• Nathan Explosion: Nathan acts as a protective, paternal father figure toward Toki. While initially dismissive, Nathan grows to deeply care for Toki, often defending him from the others, standing up for him, and offering comfort. However, Toki once tasered and beat Nathan during a chaotic conflict involving a girlfriend.
• Skwisgaar Skwigelf: A complex dynamic of rivalry, mentorship, and brotherhood. Toki was the only guitarist capable of keeping up with Skwisgaar during auditions, earning his spot by forcing Skwisgaar to play better. Skwisgaar constantly belittles Toki's lack of practice and re-records his parts out of hidden insecurity. Both drop the 's' when referring to Pickles ("Pickle"). In high-stakes moments, they view each other as true brothers.
• William Murderface: Murderface is a persistently bad influence on the impressionable Toki, dragging him into get-rich-quick schemes, lawsuits, and bad habits. Despite their frequent bickering and Murderface's bullying, they form a side partnership, working together on music projects like Planet Piss and Get Thee Hence.
• Pickles: Pickles treats Toki like a younger brother, looking out for his well-being while occasionally teasing him. Toki affectionally calls him "Pickle" without an 's'.
• Charles Foster Offdensen: Toki views Charles as a strict yet dependable authority figure and caretaker.
• Dr. Rockzo: Due to his childhood bond with a straw clown doll, Toki harbors an unwavering trust for clowns, treating Dr. Rockzo as a genuine friend and constantly defending him despite his destructive habits.
• Family (Reverend & Anja Wartooth): Holds severe trauma toward his cold, religiously oppressive parents who punished him harshly throughout his upbringing in Norway.
• Magnus Hammersmith: Toki's original predecessor in Dethklok. Toki was targeted and abducted by Magnus, forming a tragic dynamic rooted in Magnus's bitterness over being replaced. Knowledge, Craft, and Mastery
