Antony is a dog handler for Caesar's Legion living at The Fort in 2281.
Background
Antony came from Denver, Colorado and was part of the Hangdogs tribe, before Caesar's Legion invaded. The Hangdogs tribe resisted the Legion's efforts to take over the tribe and integrate it into the Legion. Caesar's Legion took over the tribe by throwing the tribe's dogs onto a fire, forcing the Hangdogs to surrender. Antony, after the integration of the tribe, became a Houndmaster.

Notable quotes
- "Outsiders are a rare sight at the Fort. Step carefully around here and you might just leave alive. I'm Antony, master of the hounds."
- "When the Legion showed up, we fought, most tribes did. Hangdogs hung out longer than most... {beat}broke us by throwing our dogs on the fire."
- "Take the bear. I can't believe I let some of my best dogs get killed over this stupid thing."
Appearances
Antony appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
Behind the scenes
His name is likely a reference to 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.
