Tobho's shop, by Logan Feliciano © Fantasy Flight Games

My work is costly, and I make no apologies for that, my lord. You will not find craftsmanship equal to mine anywhere in the Seven Kingdoms, I promise you. Visit every forge in King's Landing if you like, and compare for yourself. Any village smith can hammer out a shirt of mail; my work is art.[1]

The direwolf is the sigil of House Stark, is it not? I could fashion a direwolf helm so real that children will run from you in the street.[10]

Eddard: You know who the boy is. That is not a question.
Tobho: The boy is my apprentice. Who he was before he came to me, that's none of my concern.[1]
