Torbjörn Lindholm (called "Torby" by his friends) is one of the greatest weaponsmiths and engineers in the world. He has a low opinion of omnics, believing them to be incapable of empathy, instead acting purely on logic, and disagrees with giving them the same rights as humans. "Allt är inte guld som glimmar" (All that glitters is not gold) is one of his favorite phrases.
