Personality
Tobias is a determined individual as superstitions, which he does not believe in, did not deter him from entering the Temple of the Snake King. He is oblivious but is nonetheless loving in his own way.

Season 4
In the heart of the Amazonian forest, Tobias enters the Temple of the Snake King alone despite the wary protests of the natives believing it be cursed. He documents his findings through a recorder and comes about the Snake King's throne upon which he is seated. The inscription explains that upon taking a wife, the Snake King will reclaim his kingdom. Next to the king, is an empty throne with a ring on it. Tobias reads its inscriptions, "There is no place for love to live in the Dark Lord..." Tobias does not understand it and takes the ring, planning to gift to his girlfriend, Iris.

He is with Iris on the beach after just coming back from his expedition and meets her old friend Bloom and her boyfriend, Sky. At this time he presents Iris the ring he found at the temple. Once Iris puts it on, Bloom tells her not do so which infuriates Tobias. When Sky tries to calm him down, Tobias snaps at him. Bloom stops them from getting into an argument and she explains to Iris that the ring is emitting a large amount of dark energy. Problem is, Iris cannot take it off! When Bloom tries herself the ring zaps her and the two fall onto the ground.

The beach starts to tremble causing the waves to become rough and endangering people. The Winx and Specialists spring into action and during this Queen Diana, the Major Fairy of Nature, telepathically communicates with the Winx and explains the situation. By putting on the ring, known as the Ring of Fate, it awakens the Snake King from his slumber and the curse begins. The king will search for the woman wearing the ring and if he touches the ring, he will marry her and he will take over the Planet - no one can stop him. To remove the curse and send the king back to his stone prison, the woman wearing the ring must sit on the bride's throne and take it off.

The Snake King appears right after Diana finishes her explanation and the Winx hurriedly teleports Tobias and Iris to the Amazon while the Specialists and Roxy stay behind to help people.

Tobias and Iris get into an argument. She is mad at him for giving her a cursed ring and putting people in danger. Tobias denies it and tells her not exaggerate. She is also mad that he did not even "ask" before giving the ring to her, much to his confusion. He then leads the group to the temple unaware that the Snake King is coming.

Tobias, Iris and the Winx enter the temple and when asked if he was afraid while inside the temple alone as it looked creepy, he explain that the natives did warn him but thought they were just afraid of a ridiculous superstition. As they walk further into the temple, the guardian statutes begin attacking them, dragging Iris onto the bride's throne and restraining her to prevent her from removing the ring. Tobias is knocked away from her as are the Winx. But thanks to Stella's comment, Bloom figures that the guardian statues have been sealed in the dark for so long, they are weak against light. Stella summons light and the vines and guardian statues release their hold on Iris. The Winx holds off the guardians. Tobias comes to Iris' aid when she falls off the throne and encourages her to get back on it so that the ring can be removed. Just then the Snake King arrives and Tobias shields Iris. The Snake King closes in on him, a frightening sight, that is when Tobias remembers the inscription and proclaims his love for Iris aloud. This stuns the king and Iris takes off the ring, finally forcing the king back into his stony imprisonment.

Afterwards, Iris asks Tobias if he really does love her. He is shy about it but it is clear he does, and they share a sweet moment. Diana proceeds to scold him for not taking curses seriously once they exit the temple. He returns home with Iris to enjoy the Winx's concert.
