Obi works for Zen and stands out as one of the story's most peculiar characters—though the oddness tends to lean more quirky than sinister. He makes a memorable first impression by shooting an arrow at the wall next to Shirayuki, ostensibly to scare her. The constant mask covering his face earned him a reputation as potentially dangerous, which plays into the mystery surrounding him pretty effectively.
What makes Obi genuinely intriguing compared to other characters in the series is that his actual reasons for sticking with Zen remain completely opaque. While everyone else's motivations eventually become clear, his stay shrouded in ambiguity, giving him an unusual air of inscrutability that fans have picked up on. It's part of what makes him work—he's loyal, he's useful, and he's fundamentally unknowable, which is kind of the whole appeal.
