defend himself against HABIT, who severely wounded him until the others returned home and came to Toby's aid. HABIT ultimately killed Tim and spared the others, leaving them to mourn deeply for their fallen friend, with Toby taking the impact much harder than the others did.

2017 Serial Killings
After a series of murders taking place in the suburbs linked back to Skye and her former job, local detective Abigail Bishop and FBI Special Agent Joel Gilliam interrogated her and searched the house, bringing both Skye and Toby back to the police station for questioning when they found Tim's body buried in their backyard. Toby's identity was exposed when it was revealed Gilliam was also working for the SCP Foundation, and Jack had struck a deal with the latter for his arrest in exchange for Toby and Skye being acquitted of all charges. While Toby himself was never interrogated, he briefly became a suspect for the concurrent homicide case until Skye and Jack vouched for his alibi.

He was kept alongside the others, though separately, in the holding cells at the police station overnight. However, having not consumed his medication since Skye was fired from her job at the clinic, both of them were already highly susceptible to the Operator's influence by this time. The Operator located them and subsequently abducted them the following morning, just as Bishop and Gilliam were about to question Toby about Clockwork due to their close relationship. It was later revealed HABIT had intervened in the abduction, and Toby, alongside Skye, were now being held in the former's domain, their status remaining unknown.

Personality
Toby seems to be somewhat cynical, often making sarcastic quips towards people close to him, though more often towards those he is irritable towards, such as his father.undefined

After Lyra's death, Toby became increasingly withdrawn from social interactions. Under the Operator's influence, he was apathetic, almost sadistic, killing mercilessly when he was rarely aggressive before, seen as he took some pleasure in killing and butchering his father.undefined

Once freed from the Operator's influence, Toby appeared remorseful and somewhat ashamed of his actions as a proxy. He avoided resorting to aggression since, showing that he was not an innately violent person prior to becoming a proxy. He was noted to have taken Tim's death harder and more personal than the others.

Physical Appearance
Toby has a lithe figure, short brown hair, dark brown eyes and pale, almost sickly skin. He is almost always covered in scars, some of which were sustained after the car accident, including a split eyebrow. Most notably, he has a large gash that stretches from the left corner of his lip to the center of his left cheek, as a result of habitually chewing out the skin of his cheek, exposing his teeth and gums. It has since been treated and healed to a certain degree after receiving proper medical treatment.

While serving as the Operator's proxy, he wore a dark olive green hoodie with striped sleeves and blue hood, a black t-shirt and dark blue jeans, which was the attire he was last seen wearing before he disappeared. He also wore yellow-tinted aviator goggles and a Hannibal Lecter-style mask to hide his identity.

Powers
Proxy Physiology: As a former Berserker proxy, Toby has been granted enhanced physical attributes. Pain Immunity : Toby suffers from an unspecified neurological disorder that renders him numb to any forms of pain. This effectively allows him to continue fighting longer than the average person as he would not be hindered by physical pain. However, this does not make him invulnerable, as he can still be injured as other humans and/or proxies can. This often results in him being unaware of the severity of his own wounds until he experiences other physical consequences and drawbacks, such as exhaustion or blood loss.
 * Enhanced Strength : Under the Operator's influence, Toby was able to overpower his father despite their difference in weight and figure. Jack also mentioned Toby was significantly stronger than he used to be, almost fighting on par against the cannibal even after he stopped holding back against his then-former friend.

Abilities

 * Expert Combatant : Despite never receiving any formal training, Toby is shown to be quite proficient in hand-to-hand combat, and is known as a ruthless killer during his time as one of the Operator's proxies. He was on par with the likes of Eyeless Jack and Clockwork.
 * Axe Mastery : Toby shows extreme skill in wielding his signature dual hatchets, either in melee fights or throwing them at his targets with deadly accuracy.

Possessions

 * Hatchets : Toby's main preferred weapons are his two hatchets, which originally belonged to his father. One of the hatchets appears to be newer with an orange handle while the other is older, slightly rusted and more blunt in comparison.undefined When not in use, he often kept them sheathed on his person using a strap around his body.
 * Mask and Goggles : During his time as a proxy, he often wears a pair of yellow-tinted circular aviator goggles and a Hannibal Lecter-style mask in order to disguise himself while carrying out missions.

Parents
Prior to encountering the Operator, Toby lived with his parents. His father, who remains unnamed, was an alcoholic, and often abusive towards the entire family, namely his mother Connie, his sister Lyra, as well as Toby himself. As a result of the abuse, Toby often ran away from home for a couple of days at a time, returning only because he knew his mother and Lyra would suffer his father's hand if Toby wasn't around to intervene, and receive the beating in their stead. Toby resented his father, even chastising his mother for welcoming him back home despite the abuse, and this hatred grew exponentially when the latter continued to show little to no empathy following Lyra's death. Under the Operator's influence, Toby lashed out and killed his father in cold blood, but briefly snapped back to his senses when his mother cried in horror. Fearing the consequences, Toby attempted to burn the house down to dispose of the evidence and was subsequently abducted by the Operator. Connie survived the fire, and went on to live with her sister.undefined
