Anto Singh Feagh, known by his given name Anto or his ''nom de guerre'' "Whip" (so-called for his stature | Anto Singh Feagh, known by his given name Anto or his ''nom de guerre'' "Whip" (so-called for his stature and not, say, a tool preference), is a late-20's man originally from a mining town in [[Celestia]]. He currently lives in [[Wydmoor]], trading as a bondsman and bounty hunter who specializes in tracking down arcane magic users. Rare as those may be, his work tends to come in semi-lucrative spurts punctuating long lulls spent studying the arcane, performing odd jobs, and drinking. He's still very close with his family, who have since migrated to one of the farming hamlets that supply Wydmoor, although his work sees him away from them for extended periods at a time. | ||

[[Garen]] and [[Tilde]] both worked the mines. They liked to say that they met when they both reached for the same pickaxe, which might even be true. Whatever the circumstances, Tilde was pregnant and married shortly after, in that order. Their first was [[Illed]], and [[Anto]] the second, and he came with a complication that left the family with no more offspring. Luckily, both children grew up healthy and free of calamity, and while they might have been a bit more short-handed around the house than they'd like, they were all the closer for it. | [[Garen]] and [[Tilde]] both worked the [[Odessa|Odessan]] [[red iron]] mines.

The levies came when Anto was eleven, just old enough to start an apprenticeship with a blacksmith. Tilde and Illed were both called up, leaving Garen to manage the homestead. Anto was more than a little bit jealous of his big sister, and she promised she'd come back with hard-won trophies and outrageous stories enough to satisfy him for years. Garen and Tilde kept a much more serious demeanor, but then, they were both old enough to have known war. | The levies came when Anto was eleven, just old enough to start an apprenticeship with a blacksmith.

Anto now does his own work in | Anto now does his own work in Wydmoor, under the name "Whip", using what he learned from the adventurer to earn a decent living. With support from his and Illed's earnings (the latter working as a guard), and by supplementing with the occasional odd job, they live comfortably, and the family shares a close relationship despite Anto's extended absences. His parents are still in reasonable health, but his sister has developed a cough that, recently, has begun to produce blood. Anto hopes his family can find a cure for her, before it is too late, but personally feels frustrated that his personal expertise takes him too far out of that realm to contribute directly. He also feels his abilities have plateaued, and has been constantly on the lookout for a job that might really test his mettle. | ||
[ | Bounty hunting is a small world, so it was inevitable that he and [[Joana Graner|Joana]]would bump into each other. They've competed occasionally, worked together occasionally, and generally have a warm professional relationship, although not an incredibly close one. Secretly, Anto has always been jealous of the magical talent he has never fully realized seeming to just come naturally to her. He recognizes her obvious worth when they find themselves working together, and respects her ability to hold her liquor, as well. | ||
What free time Anto doesn't spend in the tavern or with his family, he spends at the [[Circus Librorum]], a fixture of learning in the town. He makes his study of the arcane there, and knows his way around the stacks, but knows he can't hold a candle to its founders for generalized knowledge. He respects their attitude toward their work, although he personally finds their zeal toward the mission to be a bit much. | |||
