Overall Description:
Although Tobias's body has changed dramatically over the years, his new body is permanent. When his hawk body was getting too old to be of use, he trapped himself in Hork-bajir morph so he could still fight against David. This particular Hork-bajir is a morph of Seer, the gigantic Hork-bajir who was host to the Yeerk warrior Guraff 427. As such, Tobias is now huge, standing nearly 9 feet tall and weighing proportionately.
Unlike regular Hork-bajir, Tobias sometimes wears clothing, most likely in an effort to remind himself that, at least originally, he was human. Naturally, most clothing doesn't fit him, so he has to have it specially tailored, which is a hassle, so he has a small selection of clothing.
Overall Description:
Although Hork-bajir are peaceful people, and Tobias himself was a very passive human, his many years as a hawk are the ones that dominate his mind. Though he is not aggressive or especially violent, he does have a predatory mindset. When he has a goal, he will ruthlessly pursue it in the most efficient manner, whether this goal is the destruction of one of Uncle David's facilities or getting a new coat that will fit his Hork-bajir body. However, when he is not directed towards any particular goal, Tobias is a passive person, more than willing to let his 'better half' take any aggressive actions that need to be taken.
Tobias is a quiet person, who enjoys spending time with his family. Although a calm individual, he will tolerate absolutely no threat to his family or their safety and will react violently to anything that might harm them. However, overprotective is not the accurate word to describe him, as he knows that his family can take care of itself.
He has, by and large, given up on defeating David. He tried fighting a massive empire before when the Yeerks invaded and it didn't work. In the end, it was David who defeated them and the Animorphs ended up on the run. However, Tobias also knows that David is one-of-a kind, and that whoever succeeds him after his eventual death will probably be a lot easier to deal with. Perhaps they could even be reasoned with. So Tobias devotes his time to protecting what he can of the world before David came to power in the hopes that it can be restored.
However, his personality is not such that he can just sit around while David commits abuse after abuse. So, when asked for aid by resistance groups, Tobias is willing to provide what help he can, be it his experience as an Animorph, his physical skills, or just acting as a guide.

History:
Tobias was one of the original Animorphs, the five kids who met a dying Prince Elfangor in a construction site. On one of their first missions, Tobias was trapped in the body of a red-tailed hawk. Several months later, he was given back his morphing power by the Ellimist as a reward for leading some Hork-bajir to freedom. Tobias continued to fight against the Yeerks (and later the Antimorphs) alongside his fellow Animorphs.
During David's rise to power, Tobias fought him in any way he could, but in the end it wasn't enough. No one would listen when Tobias warned them about David's true nature. And when David began to use military force against his critics, Tobias was unable to stop him. Since then, his life has been an attempt to survive while David's agents hunt him and those close to him. By and large, Tobias keeps to himself, though he is willing to aid resistance groups in any way he can. He has spent the last 20 years being a thorn in David's paw.
When Tobias's natural hawk body aged to the point where he was on the verge of death, Tobias chose one of his morphs to trap himself in permanently so that he could continue fighting. Although he considered using his human body, he decided to go with a deadlier one and trapped himself in a Hork-bajir morph. That Hork-bajir was Seer, host to the Yeerk warrior Guraff 427. While this body is great for combat, Tobias dreams of being a human again. He knows that David somehow found a way to restore his own human body without losing the ability to morph and without the aid of beings like the Crayak and the Ellimst. Tobias is obsessed with finding out how he did this.
