History
Antares was born far away from the rest of the other kingdoms on a very large and over populated country called Pandora.

Pandora is or was a nation of spirituality, it people worshiped the All Mighty a being that thought to have created dust,Antares's people worshiped dust just like the All Mighty, and they hate it when people mess with it, even though they truly don't understand dust, because they aren't allowed to study it only to use it for self defense, worship. Legends say that there god hid himself inside a box until the day the world was at peace, no war, no racism, and no pollution ,and when he returned the Grimm would be gone. People would come from the far corners of the world to be blessed by the most holy of holies a council of religious monks who ruled over them all. People would come in hope that they would live forever, since they live in a much less polluted area, fresh air, and live longer just because of there healthy lifestyle. When Antares was a little boy he opened a sacred box that was rumored to have there god inside, opening it would doom the world. When Antares opened the box it was empty, it turned out that the Council lied to there people for generation's it was all a lie to trick people into becoming there pawns. A war broke out between the Rebels and the Loyalists, Antares was force to side with the Loyalist's since his mother was a renowned warrior, and loyal protector of the council, his father on the other hand was a Wolf Faunus who fell in love with Antares mother.

"I don't want to hurt anyone anymore dad! I've taken so many lives! I just want this all to stop!" "I know son I know" Antares joined his father in the rebellion. In the end the rebels won the war. Antares mother singlehandedly killed the entire council after being pressured into by her husband. She was named a traitor, even by the rebels and was exiled forever from Pandora. Antares dad tried to make the rebels see reason, but failed Antares when on to fight in two more wars both happening right after the first war back to back, he was on the winning side on both events.

Semblance
Final Wind: When cornered Antares can activate his secret semblance called final Wind, channeling all of his power into a wild frenzy state, his sword lights on fire, and so does his hair can eyes. Its a lot like yang's semblance, however here its much more dangerous for the user, while the users attackers are more powerful and quicker it completely openings up areas for attack, mostly in the back area, it also goes completely against Antares fighting style Ardendu, Ardendu is all about defense and countering, Final wind has no countering what's so ever. The Frenzy lasts for about 30 seconds if his enemy isn't defeated in that amount of time his energy will be all gone.

Styles
Antares created his own fighting style called Ardendu style, and was very fond of chaining hand-to-hand combat strikes with this style, and for creating powerful counters, Ardendu relied on tight blade work and subtle dodges to provide maximum defensive coverage, minimizing exposure to ranged weaponry. Ardendu relied on economy of motion and energy efficiency, keeping up constant blade-movement to build up momentum and minimize energy-expenditure. Ardendu was a defensive style creating a powerful defense few can match. The draw backs to this style are that its a non-aggressive style, and its weak against range. its doubly affective when using two swords.
