Antony

Antony is a houndmaster for Caesar's Legion living at the Fort in 2281.

Background
Antony is a former member of the Hangdogs, a tribe hailing from Denver, Colorado known for their reverence for dogs as Hangdog spirit animals. Before Lanius put the hounds of the tribe to the torch and assimilated the tribe, he was an ardent worshiper of the Denver hounds. When the Legion broke him and the rest of his tribesmen, he repressed the painful memories and put his talents to work as houndmaster. A lifetime of working with canines certainly bore fruit, as his are some of the finest war dogs in the Legion.

Even if the Hangdogs have been wiped from history, Antony's mongrels are his life; he thinks very highly of their ability and finds them worthy of the utmost respect. Lupa, the mother of many of the Legion's best hounds, is one of Antony's favorite bitches, and would go to lengths to have her be made immortal, such as having her brain implanted in a cyberdog.

Quests

 * Nothin' But a Hound Dog: After fighting and defeating his dog, Lupa, in the arena, the Courier can take her brain to implant into Rex.
 * Saving (or Savaging) Sergeant Teddy: The Courier must defeat four of Antony's Legion mongrels (two with a Barter check of 50) to get back Melody's bear. Fighting can be avoided if the player character has the Animal Friend perk or has an "Accepted" reputation with the Legion.

Appearances
Antony appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes

 * In the Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide, his name is misspelled as "Anthony."


 * His name is likely a reference to the real-world Mark Antony, Julius Caesar's right-hand man and an eventual avenger of his assassination. Historically, Antony was Caesar's Master of the Horse, or primary lieutenant, during Caesar's dictatorship in Rome. After this, he fought against Octavian for the throne in Rome. The in-game character refers to himself as a master of the hounds.
