Ranking: Anti Hero

Basic Details
Age: 74
Species: Human
Physical Appearance: Despite standing at only 5' 2" Anton's build manages to be intimidating, composed almost entirely of muscle, skin and bone and weighing in at 168 pounds. After having seen an incredible amount of travelling as a career soldier over the course of his lifetime his skin has become heavily weathered and pockmarked, with the same complexion as someone with a heavy tan. His hair, buzzcut in keeping with the military lifestyle, has gone silver from age to contrast with his dark brown eyes.
Personality: Despite the hard toll that the long years and almost constant work have had on the man along with a rather heavy helping of guilt, Anton manages to come off as a relatively aloof, fairly tolerant individual, his personality seeming more befitting of an enlisted man than of an officer - a fact that his record attests to, with several counts of disorderly conduct during the first few years of his career. Easy to speak to and very open minded, he is not the kind of man that many people would think of as once being an ONI attack dog. Ruthless in both strategy and tactics, the only people he truly cares for beyond his family and those under his immediate command are those who he has been ordered to either protect or otherwise deal with.

Powers & Abilities
ODST: A group composed of veterans that have already achieved excellence in both standard duties as well as having already served as members of another branch of the UNSC special forces, the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers are an all volunteer unit made up of both the best and craziest the human race had to offer as of the 2160s onwards. While each soldier tends to specialize in at least one specific field, every member of the branch is expected to be able to adapt to and perform the duties of another member on the spot in the event of WIAs, MIAs or KIAs. Each and every trooper is lethal on their own, and it is widely accepted that a single ODST is an even match for an entire platoon's worth of Marine regulars.
Sniper/Marksman: Anton has demonstrated considerable skill as a rifleman, and has attained the highest accuracy ratings possible on the vast majority of the UNSC's armory. As such he is the designated marksman and sniper of his squad.
The Veteran: While all ODSTs are veterans in some shape or form, Anton puts the service records of nearly all of his fellow servicemen to shame - having been enlisted in the UNSC since he turned eighteen, the man has seen countless actions against bother the Insurrection and then later the Covenant, having survived both conflicts virtually from start to finish and having participated in many of their most brutal battles and campaigns, and as a result of his vast experience Anton has developed a natural feel for battle and warfare.

Weaknesses
Psychological Flaws...
None
Physical Flaws...
Getting Old: While still very much an exemplary ODST, Anton is getting on in his years and he knows it - despite still being quite strong and fast he doesn't heal the way he used to, and his reaction speed is a hair slower than it used to be.
Human: Even with all of his experience and equipment he is still human, and nothing can change that fact.
Other Flaws...
BLAH BLAH BLAH

History....
Born on the human colony world of Reach in 2478, Anton lived a relatively normal life growing up - nothing he did was particularly outstanding save for just above average test scores, and upon turning eighteen Anton enlisted in the UNSC Marine Corps immediately following the defeat of the Eridanus Insurrection cells in 2496.
Following his initial enlistment Anton would see several years of garrison duty throughout many of the UNSC's Inner and Outer Colonies, during that time participating in nearly as many skirmishes involving the Insurrection and earning enough commendations to offset his numerous counts of disorderly conduct. It isn't until 2510 that Anton begins to get his act together, with no further incidents involving him reported beyond that point - eventually Anton requests a transfer to the UNSC special forces in 2514. In 2515 he is transferred to ONI's Section III, and serves as a member of several "black ops" targeted at covertly destroying Insurrection bomber and sabotage cells for the next two years. During this time he earns additional commendations for valor in action as well as three seperate Purple Hearts before being transferred again in 2516 alongside several other special forces operatives in preparation for the next phase of Project ORION - from 2517 onwards Anton would spend the next eight years on Reach as a trainer in the SPARTAN-II program serving under Franklin Mendez.
Following the UNSC being put on full alert on November 1st of that same year due to the Covenant's actions at Harvest, Anton applied to join the elite 105th Shock Trooper Division, more commonly known as the ODSTs or "Helljumpers", spending the next two months in training and testing before finally being granted admittance into the branch and receiving the promotion from Corporal to Lance Corporal. From this point onwards Anton would see heavy action against the Covenant, first facing them in the evacuation of Bliss in 2526 before facing them again on Harvest as part of Admiral Preston Cole's six year campaign to retake the planet - during this time he would be promoted yet again several more times, reaching the rank of Master Sergeant by the time of the campaign's end in 2531.
Anton would continue to serve as part of the ODST complement assigned to Preston Cole's fleet for several years, engaging in numerous ground conflicts with the Covenant during that time before being transferred yet again in 2543 at the request of his CO alongside dozens of other transfers, earning his first command of the Leviathan's ODST forces as well as a promotion to 2nd Lieutenant. During the next several years Anton would partake in several more conflicts, most notably the glassings of Sargasso in 2546, Skopje in 2547, Verant in 2548, Paris IV and the Second Battle of Arcadia in 2549. A brief respite from the Covenant advance would take place over the year of 2550 and 2551, followed by an immediate resurgence in activity in 2552. During the final year of the war Anton would participate in the defense and liberation of Sigma Octanis IV from the Covenant, as well as the Battle of Viery on his homeworld of Reach in August of that year.
Later that same month Anton would take command of several ODST squads with the task of evacuating the city of New Alexandria, holding back a Covenant seige for over a week despite being heavily outgunned and outnumbered with relatively few casualties among his own forces before being ordered to assist ECHO Team and Sierra 291 in the evacuation of the Olympic Tower as well as the recovery of the facility's more sensitive materials to the UNSC Basilisk - upon completion of that objective he and his squads were ordered to accompany the assets back to Earth.
