Shortly after, he found Charles Waverly was trying to usurp control Counter-Measures. When Gilmore was accused of murdering Waverly, Sir Toby helped Gilmore avoid the authorities while appointing Waverly's main, James Astor, as an interim Counter-Measures member in order to draw out the truth. (He deliberately kept the truth and news of the manhunt from Rachel Jensen, and the murder was "officially" a [[suicide]].) While he knew [[Emma Waverly]] was one of the eugenic creations, he was horrified to discover Astor ''was'' Emma — the experiment giving her the ability to shapeshift — and witness the transformation himself.

Sir Toby pretended to all characters that he was unaware of the situation, using different lies for different people, and tried to talk Bradley into standing down. In the end, when it was clear how dangerous the reactor was, he pretended to talk to the government on her behalf and, behind Jensen's back, had the army bury the citadel in cement.

Sir Toby was himself manipulated when the [[Soviet Union]] conned the UK intelligence community into thinking a psychic [[chess]] player wanted to defect.
