Anton has always been a musician, but he has not always been a sorcerer. He first encountered the preternatural when he was 16, by killing his former guitar teacher and catching the man's blood in a bowl he'd found under the floorboards.

Now he could play and sing with the best of them. At the same time, he had become a willing servant of Nyarlathotep, and gladly accepted the price for his new talent: a blood sacrifice every four weeks.

Seven years later, when he was 23, Anton's band Charnel Dreams was invited to play at the infamous Club Apocalypse. Afterwards Anton was met by Robert Hubert, who owned the club. Robert promptly became the band's manager and Anton himself was made a member of the Network. Upon joining he was made the Lord of Sleep, and became the Fate's assassin, killing those who needed to be gotten rid of. It's a job he greatly enjoys.


Personality/Motivation:

Anton doesn't want much in life... just to be a favored servant of Nyarlathotep. He also likes playing at Club Apocalypse and working for the Fate, and that's about the extent of his ambitions. Having killed a person a month foe the last 10 years means he's committed over 120 murders, a fact that doesn't disturb him much. In fact, he almost enjoys killing, and looks forward to the next murder with some eagerness. He, like virtually all Call of Cthulhu sorcerers, has parted with his sanity a long time ago.


Powers/Tactics:

Anton does all his killing with spells. He prefers to use Summoned beings, and will call up Dimension Shamblers and Fire Vampires to do the deed it at all possible. If not, he will use the Clutch of Nyogtha to rip out his foe's heart. He will use other spells as the situation warrants or to gain entry into a secured location in order to kill his target.


Appearance:

Anton stands 5'8" with a slightly stocky build. He has long dark blond hair, an earring, and normally wears jeans and a T-shirt.
