He was skilled with a blade and was a journeyman blacksmith. He always tried to be a devout servant of Ornus, though was often jealous of others for their greater adherence, namely Sangar the Maimed.
Later in life he married Natassia Cloos and helped expand her krinfyra stables into a prestigious ranch. Anton's son is Leonid Antonov.

Prophecy of the Zolmir Grave
Aldaen Zolmir discovered a secret area in the Southern Caves, a remnant of a time during the reign of the Draconians and their kobold servants. In these ruins, Aldaen spent his time and began building a shrine to his family. He died before it was completed, but Antoni, Bors and Sigurt continued with the completion.
This site they named the Zolmir Grave and buried Aldaen here. They also found several other areas including ancient texts that describe a coming darkness in their land.
The texts were translated by a woman named Bianca who was, in secret, a gold dragon who could read the words. She then vowed to stop the darkness, in spite of a reference of a "Firebringer" who will come to cleanse the land. Bianca founded the Order of the Firebringer.
Search for the Firebringer
Antoni decided to search the world for this man and asked the other to come with him. They, however, were all feeling the curse of King Koschey and could not come, but entrusted their children with him so they may bypass any trouble
