Tobin Dax was a noted engineer and mathematician in Trill history. Tobin was the second host of the Dax symbiont. Tobin had a keen scientific mind, but was timid and shy in social situations. He had several children, but had a hard time disciplining them. Tobin also dabbled in botany and sleight-of-hand magic. He also devised his own proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.
When Curzon Dax underwent the ceremony of zhian'tara, in which his friends and family temporarily embodied past Dax hosts, Curzon gleefully got the Tobin host roaring drunk during the ceremony.
The character of Tobin Dax was originally going to be a crewmember on Enterprise. Michael Shanks was the fan favorite to play him. However, the character was dropped for some reason.[citation needed]
In the non-canon short story "Dead Man's Hand" (written by Jeffrey Lang and collected in The Lives of Dax), Tobin Dax was involved in the creation of an early transporter and encountered the Vulcan scientist Skon (Spock's grandfather) during an altercation with enemy Romulans.
Tobin was portrayed by Colm Meaney in the episode Facets, when Tobin's consciousness took over the body of Miles O'Brien during the zhian'tara ceremony of Jadzia Dax. Tobin was extremely nervous, biting O'Brien's fingernails and continuously making apologies for no real reason.
