Anthony is the newest addition to the 2100X Bloodline and second childe of Amicia de Lacroix. As a student at the local university, he'd been part of a group of friends that enjoyed ghost hunting and exploring old abandoned places. Anthony himself was a skeptic, but hoped to find evidence that would change his outlook. However, one night they found themselves set upon by an unknown stalker while exploring Seattle's underground. One by one, the students were picked off and dragged away into the dark until he found himself alone and lost in the concrete maze.

Soon enough, he came face to face with none other than Madame de Lacroix. Perplexed but relieved to see another human face, Anthony asked if she had seen his friends. Instead of answering him, she promptly struck him around the head with a shovel and dragged him off to where she'd left the rest of his friends.

When he stirred, it was in a shallow grave. Mad with hunger, he clawed his way out of the ground only to be beset by a maddening hunger and his former friends, all as crazed as he was. The starved and frenzied Fledglings cut a swathe through each other until only Anthony remained. Only after he had gorged himself on their blood did he regain his lucidity and realise what he had done. He had little time to process it before Madame de Lacroix emerged from the shadows and congratulated him for his success. He had earned the right to live.

Anthony's role in Amicia's operation has yet to be determined. He is an investigator at heart and is handy at combing the books for inconsistencies, but isn't skilled in actual accounting. His combat skills are unrefined, and lacking compared to his sister, and he tends to be far too amiable to operate as a spy.

Nonetheless, Amicia believes he survived through more than dumb luck and that his skills simply need to find their focus.

His feeding style comes from his experience with the Embrace. Having fed on his fellow Fledglings, mortal blood is somewhat lacking in comparison. Amicia has succeeded in procuring him a sustainable blood supply through her connections in Seattle. Namely the Baron; he had needed to keep a Kindred imprisoned but alive, and has entrusted their imprisonment to Amicia. Initially she planned to lock them in their own mind, but now allows Anthony to feed on them to keep them weakened instead.

Occasionally he extracts blood from other Kindred as a form of payment for his services rendered, but for now, his sire's prisoner has kept him sated.

Anthony inherited Animalism from Amicia, and with it he was able to keep his pet Bloodhound as his companion and partner. He is also more proficient in Oblivion than his sister, Emily, but more prone to glitches than she is. While less severe than that of a typical Lasombra, it has further added to the debate of the pros and cons of the 2100X bloodline.
