--TOBIAS FINCH HAS BEEN WITH THE GROUP SINCE THE FARM. He goes almost completely unnoticed, only doing what he has to in order to get by and show his usefulness with the group. He goes on runs with Glenn, watches Judith with Beth, spends time with Carol reading to the children, and keeps to himself when he isn't doing his part. He's a shy person, with a sweet personality. He's the mom of the friend group, alongside Beth, his very close friend. They've been inseparable since he was taken in by her family. He likes routine, and gets uneasy when it's broken.

His anxiety really sets in when their short-lived home is destroyed by the 'Governor,"--a man that they thought had given up on trying to take it from them a long time ago.
