Russ Tobin - Tobin As Character

Tobin As Character

Russ Tobin was described as a good looking man, 6 feet tall, with brown hair and blue eyes. At the beginning of the books he is reported to be 22 years old. He was a bit of a ladies' man, often seducing as many as four women per book. Tobin did not settle down with any of them though, preferring one night stands. He did come across one or two women that he briefly fell in love with, but his love of travel (and most certainly of meeting and conquering new women across the globe) meant that he basically ran from those kinds of relationships.

Tobin had lots of different jobs. He started out as a sewing machine salesman, went on to becoming a debt collector, had a brief career in TV ads for selling washing powder, and then started to work and travel overseas. He was a courier (which was the equivalent of a tour guide) on the Spanish isle of Majorca. He worked as a safari guide in Kenya, a Santa Claus in Canada, a male escort in Australia, and finally a film star in Hollywood.

Tobin's exact global itinerary throughout the series of novels is Liverpool; London; Majorca; Nairobi; Nassau; Miami; New York; Toronto; Las Vegas; Tahiti; Sydney; Ireland; Los Angeles; and Brighton.
