Who is Uncle Toby from The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy and what is their importance?

Toby's good and modest nature seems at odds with his love of war. However, Tristram presents this as nothing more than naive patriotism. Toby feels that war is a necessity, but this opinion certainly does not take away from his generous spirit. One example of his humanity is when he hears of Le Fever's illness. Toby does not know Le Fever, but when he meets him, he cannot believe that such an honorable person will die.so Toby does everything in his power to prevent Le Fever's death. In the end, he assumes care of Le fever's son.
