*Tobi nods slowly, thinking about what Tara has said.*
"My full name is Tobias Mengsk Holzer. I was originally from Rheinland before being kidnapped by some Corsairs. I used my skills to trick some Lane Hackers into thinking that there was gold on a Corsair transport, I hid inside the transport when they took the ship. I managed to join them for a while, helping them advance their technology and upgrading their systems, I felt like I belonged there. I called it home."
*Tobi shifts uncomfortable in his seat.*
"Once they found out that the Corsairs were looking for me, they sold me to them straight away."
*He takes a large sip from his drink, this time he did not cough or seem to mind the ale. Then Tobi removes his hood, revealing his face to Tara, staring her in the eye. His left eye was all white. A large scar ran down his forehead, through his eye to his cheek. The left side of his face showed signs of burn marks as well as the deep scar.*
"This is what they gave me, as a reminder not to run away from them. "
*Tobi put his hood up over his head again. Noticing his left hand; was also badly scarred and showed burn marks, just like his face. His split personality disorder suddenly became apparent.*
"I understand that you don't care about my past. I need a real home, I need to be safe, I'm sick of running and hiding. Tired of being paranoid*
*Mengsk sighs*
"When I'm Tobi, I feel afraid that they will find me. When I'm behind a screen, I become Mengsk. The feared hacker that knows and see's all. But really, I'm just a little scared man trying to stay alive. "
*Mengsk looks at Tara, a stern look on his face*
"I can help the Commonwealth, I can help drive the Commonwealth name up to greater prestige. Tobi is only a liability, you will need to keep him safe."
"Who?...Me? I'm just a harmless Freelancer; A free spirit, a feather in the wind, a wan- Oh. The Cardamine. I'm holding it for a friend."
