Antheron was a member of the original group of Casadians to arrive in Old Hermertia. He served as then Guardian Pylos' most trusted adviser during Casadia's early years. While he and Pylos held each other in high esteem, they were known to clash ideologically with regards to the role of the Casadian colony. Pylos believed that Casadia should remain isolated and develop its strength from within, whereas Antheron believed that Casadia should be open and seek prosperity through international trade and diplomacy. When Pylos was summoned west by the Altheri, Antheron assumed the role of Guardian. Casadia prospered under his leadership, becoming a prominent member of the Slayer's Guild and coming within a few votes of realm status before the events of the Unraveling plunged the Empire into chaos. Antheron was one of the few witnesses of the controversial trial of freelords at the Imperial Project. Feeling betrayed by the Council, Antheron returned to Casadia to prepare for war. Ultimately realizing that civil war would destabilize the Empire, Antheron chose instead to march west with an army of Slayers and Casadians in order to find and reinforce the absent Altheri. Antheron never returned from the west, but his sword was found in the possession of Vikhon more than fifty years later. Many believe that it was Antheron who sent Vikhon back to Casadia, though the exact circumstances of Vikhon's arrival still remain a mystery.
