Anthony Hill
Both workers and soldiers die every day, but soldiers get memorials. I wake up every day and choose the life of the latter. Military-man to military-man, if you don't know which one you want to be then you'd best get your priorities straight.
-Anthony Hill
Anthony Hill was a DTX contractor and former soldier who spearheaded the Westcolumn Mountain Tunneling Project in 1546 OA. He was exceptionally charismatic, and would give the impression of someone easygoing and earnest. He saw anyone he couldn't charm as a potential threat, and would quickly resort to intimidation and brutality in order to maintain social dominance. As a leader, he heavily relied on fascist rhetoric and propaganda, particularly by causing conflict and then framing a chosen side as the aggressor in order to unify an opposition. He idealized power as a measurement of virtue, and saw those lacking as inferior. Since leaving the United Daithia army, he envisioned the nation of Formicia, and thought the western frontier to be the perfect location to build it. Upon encountering the stewards, Hill worked on solidifying power on the western frontier and propagandized himself as a leader against the "cultist" threat. The Parados Crusade was the only group they had encountered, but Hill painted anyone not from a known nation as a dangerous cultist, giving free reign to conquer the western frontier and kill anyone already living there.
