Toby Hodder

Toby Hodder is a young man in his mid-twenties passing through Texas with his younger sister, Kim Hodder and a group of friends.

Being the oldest of the group, Toby is the de-facto leader and is often left to make the hard decisions. At some point in his youth, Toby took the blame for his friend Christopher Harvey when the latter was found with a stash of weed. According to a brief argument between him and his sister, Toby admires their father to an almost unhealthy extent. Toby is also very patriotic, wanting to go fight in the Vietnam War to serve his country, although it's implied that the real reason for him wanting to go to war is to earn his father's respect.

Toby soon ends up fighting a very different kind of war when he goes up against the cannibalistic Sawyer Family.
