Appearance: 5'9", muscular, prone to smiling. Dirty blonde-on-the-verge-of-light-brown hair, right-handed. Tony dresses for practicality and has a few scars from curse-breaking. He also often has a very light beard.

History: 1863: Antonius is born, hurrah! He is the third child and son born to Maxwell and Martha Skeeter.

1864: Tony gains another brother in the form of Mortimer.

1867: A final brother, Thompson, is born, and Tony's eldest brother goes off to Hogwarts.

1868: Tony demonstrates signs of magic by accidentally multiplying a throw pillow. His only sister, Tamsin, is born.

1869: Tony's grandfather dies. While he is not overly impacted, this is his first real reminder that people do die.

1870: Barney goes off to Hogwarts.

1872: Archie decides to drop out after his OWLs; Tony is not sure what he thinks of this, but he does think that it's good that his brother is doing what he wants. (Even if, later, Tony thinks that what Archie wants to do is not entirely useful.)

1874: Tony is mildly irked by his birthday being in mid-September, as it means he cannot go to Hogwarts until next year. He decides he wants to travel when he's older.

1875-6: Tony finally goes to Hogwarts, where he is sorted into Gryffindor. (His brother, Morty, attends at the same time and becomes a 'Puff.)

1876-7: Tony enjoys his second year of schooling and picks up Arithmancy and Ancient Runes as his electives. Barney finishes his schooling.

1877-8: Tommy joins his siblings in Hogwarts and becomes a Ravenclaw.

1879-1880: Tony's careers discussion with his HoH inspires him to want to become a Cursebreaker; he does not tell anyone this, but busts his ass on his Arithmancy and Ancient Runes OWLs and streamlines his courses accordingly.

1880-1: Tony takes Arithmancy, Ancient Runes, DaDa, Potions, Transfiguration, and Charms as his NEWT classes.

1881-2: Tony and Morty finish their schooling. Morty joins the MoM instead of becoming a pro quidditch player; Tony quickly arranges for a Cursebreaking contract in South America.

Present: While he has not seen any of his family since he became a cursebreaker, he has been writing to his mother. Following the end of his contract, Tony has flitted back into Hogsmeade to watch the world cup and see the fam.

Personality: Hardworking, adventurous, willing to do his own thing, dutiful, likes to be useful. Unlike some Gryffs, Tony does have self-preservation instincts.
