Thoby Baybrook is a young Shadowhunter in London during the early 1900s who attended Shadowhunter Academy with Alastair Carstairs.
History[]
In 1903, Thoby and his family were living in London. He attended the younger set's picnic at Regent's Park where they were attacked by mysterious demons in the daylight. Before the attack, he was spotted down by the water with Piers Wentworth by Alastair Carstairs, who supposedly went to meet up with his friends.
Some days later, these same demons appeared at his family home and attacked their guests as they left the gathering. This resulted in the death of Randolph Townsend and the infection of two other visitors with demon poison.[1]
At some point between August and December, he got engaged to Rosamund Wentworth; a fact that she flaunted at James Herondale and Cordelia Carstairs's wedding ceremony.
A few weeks later, they held their engagement party at the Wentworths'. There was an ice sculpture of Rosamund and Thoby in the center of the ballroom, which happened to be the reason why the party had not been called off in light of the recent death of Amos Gladstone. After welcoming the newly wedded James and Cordelia, he steered off James to the new billiards room, as per Rosamund's wishes. Some time later during the party, he and Rosamund had begun arguing—seemingly because the ice sculpture was melting. After having rushed to greet the late arrival, he danced with Grace Blackthorn and looked visibly awestruck by her, causing some of the guests and Rosamund to gape at the display.[2]
Physical description[]
Thoby is tall and has pale blond hair. He is considered to be weak-chinned, and in the past had grown a goatee to combat it.[2]
