===Conscription and training===
Anton was conscripted into the SPARTAN-II Program in [[2517]], when he was singled out as a physically and intellectually superior child by Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]]. He was replaced by a [[flash clone]] after being abducted by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]. He was then taken to [[Reach]] where he was trained along with the rest of the Spartan candidates by [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez]] and the AI [[Déjà]]. During one training exercise he and the other Spartans went to [[Emerald Cove]] and lived on their own for a few days. Anton found this particularly fun because he enjoyed beaches.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 266'' (2010)</ref>

===Radiant Arrow===
{{Main|Skirmish over Netherop}}
By early [[2526]], Anton, [[Malcolm-059]], and [[Solomon-069]] had been assigned to [[Green Team]], which was then led by [[Kurt-051]]. On [[2526#March|March 5]] of that year, Anton and eleven other Spartans were organized into an assault squad with orders to board and capture a [[Covenant frigate]], ''[[Radiant Arrow]]'', orbiting the planet [[Netherop]]. To accomplish this, they were all deployed from the [[prowler]] {{UNSCShip|Starry Night}} for an [[Extra-vehicular activity|EVA]] [[Boarding|boarding action]], with [[John-117]] in charge of the mission.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS1|HSS|Chapter=1}} Using a flight of [[Type-27 Banshee]]s for cover, the Spartans stealthily approached the alien vessel.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS2|HSS|Chapter=2}} They [[Skirmish over Netherop|boarded]] the frigate via its underslung hangar and eliminated the Covenant forces within, preparing to move deeper into the frigate without the rest of crew realizing they had been boarded. [[Blue Team]] spearheaded the assault, clearing rooms along the ship's main corridor as Anton and the rest of Green Team secured these chambers and any intersections they encountered. As the two teams continued on, a sensor operator aboard the ''Starry Night'' "accidentally" broadcast a transmission on the Spartans' [[COM|SQUADCOM]], revealing their presence to the frigate's crew. Unbeknownst to them, the crewman's apparent mistake was part of an [[insurrectionist]] plot designed by [[Hector Nyeto]], who intended to get the Spartans killed. With their presence known, Blue and Green Teams split up, with John leading his team to the bridge. Green Team would make their way to the [[engineering]] section until John informed them of the ship's imminent [[Self-destruct|self-destruction]] at the hands of its [[shipmaster]], and ordered them to evacuate. All of the Spartans—including Anton—made it to safety before the ''Radiant Arrow'' detonated.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS3|HSS|Chapter=3}}

Anton assisted John when they rescued the survivors of Delta and Alpha Teams, in the [[Forerunner]] [[Menachite portal complex|complex]] beneath the remains of [[CASTLE Base]].

Anton (under the callsign Blue Four) took part in the extravehicular mission to repair the ship. He, John, Fred, Li, Grace, and [[Will]], along with [[Petty Officer Second Class|PO2]] [[Shiela Polaski]], took the dropship out to the site. There they were ambushed by several Sangheili. Anton posted on top of the dropship to provide cover. As the conduit was repaired, a large globule of stray plasma struck the dropship, destroying its cockpit. Anton, Li, and Polaski went missing in this event. Anton and the others were flash-vaporized by the extreme heat, though Anton was listed as missing in action in accordance with [[office of Naval Intelligence Directive 930|protocol]].
