Lord Anton ir'Demell

Lord Anton ir'Demell (/'æntɑːn ʌrdə'mɛːl/) is a priest of Dol Dorn and serves as the Speaker of the New Cyre Council of the Sovereign Host. He also serves as Crown Prince Oargev ir'Wynarn's Chief Military Strategist.

The son of the Lord Mayor of Sharn Cathan ir'Demell, Lord Anton fought for Breland in the Last War, but after his younger sister Tamara, who was married to Oargev, died in the Mourning, he pledged allegiance to Cyre and its Crown Prince, hoping to find out the truth about the Mourning and avenge his sister's murder.

Lord Anton firmly believes any action to publicly restore the Kingdom of Cyre would cause the war to immediately reignite, destroying any chance of successfully investigating the causes of the Mourning. Most of the council defer to him on this matter, some because they genuinely think the same and others because they are intimidated by him. The only priest openly challenging Lord Anton's point of view being Colin Madras, the priest of Aureon, who believes the Kingdom must be restored as soon as possible.
