By Mel!
Antioch was a coyote-heavy member of Inferni, holding a position on the Triumvirate until the time of his death.
One of Priest de le Poer and Symera Villisca's many children, Antioch was raised by his family to view wolves and high-percentage wolf hybrids as his enemy. Like many of his siblings, Antioch left home and traveled to Inferni, joining the clan in mid-summer of his first year. When the Inferi and Cour des Miracles War broke out, Antioch was quick to see an opportunity to make use of his abilities. He acted dutifully (and often fervently) for Inferni, accompanied by his friend Ferret, who was killed during the conflict by a loner. Antioch diligently performed as a combatant for the Clan until the war's climax.
The aftermath of the war and the wake of Ferret's death spurred a friendship between Antioch and Versace Inferni. While he initially acted as something of a bodyguard for her, the two regularly spent time together and grew to be close friends. Following the meteorite strike (and an unplanned pregnancy), Antioch and Versace officiated their relationship as mates. They had several children together.
During The Second Boreas Conflict, Antioch was an active participant in the defense of Inferni, and was notably responsible for the death of Boreas' second-in-command, Bethlehem Anders. He was struck by the Spring Sickness that followed during the next season, though made a full recovery by summer. During that time his sister was assaulted by a fellow clanmate, whom Antioch helped drive from Inferni after failing to kill him.
In the fall, Antioch's eldest son Omar was killed by a member of Salsola, and soon both packs launched into war. This brutal and bloody conflict would end with the burning of the D'Neville Mansion and Inferni's subsequent surrender and move eastward. There, Antioch attempted to continue his duties as best he could. Following the birth of his final child, and subsequent illness that plagued his wife, Antioch became desperate to provide in an increasingly unfavorable situation. Versace's death would propel him into a strange state, distancing himself from his children and the struggling Clan. He began hearing voices and grew increasingly paranoid.
No one knows exactly what happened to Antioch, who disappeared that summer. He met an untimely end, though his body was lost in The Stellarton Mines? and his death was never confirmed.
