Social Status: Britannian Noble/Marquess
Appearance:
Personality: Conniving, and scheming come naturally to Anton who grew up, and was taught by his father to be as cunning as possible in order to make his goals meet. With no ideals of honor, or respect forcing him down he only projects a kind, civility when he needs to, otherwise he is usually coldly indifferent to those who are his enemies. To his allies he excludes a aura of confidence, and respects them as best as he can given his normal attitude. He is not afraid to smile, or fake emotions nor play dirty whatever the situation is Anton is easily one of the harder nobles to fight due to this. Though he can try to be charismatic at times he can often come off as dogmatic, and overtly cruel. He has no interest in the old system of dealing with the 'number' countries they have conquered as slaves. But he doesn't care about them in specific either. He treats everyone as their station demands it be them 'eleven', or Britannian. Respect breeds respect, and acts speed louder than pretty words in Anton's eyes. Anton views politics as overtly annoying but a necessary evil that needs to be seen to, and deals with them as he has to not actively aiming to get into them unless necessary preferring a more brute force tactic, or a single underhanded power play. He views those who swear loyalty to him as his closest subordinates, and trusts them more than most however he always is keenly aware of traitors in his midst. He doesn't like being a pilot but he has learnt the skills to handle them well enough to the point where he is able to contend with above average pilots to an extent. With KF's being the main form of combat he views them as a means to an end more than a passion.
Biography/History: Born into a highly rich family there was little Anton wished for, and he would later become the head of six siblings his younger brother proceeding him coming only two years after him. Anton was taken care of by his retired grand father as a young child while his father, and mother played politics in Pendragon. He wanted for little, and was often curious by nature as a young baby. His grandfather Abanoth Lothberg was well respected for his policies in expanding the heartland of Britannia. Their estate being located near Sea's Peak which their long since past ancestor help found which led to their Ascension to nobility in the first place. As he grew older his grand father taught him right, and wrong and how things worked in the world. He also gave him a distaste for liquor, and wines viewing the vice of smoking, and drinking as mistakes emboldening young Anton a sense of self-improvement. Though he grew up striving to be a good person like his grand father wanted to his father on his returns home taught him more. A sense of place in the Britannian's sphere, and their family's yearning for more. The rank at the time was a mere earl at the time Anton was a child. His father's dream was to make his family greater. Come what may Anton decided he wanted more for his clan as well.
His father Conway Lothberg eventually decided to take him to Pendragon, and that is where he met Prince Kyle as a young boy. Prince Kyle became a friend, as well as some of the other royal siblings as the group had little else to work with other than the royal aides who treated them as their station demanded it. It is Prince Kyle who initially showed Anton the annoyance of defeat. As he learned his place in the world Anton became more clever, slowly but surely he eventually beat Prince Kyle in checkers, which Anton preferred over chess, much to his pleasure however he was still unable to routinely defeat him. As he grew older he took his time in military school serving Britannia as a officer on the west coast. In his teenage years he grew a taste of humility after being shown up by some lower ranked families, and low borns.
When Britannia invaded Japan for the sakuradite resources, and to secure their coastal islands off the side of the Chinese Federation's mainland Anton joined the fight as a commander of the second wave of troops. His group was made of young noblemen, and some other units. While they did not participate in the initial knightmare frame screenings Anton's young age of 17 hardly put a dent in his ability as a commander. He ruthlessly managed to overwhelm the enemy forces by use of air tactics, and blitzes backed by the more experienced generals he made a name for himself as a competent enough soldier. He quickly found himself placed in the reserves however once his father interjected limiting their chances at more combat. However once it was over he had found himself placed as a manager of resources for the Britannian occupational forces in his area. He spent the next few years in Japan assisting in setting up the framework at the behest of his father.
It was here in Japan that he happened across a young girl living in the gutter of the ghetto after walking back to his camp with a his bodyguard Lewis. The girl was cold, and clearly homeless, as well as a few years younger than him. Being harassed by an older Japanese, now called eleven, man he quickly pulled out a gun, and shot the man killing him despite warnings from Lewis. He offered the young girl a hand, and despite her clear fear of him he spoke gently, and gave a smile. Something his grand father told him to do when speaking to others who were frightened. And he took her home with him despite not speaking too much Japanese he managed to get out of her that her name was Kyou.
Anton would soon after be sent back to Britannia, and he would take Kyou with him as a servant. His father was not to thrilled about it bordering disgust but his grand father overrode him on the matter, and said Anton would do as he would. Kyou would spend sometime in school learning Britannian's culture, and the language while Anton would take matters into his own hands, and began taking his chance at knightmare frame piloting. He only learnt what he needed to however, and resigned from active service shortly afterward taking up politics in his family's estate. As years passed Anton became a respected noble with political skills, and military service underneath his belt. Kyou learnt well, and became a knightmare pilot eventually his own knight alongside Lewis who had joined him at his offer shortly after his military service ended. Kyou became his knight, and aide in order to defend him which greatly pleased young Anton who now waits as his father suffered from an accident and has transferred the head of the household title onto his son Anton. As a member of the noble faction Anton has much to gain now.
