History
His story till now: The final child of Peter Ivanov Veranin, leader of the Vitosha province, Anton was destined for priesthood. His sisters were getting married, his eldest brother was preparing for leadership, his second brother was off, his third training to be a soldier, and the custom was to have the fourth son learn the ways of God. When he was ten, Olag, his eldest brother died, and Kiril the second was sent back from the empire, replacing the third son. Anton did not mind. His brothers didn't matter nearly as much as the true lord did, and even when Kiril tried to connect with him, he was rebuffed. Anton Petrov Veranin was not meant for human socialization, he was meant to save men from themselves.
When he was sent off to become a priest, much of his family cheered, but Anton did not mind. They were instruments for Christ to test him and his mettle, and he thanked them for it, as Joseph did for his brothers.
Anton's determination and intillect were beyond reasonable for a person of his age, and his zeal forced him to over extend his mind to absord as much wisdom as he could. Anton's zealous nature as a young child, and his hard work displayed to the priests that he was not suited as a pastor, but rather as a true servant, and they sent him off to a survivor of the previous crusade, who took Anton's hand and showed him what being a servant of Christ meant.
The Crusader quickly taught Anton what he needed to know about his Lord and Savior, and taught him his ways. He found a natural tendecy for horsemanship, and struggled to learn the art of sword combat. This was Anton's life, a knight for Christ. While he never participated in true crusades, he fought against brigands, pagans, and sometimes Jews, trying to reveal to them the glory of Christ. After a few years, Anton had heard that his family was holding a wedding of his sister's daughter. To him, this was his chance to return, and show them all that the truth of christ, but fate had different plans.
There, he was confronted by a western man named Basilio. The man had taken an interest in Anton, and wished to discuss the gospels with the priest. There was more to the meeting then just that, however, and Anton was swiftly embraced by Basilio, along with his brother Kiril.
When Anton awoke from the embrace, and his sire explained what happened, Anton cried from anguish. It could not be, that he, a holy warrior for christ, could become a being cursed by God! However, a light shone in the darkness, so too speak, as the young lasombra cast a reflection, as opposed to the regular clan. Anton took this to be a blessing, a sign from God that he was not abandoned. But even this was a lie, for after a few weeks, his reflection began to deteriorate, as it's flesh began to rot.
Feeling himself abandoned by his lord, Anton was a bitter worthless childer. His only solace was in learning and absorbing knowledge, and when learning, his sobbing and depression left him. His sire, annoyed by this fit of hopelessness, brought the new to an abyss mystic in an attempt to teach him of the truth, and to give him some form of reason. The mystic gazed at the young lasombra, and introduced him to the abyss, pushing him deep Into the Chasm. Anton was tortured for the hour spent inside, seeing shadows that should not exist, and dizzying shapes. In desperation, he called out to shadows to return him home. Upon returning to his sire's palace-thang from shadows, the shadows all began to rattle in his view, and his sire instantly recognized it as the sign of the Harbringer. Anton had been chosen by the abyss.
With this revalation, Anton understood his true purpose. He was a servant of God when he was mortal, and even now, he was still a servant of the true lord. As a creature of the abyss, Anton must now act for God. His role is the same as it was as a mortal, to bring others to God, even if he himself is damned. And with this new understanding, his absolute hopelessness left him, and he had a goal, and a dream. He would become a monster to make his mortals return to the good life, and the Lord would be happy.
His sire granted him his horse after leaving his depression, named Fantoma, gladdened that his embrace was not for waste.
Goals/Destiny: Anton is a fanatic, and truly believes in his path. Many of the lasombra have foolishly clung to a sham, still believing themselves not damned. But he know better, he knows of his kind's true nature, and he understands their role. But a single man can not accomplish anything by himself, no matter how strong wield. For this reason, Anton considers it his goal to achieve recognition in the clan, and establish a subset of Lasombra focused on redeeming the mortals through the abyss. By achieving that, he would be able to do the most good, he would be able to raise hundreds of redeemers, and manipulate the clan into serving his ideals. It's a lofty goal, but Anton has the ambition found in most Lasombra, and it will not be quenched.
Why he is willing to join the cotterie (besides sire's request): Anton has been busy redeeming the beings in Sofia, but that was with his sire's protection and guidance. Now, he is sent off to spread the good word through pain and torment, and there is nothing greater then that.

Physical description:
In life, Anton was a golden knight, but in death, Anton lives on as a ashen knight, redeeming mortals through pain. His body is covered with a pale cloak, stained red from the blood of those he redeemed. Generally, he's seen with almost tangible darkness at his feet, and any light near him flicker. His gaze is unending, and a cold breeze follows him wherever he goes. He walks with an air of humility, though, knowing that he is just a servant of the Lord.
