Character
General
Young, brash and openly xenophobic among his fellows in Ishgard, this young Elezen is a man fighting a war against himself. Anthony is kind-hearted, friendly and secretly chafing against the rigidness associated with the Orthodox Church of Ishgard. When he's outside of the Holy See, Anthony tends to be far more open and outgoing, as he wishes he could be in Ishgard.
This internal conflict has driven the younger man towards arrogance, hedonism and relatively small abuses of his power - at least while in the Holy See. He knows the limits of his power and exactly what he can get away with.
As of late, the young man has been considering rebuilding the family business - arms dealing. House Valron's company, Halone's Spear, was once well known as a quality provider of a variety of weapons and military devices.
Appearance
Ser Anthony de Valron is the only surviving offspring of an Elezen Lord of Ishgard. He is baseborn, but was granted his father's lands and titles, as the only surviving Valron. His face in general is reminiscent of his mother's, but it has the sharp edge of his father's noble heritage. His mother was half-hyuran, a maidservant in his Lord-Father's service. He is a bastard and 1/4th hyur.
His armor is well-kept, perfectly shined and his weapon is just as refined. Always sharp, oiled and ready to be used.
Personality
In public, when on duty, Anthony is always perfectly mannerful, careful to be subservient to those above him and follow protocol to the full extent.
One on one, Anthony is very flirtatious. He rarely goes home alone.
Combat
General
Anthony fights with the strength, passion and skill of a Knight of Ishgard. He favors a bastard sword, forged with titanium alloy. He does not often use a shield, which allows him a more aggressive style of swordsmanship - however, situationally, the Knight will use one, mainly when fighting Lancers/Dragoons or Bards/Archers. Many of his enemies have overextended themselves because they viewed him as an easy target, only to have limbs cleaved from their bodies due to his quick strikes.
