Personality:
Usually mistaken as unresponsive, but always pays attention to what is appening around him. Has a great sense of humor, but shouldn't be mistaken as a weakness, as he is harder than most Gaidin/ar around. His emotions tend to get the better of him, but Antin doesnt allow himself to act impulsively, he always tends to thinks things out before acting. Antin is polite, but firm and always tends to stay away from making friends, since he has yet to see one last.


History:
When Antin was young, it was clear he wasn't like the other boys in Illian. He always aimed for the top mark in everything he did. When just a boy, he already knew particular skills that most teenagers and adults knew. This included Archery, Sword fighting (Which Antin was known for about Illian) and leadership skills. Antin's father-Fazareth- was a Captain in the Illian army, thus a very strict and not easy-going father, leading up to how Antin is today. On the other hand, Antin's mother-Sarah, was very light-hearted and was an amazing archer, two traits that weren't brought together often. From her, Antin got his sense of humor and his tendency to act on feelings. At only 15, Antin's parents were killed in a fire that was put out only after the house was totally destroyed, all but a sword, later discovered to be cuendillar, and a heron-marked sword that was in the possesion of his father. For some months, Antin lived in the country-side with a friend of his, an orphan from a young age. But they constantly had their disputes, eventually leading to Antin returning to Illian to make a living. Antin worked as a blacksmith for two years, not enough time to learn the trade very well, but enough to gain a new appreciation for the weapons he helped make.

Antin was discovered by a visiting Aes Sedai and Gaidin (later to be found out as the Captain of the Guard of that time), instantly the Gaidin picked him up and began teaching him the sword again, as Antin hadn't so much as picked one up since the fire. For some weeks, the Gaidin took young Antin as his sort of apprentice, but when the time came for them to leave, Antin wished to join them. The Aes Sedai disapproved, but due to the fact that the Gaidin had taken to Antin very fondly, the Gaidin gave Antin some money to travel to Tar Valon on his own.

Antin arrived at Tar Valon almost a month later, and was quickly found by that Gaidin, he graciously took Antin on as his Mentor. Antin was quickly was brought up to par in all of his skills, which evidently were exceeding even some of the Soldiers. As time passed-3 years to be exact. Antin was brought up to become a Soldier, which he agreed to without a moments thought. As a Soldier, Antins leadership skills were harnesed to the extreme, Antin looked to be a promising canditate to become a Gaidin. At the age of 25, this dream came to be. Antin became a leading Gaidin, one that everybody looked up to. After a time, Antin's former mentor had grown old, approaching the age of 50. So he enevitably stood down, and appointed Antin as the new Captain of the Guard. Many Gaidin had already thought of him as such, but of course respecting the actual Captain of the Guard as such.

For nearly 4 years, Antin has been the Captain of the Guard, bonded to Ilyana, whom he has fought many battles side-by-side with, and spent the better part of his time at the tower with, somehow, Ilyana-the keeper, has kept her hold over him for all this time, Antin has never been happier with her, only wishing she would be with him forever, keeping him in line, and visa-versa.
