Personality: He seems absolutely devoid of it. He stares off into space and will respond with overly literal and minimalist answers to questions. He does not regard money as being a problem because it has never been a problem for him. He lives in a bit of an ivory tower believing all problems are one quick intervention away from being solved.

His parents died when he was young, and he was unceremoniously dumped in the city orphanage. Hobart grew up in the orphanage, tormented by the older kids and famished from lack of food. To avoid death by starvation, most orphans take to a life of crime or prostitution (often both), and so did Hobart. After months of barely getting by, Hobart managed to ambush a major caravan with a load of valuables. Instantly wealthy, he made his way to the capital under a new identity.
