'''Tobin''' (Japanese: {{hl|ロビン|Robin}} ''Robin'') is a [[Zofia]]n [[villager]] appearing in {{FE2}} and its [[Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia|3DS remake]]. He is from [[Ram]] and is one of the first people to accompany Alm.

He is one of the first characters recruited in the game. He agrees to follow Alm and seize Zofia's castle at the beginning of the game. After the war, he becomes a knight of Valentia.

Tobin is one of the first characters to join Alm's party, doing so at the beginning of Act 1 as a level 2 Villager. His most prominent boon is his base 6 Speed, the fastest of all three Villagers; however, his shaky Speed growth will likely prevent him from doubling in Act 3 and beyond, and his similarly poor Attack growth makes his damage output questionable at times.

Tobin's stat spread makes him a horrible choice for a Mercenary. His base Speed is squandered on a class that automatically grants anyone 10 Speed, and his poor offensive growths make him suboptimal going forward. For similar reasons, he isn't a great Cavalier since his questionable offenses will cause him to fall off in favor of Clive and Mathilda. He can do well as a Soldier, as the class line's high base Attack and Defense patches up his growths quite nicely and his low Speed beyond Act 1 becomes a non-issue. His canon-favored Archer class is a solid choice, allowing him to fight safely from the back lines and get access to the almighty Killer Bow later on. As a Mage, his spell list sacrifices quantity for quality. He gets the lightweight and powerful Excalibur at level 6, which is doable by the end of Act 1, and also picks up Physic as a level 5 Sage to ensure that there's always something for him to do.
