But how So basically, Tobias' Semblance only activates when his Aura depletes. When it activates, it makes him invulnerable to any and all damage.

When he shot himself, before the bullet reached his brain, his Semblance activated so it wouldn't kill him. Seeing as how he was hidden partially behind a wall, Siva was relatively young when it happened (incorrect memories), and he didn't come closer to his father, Siva assumed that Tobias indeed died.

He acted dead until Siva and his sister left the house, and they never heard from one another again.
