Tristan St. Anthony

Tristan St. Anthony is a member of the Order of St. George and Garret Xavier Sebastian's former partner. As of the end of Legion, he was left unconscious in an infirmary bed, injured by a vessel during the attack by Talon

## History

Tristan likely joined the Order's Academy at twelve years old and trained to fight dragons. He graduated before the age of eighteen and began to quickly climb the ranks in the Western Chapter house before his partner was killed by a dragon.

Tristan had to wait for three months before he was given a new partner, Garret Xavier Sebastian. They didn't take kindly to each other at first until Garret killed his first dragon— one that would have killed Tristan without his aid.

Due to his fear of dragons, Tristan trained as a sniper for the Order rather than a foot soldier, and after three years became an expert marksman.

## Finding the Sleeper

Garret and Tristan were assigned on a reconnaissance mission to find a sleeper— a hatchling learning to assimilate with humans. Throughout this mission, he began to realize his partner was beginning to become attached to the potential mark, Ember Hill. Hoping that it wouldn't compromise the mission, he ignored it until the time came to attack a nest of dragons that had appeared in the city— this nest held Ember, Cobalt, Nettle, and Remy.

After the raid failed, Tristan and Garret went to pursue Ember. They found her fighting Lilith with Riley. Tristan took this opportunity to attempt to snipe either Cobalt or Ember, only to be stopped by Garret. After a brief argument, Garret knocked him out. Tristan retaliated by testifying against Garret in The Order's court and accusing him of treason, which nearly got Garret killed.

## Road to Redemption

While attempting to reveal the conspiracy of The Patriarch working hand in hand with Talon, Riley, Ember, Wes, and Garret realized that they needed someone on the inside of The Order. Because of this, Garret called Tristan. Tristan agreed to meet, and then later agreed to cut the ties between the two organizations.

He devised the plan to expose the Patriarch by smuggling Garret into an assembly where he would be present. There, Garret accused the Patriarch of treason and provided evidence to back up his claims. Tristan defended Garret's claims and defended him from potential attack. The Patriarch, rather than try to defeat the evidence against him with logic, called on Trial by Combat. He chose Gabriel Martin, Tristan, and an unnamed man as seconds. This ended up to be a bad decision, as when the Patriarch pulled a gun on Garret, Tristan shot him five times in the back. He then aided Riley and Ember in saving Garret's life, although he then returned to The Order.

Tristan later confessed to allying with dragons and a traitor in order to conspire against the Patriarch, but because the Order had been thrown into disarray, he wasn't given a trial and therefore not accused of treason. He and Garret later managed to reconcile when Garret warned the Order about the Night of Fang and Fire. This reunion was cut short, however, when Talon's Vessels began to attack. Near the beginning of the battle, one rammed into the Chapel Tower where Tristan was located, rendering him unconscious and nearly dead. Surviving soldiers managed to find him in the wreckage after the fight and get him to the infirmary, where he was in an unstable condition by the end of Legion.
