Biography:

Tobi was introduced as a relatively new member of Akatsuki and one of Zetsu’s subordinates. He was later made a full-fledged Akatsuki member to replace Sasori as Deidara’s partner. Tobi’s face is hidden by an orange mask which features a clockwise spiral pattern (theories) with one hole near the center for his right eye. He has a goofy personality and likes to joke around with Deidara, though the latter often loses patience with him.

Tobi has not been seen using any attack abilities so far in the series. In nearly every battle, his most signature move has been to run away. But Tobi has also shown an amazing ability to recover from devastating attacks; where this ability stems from is unknown.

***SPOILERS***
In chapter 364 of the Naruto manga, Tobi has identified himself as Madara Uchiha, an ancient member of the former Uchiha clan who battled against the First Hokage. However, many fans believe that Tobi is not Madara, but Obito Uchiha, one of Kakashi’s former teammates who gave him his left Sharingan eye before his death (theories). It has been shown through a close-up of the hole in his mask that Tobi indeed has a Sharingan eye.

Abilities and Jutsus:

Sharigan (Bloodline) (Genjutsu) Tobi's Sharingan eye can be seen through the hole in his mask.

Dimensional Phasing (Special) A powerful and little understood ability which allows Tobi to phase parts of his body out of the current dimension so that all attacks simply pass through his body harmlessly. This ability also allows Tobi to travel great distances instantly by phasing his body through dimensional rifts.
