Trim

Trim

Corporal Trim was a soldier at Namur with Toby. After the war he took it upon himself to be Toby's all encompassing servant. Trim is a kind and gentle man, of much the same demeanor as his "master". He knows just as much about the battles he and Toby study as Toby, and has a greater capacity to resist the temptation of getting carried away. Trim's hobby horse is doing everything Toby does, his main goal is pleasing his companion, friend, and master.
