Tobias Marquandt

"Velma, take a message to Little Roundhead. 'Dear Miguelito comma I've heard of your plans and I congratulate your audacity comma however, the Baroness du Piquet is under our protection full stop. If you value what little is left of your hair and the scalp to which it is attached comma I suggest you stick to rolling drunks.Full stop. Marquandt.' Send it the usual way."

- Tobias Marquandt

Of medium height and a wiry but powerful build, Marquandt has brush-cut blond hair and a handlebar moustache on an otherwise clean-shaven face. A duelling scar on his left cheek and a broken nose work to make him look older than his 39 years. His grey-green eyes are always alert, never failing to take in the entire scene.

Tobias Marquandt loves a challenge and the game of cat and mouse. After travelling the Empire and Kislev as an adventurer, he realised that he could put his talents to profitable use by protecting others. He puts his heart and soul into his work, and doesn't take it at all well on those rare occasions when the opposition gets through. He is a firm believer in the idea that payback, as he puts it, "is a bitch".

Marquandt has extensive contacts in Marienburg society, from Goudberg to Doodkanaal, and in several cities of the Old World. He has neither encouraged nor discouraged the rumours of his corruption, because these have led to useful contacts within Marienburg's underworld and actually brought in business. And, though he has been known to trade information of use to the League, he has never betrayed a client.

He knows that Aunt Mina is a fence, and uses her as a conduit to get messages to Adalbert Henschmann. At present he is considering a request to provide clandestine protection to Margaretta of Kruiersmuur. The request came not from her, but in a letter from an anonymous person who sent along enough gold to pay for a month's service. Marquandt is naturally curious about the author's identity.
