Archived-Anthony Desmond
Personal Information
Appearance
Reasonably tall, Anthony's most prominent features are short, close cropped hair, a perpetually broken nose, nondescript clothes that suit the environment - and the wide berth most of the court gives the unaligned enforcer.
Personality
Bottle it all up. Don't let people see anything more than your contempt for their political games. Find someone weaker than you. Pick your time. Assert dominance. Revel in the fear others have of you.
And like a man in a leaking boat bailing out water with a bucket, try desperately not to drown amongst the misery you seem to be perpetually surrounded by.

Timeline
- November 1970 - Anthony attracts the embrace courtesy of Aksel Vinter
- December 31 1970 - The Beatles break up. Whilst the mortal world is preoccupied with this news story, Anthony and Aksel depart London for the colonies, eventually arriving (and remaining) in Sydney.
- 1976 - Anthony acts as the executioner, carrying out the verdict of the court and ending the unlife of the former Governor.
He subsequently takes on the role of scourge, mostly in exchange for the court continuing to tolerate the presence of one with no loyalty to any covenant.
The lack of political ties eventually proves to be a minor blessing, allowing him to act without regard to conflicting loyalties.
Whether it makes up for his continuing isolation remains debatable.
Recent History
2013
- JUN - Killed the Seneschal for attempting to assassinate the Governor. Forgot the dress code, and wore a white and a black tie on each hand just in case.
- JUL - Skulked about. Kept people from approaching the Governor with every trivial matter.
- AUG - Hosts a party. Doesn't put his foot in his mouth. A good time was had by all.
- SEP - Went and helped kill some spider demon, then helped to bring down an assassin sent by Estera. Remains bemused that the task of law enforcement in the city is now the responsibility of the Unaligned....

- "You lot make survival a dirty word. Kill when you need to - according to the rules. But not so frequently that you get put down like a rabid dog. If you need to kill, attack without mercy. Don't get caught up in dumb ideas about honour. Predators kill without fairness or mercy - but only when they need to."

Conversations
Rumours
- Was a member of a particularly notorious English gang prior to his embrace.
- Or maybe he was just a bouncer.
- Who cares? He's been a bagman for two Governors in a row now. Someone who enjoys violence that much isn't fit to have in polite company.
- He's unaligned scum. Why are you even discussing him like he's a person?
- Unaligned why exactly - because he doesn't care for politics, or because the covenants in Sydney are leery of having a potentially unstable murderer in their ranks?
- He's a long way from the rest of his family....that can't be healthy for his sanity if he doesn't have anyone he truly trusts nearby....
- Boorish cur, with seemingly no political ambition - either that or a highly developed survival instinct.
Inspirations and Soundtrack
"Repeating questions to make some sense,
fragile words could offer great defence against myself and the creature inside,
it's taking me over again
this evil inside me, the cause of my fall is giving nothing and taking all failure in re-creation of heaven
and it was all along right before my eyes
already in hell, no reason to die by means of violence I sacrifice my own flesh and blood again for them
this evil inside me, the cause of my fall is giving nothing and taking all failure in re-creation of heaven"
- Before the Dawn, Heaven (album - 4:17am)
"I am the god, the chaos and destruction
Behold the powers of my wrath
I am the sword
The burning blade of vengeance
Your blood in my hands
As I embrace the black fire of the end
Ashes rain upon me when heaven is in flames
I am the bringer of your damnation
The judge and deliverance in one
If I say there shall be darkness
All light will die
I rule the world without a sun
With sorrow I behold the demise
The ruins of empyrium
With sorrow I behold, it was fortold
When angels fall, we have seen the last dawn"
"I follow
I walk the trail
Of my shadow
It walks ahead
Leading away
From the light
Darkness walks beside me"
- Black Sun Aeon, 'A song for my wrath', and 'a song for my funeral' (the latter is seriously the best song on the album 'darkness walks beside me')
