Abilities: Gun knowledge: His abilities with a gun are equal or a little less then a military marksmen. Anton has been known to fire his musket effectively and accurately at ranges that the bullet would have dropped or just missed. Training and incredible patience (He belives he has nothing better to do) allow him to be the sniper he is. After all the years of waiting hours, days, maybe even weeks for an animal to appear Anton has gotten quite used to this by now and is willing to wait just as long or longer for any other target. He uses Cairo as his spotter if he ever needs her to be and can fire at speeds of 4 shots a minute on a good day and if the ammo and target can last that long

               Annoying people
               

Personality: Anton's one of the quietest people you will ever meet. He is soft spoken and never talks unless he really needs to. He mostly has Cairo do the talking for him, as she can handle people better than he can. He's also a rather shy fellow, tending to stay away from people as much as possible. Normally he's a mellow person, but a friend can even get close enough to pat his head, something that Cairo says is a great honor... But he generally dosnt really have many friends outside his home village. Antons also increadibly close to his parents, he hardley gets to talk to them as mail can only go so so fast and writing wasn't one of the main things he learned when he was growing up. Once a year he also attempts to try and visit David, Butch and Peppers graves, usually around the summer months when they were attacked.


Anton is a excellent sniper, having even declared that he shot an elven arrow right from the sky and is more accurate than any bowman. He never seemed to actually gain any formal training, mostly going off instinct and the lessons David gave him. He tends to use a scope that is esentially a smaller telescope that is calibrated with his musket. Antons has also tries to improve the rifle as best he can with constant reworkings and having to use tune it up constantly since its now outdated weapon with the invention of lever action and bolt action rifles.


History: Anton was the son of a smith in one of the towns in Dariens Steps. From the start, Anton was a rather quiet child. As he grew up, his parents realized that he wasn’t the healthiest of children in his town. He also wasn’t the strongest either, usually having a trouble carrying anything. Soon, though, his uncle David found that Anton never really seemed to do much at all. In an attempt by his father and and uncle to toughen him up, Anton began to join in his uncle’s hunting trips at the age of 12. For most of the time he spent with his uncle was mostly to help carry the animal back, or maybe to hold the ammunition for David’s musket. This went on for years; Anton seemed to grow stronger, but not by much, getting sick every few months instead of every month, and he even began to learn how to shoot. From what his uncle said, he was a natural, capable of hitting marks even David couldn't hit when he was Anton’s age.


3 years later on a usual hunting expedition, they tracked a moose that would provide a bounty of meat. Unfortunately, right after they brought the animal down, they heard howls in the distance. Regardless of their muskets, they were chased all the way back to the village, or at least most of the way there (the wolves stopped half way). After that it was a few weeks until they were able to hunt again since they had to wait for the wolves to pass through. And even when they did leave it dawned spin David to buy a dog, not only as a way to help track animals and warn them of wolfs earlier, but as something Anton could bond with, even after all this time he was still very shy and talked only if he really really needed to.


When they had a chance, they bought a pair of rottweilers named Butch and Pepper from a trader. They were a bit different from other dogs, turns out that either had changed their bloodline, causing their minds to expand and even grow slowing them to achieve sentience and even be able to speak. Now the dogs had never spoken to the trader himself due to the fact that they didn't trust him, he seemed like a rather greedy man that would of sold them off to a shady establishment if he had known. Bruno and Pepper turned out to be exceptional hunting dogs as they could keep up with the larger game like moose and boars and could also warn of any oncoming threats like mammoth herds from the plains or wolf packs from the denser parts of the woods. Eventually though, when the boys did find out, it wasn't as big a shock to then as you would think. For people that live in a world with centuars and werewolfs and bat people, talking dogs wasn't so far off, but it still shocked them a bit. Reguardless the guys got used to them talking in a matter of weeks.


Years started to go by. His parents plan kept working as Anton grew stronger and somewhat healthier, but he also grew increasingly close to the dogs. They were together every moment of the day; they may as well have eaten from the same plates (which they did a few times, but that's a story for another day). So this is why Anton nearly passed out when he learned that the two were expecting puppies. Two months later, it wasn't such a happy time. Of the 6 puppies that were born, only 1 survived. Regardless of what happened, Bruno, Pepper, and Anton went into a very quiet phase of their lives, tending to stay secluded from many others and caring for the only pup, who they named Cairo after a story Anton's mother used to tell. And so time went by, Cairo grew up and ended up being more like a sister to Anton than any person could have been. Together they formed a weird little family that hunted together, not unlike the wolves that continued to bother them. Now unfortuantly during one of the times that Anton had to stay home with Cairo cause he came down with a flu, David entered the house and collapsed. He was bloodied and scarred, his rifle missing and his right arm broken. But Anton was most concerned by Pepper and Bruno’s disappearance. As David was nursed back to health by Anton's mother, he told of how he and the dogs were about to take down a deer before a black griffin swooped down from the sky and stole their kill. Little did they know that they were in the wrong place at the wrong time and should have fled, though before they had any time to act, the beast landed behind them. The group tried their best to fight it off, but to no avail; the creature was too strong for all of them to take on at once. Pepper and Bruno didn't make it, sacrificing themselves to distract the creature to allow for David’s escape. Their deaths seemed almost in vain as David died two days later. Now 18, Anton seemed to grow a deep grudge against his uncle, but soon began to blame the gryphon instead. He packed the essentials and started off with Cairo in search of the beast. It was a wandering male, always searching for food and mates in different parts of the world. As Anton travels around he picks up bounties set on other creatures that have caused havoc and destruction in their paths; it allows for a source of money and a way to feed themselves.

Extra stuffs: -Anton has a rottweiler named Cairo who is basic his sister. She acts as his translator due to the fact that Anton tends not to speak at all around people. She on the other had is versed in a few languages due her parents having a traveled with the man long enough to pick them up. Cario is kind of like Anton's polar opposite, she's very outgoing and tends to run up to people yelling "HELLO" before Anton can react to the last person. She's also pretty protective of her "older brother" as she will growl at anyone who gets to close without her permission. Shes also not afraid to tear someone up if need be. That dosn't mean shes a good fighter though. Cairo does have plenty of knowledge on how to help drive large animals such as deer and moose, even being able to go toe to toe with some of the wolfs that are common in the forest around Dariens Steps.

-Even though he lived in Zeventus for most of his life he didn't really have a chance to truly envelope the culture and dresses differently than if he would of been. Anton is also not very fond of the newer technology as well, usually why he has failed to update his musket to a more practical lever action rifles that have been around for a while. The only recent weapon he has acquired is the semi-automatic pistol which was something that Cairo had to convince him to get after they had a rather close encounter with a bear.

-No one exactally knows what what the things are under Antons eyes. Even Cairo has no idea what they are. She belives they could be tattoos or even makeup he wears to keep the sun out of his eyes.
