Tobias, the one-armed monk, was Saint Mihai's travelling companion. The church made him a saint too, but the truth behind his fame is far darker.
Officially, Tobias converted Mihai from paganism and helped him kill a monster in the swamps, at the cost of his arm and Mihai's life.
Mihai was only worn out after the fight. Tobias chained him in silver and buried him, then invented the martyrdom story, because he could not accept that the hero was a pagan Dawnwalker.
