People from Mr. Toko's Past

As Mr. Toko's past gets revealed during both game series, so are the people who used to be involved with him back then. Most of these characters, due to how they appear, are Walking Spoilers.

Blake / Austin Lockwood

One of the members of the mysterious organization Toko used to work, and his best friend during his time there. Appears in the sixth episode of the first series, helping Toko/Johnny to escape. Like Toko, he's cheerful and laid-back, but has his own dark past: apparently, he was inducted into the organization after he lost his brother due to some unspecified "weakness" on his part.


Issac

The leader of the mysterious organization Toko (then "Johnny") used to work before losing his memories. He apparently recruits his personnel by saving their lives with his healing powers

  • Blinding Bangs: his hairstyle
  • Boom! Headshot!: How he kills Blake
  • Icy Blue Eyes: Only are seen one at a time in close-ups, as they are usually hidden behind his hair. They look both cold and guilt-ridden.
  • Foregone Conclusion: After killing Blake, he more or less says that it was his destiny.
  • For Your Own Good: the last thing he tell Johnny before stealing his memories.
  • Hidden Heart of Gold: He not only saves Tom/Johnny from the hospital, he let him abandon the Organization (which was established as a serve-until-you-die, if-you-want-out-you-must-die type of criminal syndicate) at the prize of his memories
  • Man in White: he dress this way to stand out over his own employees.
  • The Nicknamer: he personally gave his hitmen their codenames.
  • Superpower Lottery: Healing Hands and memory alteration

Sam

First appearing on the second series, Sam is the person appearing on Mr Toko's dreams and the poem at the beginning of every chapter.

  • Not-So-Imaginary Friend: the game doesn't clarify what exactly Sam was, only that he wasn't completely part of Tom/Mr. Toko's imagination and that he had enough power on his own to have keep Tom isolated of the world for almost a decade.
  • Posthumous Character: He was Dead All Along even when Tom speaks with him.
  • The Reveal: The human representation of Sam we see in the indent card and Mr. Toko's dreams? That's not him. Sam was actually an stuffed toy that was given to Tom, when he was hospitalized as a kid. Tom, who was extremely ill and couldn't interact with other kids, played a lot with the toy, gave it a name, and treated it like it was alive. Somehow, the toy gained enough sentience to feel love towards its owner, and enough magical power to try and keep Tom in a bubble of "frozen time" to ward off his imminent death. The bubble was so powerful, that when the hospital closed they forgot Tom was there, and both kid and toy would have been in the decayed hospital for a even longer time had Sam not lost his power on time for a dying Tom to be found by Isaac.
