==Profile==
Anton is a member of the Ninth Company, originally sent to the Chasm to help deal with a mysterious black sludge in a joint agreement with the Liyue Qixing to combat the darkness underneath. The mission failed as the device the Fatui used exploded and failed to purify anything. This resulted in the company shattering, with men going missing or dying and Anton was forced to assume command of some soldiers — Danila, Radomir, Temur and Romanski, the latter eventually dying.
The Traveler, sent to investigate hilichurl activity in the Chasm, found Anton and his remaining men. Anton begged for food which the Traveler gave them, only for another group to arrive and attack for it. The Traveler drove the unwelcome Fatui away. Anton then explained that all of the Fatui were provisioned from a supply line and asked them to check on his behalf, as the men he had sent never returned. After searching the premises, they found a note from Yanbo that explained that the Fatui were no longer welcome in Liyue due to Childe unleashing Osial on its people and brought it to Anton and his men. The four soldiers were surprised by the turn of events outside but accepted the outcome nonetheless. Anton then thanked and rewarded the Traveler, allowing them to ask a few questions before he and the others made a break to the surface.
