Prince Antonius of Renatus-Marna (1636 - 1725) was the second eldest son of Aurelius I, Emperor of Man. He went missing before his father's abdication and thus never became Emperor of his father's land. His son, Augustus I, would succeed to the throne instead. Antonius nevertheless earned distinction as one of the most successful Renatian commanders throughout the Kingdom, being regarded by his contemporaries as a model of chivalry and one of the greatest knights of his age.
In 1652, he was appointed as the Grand Marshal of the King's Renatian Legion, and ordered to lead the Renatian army against the Czena Confederation, during which he plundered Markev with an army of 20,000 strong against the numerically stronger 50,000 confedaration warriors. Several similar skirmishes would follow on after the successful renatian raid against Haense, causing the collapse of the Czena Confederation itself. Despite the collapse of the confederation, Prince Antonius and his father saw it fit to continue their war against the Kingdom of Haense, officially marking the start of the Atlas Coalition War. In 1660, Prince Antonius commanded the right flank at the Battle of The Rolling Hills, his father intentionally leaving him with the majority of the Renatian forces to win the first major battle in the Atlas Coalition War. He continued to take part in Aurelius I's campaign against the United Southern Alliance.

Early Life
Antonius, the second eldest son of Aurelius I and Queen Theodosia, was born at Doggersden in 1636. His father two years later, declared himself King of Renatus and led the Coup of Adelburg, removing Emperor John VI and dissolving the Holy Orenian Empire. The dissolution of the empire created a rivalry between two claimant factions within the House of Horen, the Horen-Pertinax branch and the Horen-Marna branch, leading to a skirmish between the two factions within the delapadated walls of the City of Bastion, the former capital of the Kingdom of the Westerlands, ending with a Renatian victory.
Grand Marshal and military campaigns
In 1652, Aurelius I created the Prince as Grand Marshal of the newly formed Royal State Army of Renatus-Marna. A year later the prince was called upon to furnish troops within the Renatian-Marnantine lands for an impending campaign into Haense against the Czena Confederation.
Czena campaign
Antonius, Grand Marshal of Renatus, set forth from the City of Senntisten at the head of a 20,000 strong army, made primarily up of Renatian landsknecht's, burning and ravaging the Hanseti as he went, distinguishing himself at the Sacking of Markev were the numerically disadvantaged 20,000 man renatian-marnantine force decisively crushed the 50,000 led Czena force.
The Rolling Hills campaign
Antonius marched with King Aurelius I eastwards to the Norlandic city of Ruriksgrad in the month of The Grand Harvest 1660 where their advance was eventually halted by a United Southern Alliance comprised army at the Rolling Hills in Norland.
On the 20th of the Grand Harvest, 1660, Antonius took command of the right flank of the army with Ser Konrad Nzech, at the head of 1,600 men-at-arms, 2,000 archers and 4,000 renatian lands
