Antlos Dondarrion was born in the realm of Gondor. His mother was a maid of Rohan whilst his father was a knight of Gondor, brave and chivalrous or so he was told. His father died when he was just a babe in his mother's arms and a few weeks after his father's death his mother could not cope with grief and a baby at the same time so she fled back to Rohan with Antlos to seek aid from her cousins and aunts. When Antlos reached a young age he was introduced to Abellinda Boleyn. From then on they played and trained in arms together. 

When Antlos and Abellinda grew older their bond grew too. They were like brother and sister and set out on occasion to defend the village from wolves and other nasty creatures. When Antlos truely became a man he promised to defend Abellinda from those who would do her harm and he became her protector.

On a cold February  when Antlos was away hunting in the plains out a good few leagues from the village the village was gripped with terror and screams echoed over the hills, when Orcs in huge numbers laid seige on the village on pass to another location. They ripped through the village, burning and killing as they ran through, families were deminished in seconds. 

Antlos believed Abellinda to be dead when he returned to the pile of ash that was his once bursting with life village. When he found no sign of her body amoung the pile of corpses he thought she might have escaped the onslaught. He then returned to Gondor to become a knight like his father. He was taken as a squire by a knight called Anbourn Mill. The first five or six months were going just fine untill the old knight returned home with four arrows in his chest. After that no one else would take Antlos on as a squire so he decided to go looking for his lady. His search led him to Eriador and found Abellinda in the town of Bree. He began to serve her and hoped to for a long time to come...

After a while in Bree-Land, Abellinda and Antlos departed with a band of Men and Women bound for Rohan. Things did not go as planned after Antlos heard of an evil group in Bree-Land, plotting the downfall of the Bree folk. He said his farewells to the company and headed westward to Bree-Land once more.

There he met a group known as House Hawthorn, a noble and honourable house. He joined as a guard and was assigned to Lady Lillyane, a companion of the lady of House Hawthorn...

After a while serving under the banner of Hawthorn Antlos was reported dead. But it was indeed Antlos' brother Sauldur who died that the killers mistook him for Antlos. When Antlos heard what happened he took the disguise of Sauldur and continue to serve House Hawthorn for a while. 

After he learned that Abellinda had reached the town of Stangard he revealed himself as Antlos to House Hawthorn and asked to be relieved of his duty so that he could ride for Stangard to be with his beloved Belle.
