Old Tobias is a Nord marauder who lives in Anvil.
Tobias spends all his time in The Fo'c'sle; he eats from noon to 2pm, and spends the rest of his time sitting around chatting his his fellow patrons.
He wears a green wool shirt, belted braies, braided leather sandals, and carries a bowl of pottage.
Old Tobias is partially responsible for Alan's death after Alan brought a shipment of wine to Anvil - instead of doing the deed himself, he lent his dagger to someone else, though he'll only tell you after you threaten him: "Who is Alan? That wimpy wine merchant? Well, I didn't kill him. He showed off a lot here, got the attention of some important people. So they had him killed. I didn't kill him myself, I stood lookout. Left it to the younger men. Willie Splinter used my blade. I only gave him my dagger. Willie broke his blade when he poked something into a bottle. He swore loudly, then took my knife and cut Alan. They gave me money and told me to bring the goods down from the city, but I'm not a fool, I didn't obey. I'm staying here now." He doesn't know where the shipment went, however: "Hey! How do I know? Willie took the goods away with his friends. They said they would be taken to a ship, to some bloke who ordered Alan's death. They got into the boat at nightfall, and rowed away. And here I am... Hear! Don't kill me, eh? What am I? I just followed orders, and I stood watch. I did nothing. Let me go, huh?" He does, however, know how to get to the ship: "Let me tell you how to get to the ship - there is a boat beside the crane. Tell the man "The parrot has arrived", and he will row you over. Leave me unharmed. I am nobody, may Sheogorath kiss me passionately, if I lie!"
Later on, you'll find out that he looted Alan's amulet, so you'll have to pay him another visit: "Huh? What amulet? You're talking rubbish!" When he finds out it's you again, he'll hand it over: '""Oh no, it's you again? Don't touch me! I'm an old man! I haven't bathed for half a year. Girls don't like me! Here. Here is the amulet. Take it and leave me alone! Get out! Don't touch me!"
