Toval grew up in solitude until he ran into Micht, who offered him jobs as an intermediary. From about S.1197 to S.1199,[Note 1][Note 2] he assumed numerous identities, including "Phil, the frivolous", "Rooney, the trickster", and "Kris, the coward", and became a specialist in the delivery of stolen goods.[1]
Through these jobs he met Ein Selnate, who inspired him to become a bracer. Micht had given him an artifact to deliver in Liberl, one that made him a target of Jaegers from whose grasp he was rescued by Ein.[2] Toval's next destination was a high-class resort in Calvard, to which he was being accompanied by the bracers Clayton and Pavel.
In S.1200, Toval followed Ein's advice and joined the Bracer Guild as a B-rank Bracer.[1][2] Although he was proficient enough to become an A-rank Bracer, Toval declined the promotion and cancelled all talks regarding it.
In S.1202, the Assault on the Imperial Guilds caused the majority of the branches to shut down. Toval persevered, but his friends Sara Valestein and Wenzel were out of a job and caused the latter to move to the branch in Crossbell.
Toval is first introduced in Ring of Judgment, in which he's been traveling across Erebonia with Estelle and Joshua Bright, who in turn have been looking for Renne. As their experienced guide within the Imperial Guilds, they are being led to the Alster Branch in eastern Erebonia. While discussing missions, receptionist Miles gets a phone call for Toval. The caller, later revealed as Ein Selnate, demands Toval to take the mission regarding the remnants of the Jesters and promises him information on Renne in return.
They discover that the eponymous Ring of Judgment confronts its wearer with the sins from their consciousness. Alster mayor's grandson, Kai, is found possessed by the ring, which Joshua manages to steal from his finger with Toval's orbal art as his back-up. After Estelle pulls Joshua out of his depression caused by the ring, Ein shows up to retrieve the artifact. Toval introduces her as their contractor and she reveals that Renne can be found in Crossbell.
After Estelle and Joshua have left for Crossbell, Toval pays a visit to Kai and his sister, Tilia. While Ein entertains Tilia by reading Carnelia aloud, Toval waits for Kai to come home from work. When he does, he hands them a cheque given by Ein to treat Tilia's eyes. Toval praises Kai's ability to take care of Tilia while making a honest living. Meanwhile Tilia realised that the book is modelled after Toval and Ein, which makes her burst out in laughter.
The first time Toval appears in a game is during the second chapter of 영웅전설 섬의 궤적, May S.1204. Per Sara Valestein's request, he kept an eye on Class VII in Bareahard in case they end up in trouble. After Machias Regnitz is being arrested by the Kreuzen Provincial Army, Toval informs the remaining members of a secret entrance through the sewers of the city. Toval informed Sara about the situation and she hurried alongside Rufus Albarea to find her students in another predicament.
After Class VII leaves Bareahard, Toval is approached by Bleublanc who introduces himself as a low-ranking baron. Toval parries with the description of him he received from acquaintances, which in return is specified by Blueblanc as "a certain innocent couple from a foreign land," referring to Joshua and Estelle.[3]
Toval's duties soon have him return to Legram. The neutrality of Victor S. Arseid meant that its Bracer Guild is still operational, but just as understaffed as any other branch in Erebonia. There, he runs into Class VII once again in late August S.1204. Toval is concerned about the monster that appeared on the Ebel Highway, which turns out to be one of Ouroboros's archaisms. Its appearance coincides with the visit of Duke Cayenne and Rufus Albarea to persuade Victor S. Arseid to pledge his support for the Noble Alliance. Afterwards, Toval boards a train together with him.
With Victor's endorsement Toval boards the newly built Courageous to gather intelligence. After picking up Class VII to bring them to their next field studies, Toval and Sara exchange intelligence on the deck when Rean Schwarzer stops by to join them. They discuss the Eight Leaves One Blade school and Toval casually asks Rean whether he would be interested to join the Bracer Guild after graduating.
In November S.1204, Toval's work led him to the Eisengard Range to investigate the Magic Knights. While on his investigation, he found Rean, who had been missing for a month. Rean was battling the Magic Knight Ortheim, but he was still weakened from his fight with Crow. Toval narrowly saved Rean by casting some arts to send Ortheim plunging down a cliff.
At Lucia Schwarzer's request, Rean and Toval looked for her lost wedding ring. Although they managed to retrieve the ring, the cold weather in Ymir stiffened their bodies and they decided to warm up again in the Phoenix Wings' hot springs. During their bonding moment, Toval advised Rean not to worry so much and told him about his background, how a certain encounter led him onto the path of a bracer.
After Class VII comes together and their efforts lead them to the Infernal Castle, Toval and Olivert Reise Arnor help them out by keeping Bleublanc and Duvalie at bay with their fast arts.
Toval continues his duties to gather intelligence aboard the Courageous. When Class VII struggles to retrieve the stolen railway guns from Ouroboros in the Languedoc Valle, Toval and Agate come to their rescue. Toval faces off against Campanella.
During the summoning of the Gral of Erebos, the crew of the Courageous speeds to the Karel Imperial Villa to help out their friends. Sadly, the ship explodes in front of everyone's eyes and Toval goes missing alongside Olivert and Victor.
Hello there, beautiful. May I have a moment of your time?
Please be aware spoilers for 영웅전설 섬의 궤적 IV may be present in the following section. Hit [Show] on the right if the show must go on. Adios, amigos!
영웅전설 섬의 궤적 IV
Believed to be dead, Toval had been saved alongside Olivert and Victor by Bleublanc. Unlike the other two men, Toval miraculously escaped with no severe injuries. He was still haunted by the fact that he could not help Victor in maintaining the barrier with his arts. Toval miraculously shows up alongside Olivert's Courageous II to turn the tables during the battle aboard the Pantagruel on 26 August, S.1206. He continues to support Radiant Wings by invading the Salt Pales and lending his aid in the battle against Ishmelga.
The infiltration of the Salt Pales split the combined forces into five parties. Toval was teamed up with Aurelia Le Guin, Victor S. Arseid, and Vita Clotilde. The overwhelming strength of Toval's team completely pulverised enemy forces, leaving Toval to wonder why he wound up in a team with "three Ein-tier monsters".[4] During the infiltration, Victor asks why he turned down the promotion to A-rank Bracer, with Toval stating he feels more comfortable at the B-rank.
When the Great War ended, Toval was seen working with Anelace Elfead to deal with the aftermath of the war.
영웅전설 시작의 궤적
Toval fights alongside Olivert, Alfin Reise Arnor and Roselia in the Erebonian Martial Arts Tournament, forming a team of arts users. They lose to Rean and Duvalie's team. He tries to recruit Ash Carbide to the Bracer guild, after attending the Branch Campus Academy Festival.
After being contacted by Sara, Toval makes it to the final battle against Elysium at Retributive Tower, flying in with other bracers in a small fleet of Bobcats.
There we go, the end of spoilers. Thank you for your time!

Solidarity Toval and Michael bonded over the... difficult people in each of their lives. At least they know they aren't alone.
Holy Beast's Trial Toval stood with Class VII against Argres. Emerging victorious, they were granted the last vestige of its power, the Earthen Prison.
A senior bracer at the Legram branch with a warm, reliable air about him. His fast arts through modified orbments has led many to call him the Zero Artisan.
Danger Doer Toval is a last-minute entrant into the martial arts competition, but as one who dances with danger on the regular, he adjusts quickly.

Notes
↑In the first volume of Carnelia, Toby says "he first began receiving jobs from Micht about the time when dissension began to occur in society over the Hundred Days War. It was during this period that relations between the Liberl Kingdom and the Empire were at their worst and the importation of orbments had become almost non-existent". It is difficult to deduce a date from this, but it corresponds with the general distrust toward Erebonia found in Moon Door 2 in 영웅전설 하늘의 궤적 the 3rd, which took place in S.1197.
↑In the Finale of Carnelia, Toval says the incident with Ein Selnate was three years ago and it had been two years since he started working as a bracer. In the first volume of Carnelia, he says he was 22-years-old when he started the mission. Toval is 27-years-old in 영웅전설 섬의 궤적 II, meaning he was 23 (in S.1200) when he started working for the Bracer Guild.
