"I've loved you since I can't remember when, and I'm going to love you until I can't forget how."
—Toby to Happy


Dr. Tobias "Toby" Merriweather Quinn-Curtis (b.1982) is a Scorpion Team Member. He is a behaviorist and medical prodigy specializing in psychiatry. He has an IQ of 170, which is the lowest on the team, minus Paige Dineen and Cabe Gallo.

Personality[]

Toby is a narcissist with a slight dusting of addiction tendencies. Toby is usually humorous but can become very serious in appropriate situations (for example when Happy is in danger). He usually jokes in the inappropriate situations as well. He makes these jokes to cover his real feelings he still harbors inside of all of his conflict of both his ex-wife and his parent's mental issues that he failed to fix.

Biography[]

Pre-Scorpion[]

Toby was raised in Brooklyn and attended PS 90 in Coney Island. His mother was clinically bipolar, and his dad often forgot he was there because Toby's mom's disorder distracted him. Toby decided to become a psychiatrist to help his parents. He received his doctorate when he was seventeen. Toby's father would also take him to tracks on Christmas Day, and later to pay for school Toby began to gamble, which led to an addiction and trouble with loan sharks.

Amy Berkstead, Toby's ex-fiancée, left him because of his gambling addiction. He also borrowed money from her to pay off some of his debts. Amy ended up marrying his nemesis Quincy Berkstead, which caused some insecurity on his part.
