Samuel Charles Tolbert || Human/Hunter || Neutral Portrayed by Ben Barnes

Biography /

A family always lead the life of being connected even if it was never intended to be. One sibling would strive to be better than the other. One chose a life that was opposite than that of their cousin. It didn’t matter if it was intentional in the beginning, but as the course of life took itself on, one would come to find that you are what your family is. For the Tolberts, it started with hunting. They weren’t the best or the most known, but what they lacked in the physical aspects of what hunting supernaturals brought, they excelled in what made a hunter the most lethal – his weapon. Samuel Tolbert was the eldest of two to the eldest Tolbert children of three, and just like his father before him, Sammy had known of supernaturals before he even understood what being a supernatural meant. He had always known that he had two aunts, and though both were never seen, it was due to one having moved away and the other one being dead. It was always something that was known, and not discussed, about his Aunt Sammy, the person he was named after, but it wasn’t until he was older that it made sense why. The Tolberts weren’t fighters, or so Sammy came to learn. His Aunt Laura was the one that had turned into a fighter and left the family, so it was never something discussed other than that their family held the smarts and not the brawns. It didn’t take a genius to put two and two together to know that the siblings weren’t close after their eldest sister was killed, more than likely at the hands of a supernatural, yet it was all information that Sammy had contributed to picking up on. That was how he learned – picking up the small details to put the entire story together. His dad trained him and his little brother to follow in the same field he had, which was engineering and weapons mastery. Knowing how to hold a gun, take it apart, which bullet was for werewolves, which was for vampires, what was the best weapon to kill a witch, what vervain looked like in solid form – it had been embedded into Sammy’s brain, yet never was the will to learn the combative form. He knew how to take down a vampire, but if you asked him to apply it in person, unless they were tied down, he couldn’t. It was something that embarrassed him, especially coming from a family that were supposed to be ‘hunters’ and it wasn’t until he had to go with his father to attend the funeral to his estranged Aunt Laura that drove him to want to learn. His smarts could only do so much, but if someone like Laura took so long to be taken down, what kind of chance would he have?

Important Points /

--Sammy had never got to know the side of his family that his dad never talked to, apart from attending the funeral and seeing his cousins from a distance. Even though it wasn’t as if they lived on opposite sides of the United States, seeing as his family still resided in Boston, Massachusetts, yet he could see how different the Tolberts and the Kingsmans appeared. There was a strain to their face, and even the house itself held many clues as to where weapons could be hidden. The fact that they were trained in that area and he wasn’t was what drew Sammy to seek out more than just sitting at a desk and constructing a new design for a gun. What if he was able to put that into play? Actually use it against the supernaturals his family was so vehemently against as opposed to using test subjects or objects at long distances? For his life, he had been the lanky, rich boy that didn’t do anything except get his Masters early on, he needed more.

--Boston was an easier place than New York when it came to distributing firearms, especially with the various laws being constructed by different states and clientele. Apart from his engineering degree, Sammy had also taken interest in marketing; trying to find a way to easily sell the weapons that his family was making without giving away what they actually were. Sure, the majority of the hunting community had knowledge of their weapon distribution, but learning how to sell them was what he wanted to learn, too. It was quite common for him to visit New York, not under the watchful eye of his father since he had always been the type to be opposed to the city because it meant more eyes on the family, but it was liberating to be around so many various cultures as opposed to the academic upbringing Sammy was used to. It drove him to go in search of other places that may be prime candidates to home his company he hoped to have soon – since the life of a hunter was never determined. Exactly as he had lived by, after the age of twenty-one, a hunter lived on borrowed time and they had to make the best of it. From Los Angeles, to Chicago, every major city he visited and it wasn’t until arriving in Seattle that he was met with the person, or at least, one of the people that influenced him to not just sit on his ass any longer but be a player on the field instead of one on the stands.

--Zachary Kingsman was a cousin that had been staring solemnly at his parent’s death, also one that he came to find out that had left the hunting world altogether after he had left high school rather than delving fully into it without having schooling holding him back. The thought alone made him think of his father, the effect that it had on him that one sister had died and the other had run off, yet the fact that it was the eldest Kingsman that had chosen such a nonviolent lifestyle made him wonder, what about his other two cousins? Sammy had been so influenced to delve even farther into his hunting after attending his aunt’s funeral, why hadn’t the eldest Kingsman either? The Tolberts weren’t the most famous hunting families, but the Kingsmans were, and if what happened to Zachary had happened to Andrew and Kaden, maybe New York City was the right place to be for Sammy. A lifetime of knowing and the few years of being able to, he figured maybe that was where it should be for the family and for the life that had drove him to where he was then. After all, the city was the hive for hunters, he would be no where near dry in making a name of himself.

“I’m fine,” Meg replied to her lawyer as they stepped out of the back offices, her tone pretty clearly indicating that she was actually very annoyed by the line of questioning she’d just been subjected to. Her annoyance wasn’t helped by her spotting a familiar face in the waiting area once they’d stepped out. She ushered the lawyer away, taking a deep breath. “I’m guessing they called you in to give a statement, too?”

Meg gave a small smile as she walked up the familiar figure. She’d noticed the moment he’d arrived, recognizing the scent of expensive cologne mixed with another scent that was just his own. “You look nice,” she complimented, glancing around as people cleared out after the wedding.
