Toby Moraitis comes from a large, loving Greek family. Toby has been out since High School and it was never an issue with his family. Toby’s the kind of guy who always took home the puppy nobody else wanted; he likes taking care of misfits. And Kevin is his ultimate misfit. When Kevin’s family rejected him, Toby decided that it was his job to take care of Kevin.

After initial reluctance to believe in the magic around Dante’s Cove, Toby is now fully aware of the forces at work around him. He doesn’t like it but he’s forced to admit that Van was right -- they have to fight fire with fire. If you’re going to be attacked by witches and warlocks, you’d better have some magical weapons in your own arsenal.

Toby wants to own a restaurant as his parents did. He loves taking care of people and is a pretty good cook, too. Toby’s had a few high-stress restaurant jobs before coming to Dante’s Cove but has always had trouble balancing work and relationships.

Toby has a history of being attracted to masculine, troubled boys uncomfortable with their sexuality -- from his high school buddy Adam to Kevin. In fact, that’s what brought him to Dante’s Cove. He fell for a young, troubled guy he worked with -- who was straight. Toby poured his energy and devotion into the impossible relationship. When it finally ended he quit his job and felt like he needed to get away completely, so he took the money he’d saved and headed for Dante’s Cove, where his old friend Vanessa was already living. He took a bartender’s job at a beach bar and tried to tell himself he was finding himself, rather than running from himself.

Sometimes Toby gets himself into such messes with men that he thinks he should give up on the gay world. In fact, Toby and Van made a pact that if they hadn’t both found same-sex mates by the time they turned 30, they would just get married to each other and have kids. (Toby comes from a big family and desperately wants kids.) Toby is starting to feel that maybe he’ll just give up on men if he can’t make it work this time with Kevin.

Toby and Kevin met on the beach in Laguna Beach. They’ve been together only a couple of months but Toby takes the relationship very seriously and all his friends know that he thinks Kevin is “the one.” Their relationship is plagued by constant ups and down -- Kevin’s fear of commitment and inexperience in long-term relationships has caused some of their arguments; others have been the result of magical interference.

Toby’s other primary relationship is with Adam, his best friend since High School. For years, Adam was in denial about his love for Toby, and treated Toby badly as a result. But Toby values Adam like family, and didn’t give up on him.
