One of King's equally odd housemates is Anton. An Italian-American circus performer and acrobat in 1921, he and his entire circus were abducted by a fairy lord, and all performers were turned into decorative fish people for their amusement. Some time in the early 2000s, a fae hunter managed to get him back to modern-day New York (the lord having long since lost interest in his toys and leaving them to scatter). He is, needless to say, having a lot to adapt to. He has not physically changed at all from his fae-form, and is still able to both breather underwater and in air. His coat of robust scales make it such that he needs to hydrate frequently (although they are more robust and less permeable than fish scales), and he too is a little iffy about wearing clothes if he can avoid it.
He's still a capable performer, although his style is a little outdated. He's a good cook, likes trashy romance novels, kills it at karaoke nights, and is absolutely beloved by the little old ladies at the public swimming pool.
