Fem!Sauron?
I don't see the connection.
Mr. Bean is pretty apt though. Anton, the Podrick Payne of our universe.
Just less whoring and more diplomaticking.
I can totally imagine this scene:
Anton's feeling a tad bit nervous. He's seated in the elector count's private office. Both the count and mathilde are both looking at him with something akin to confused awe.
"So let me get this straight..." The count growls out slowly, as if struggling to form each word. "... He didn't take your gold?"
"Nope."
"Maybe he's just trying to get in good with the new elector count. Vampires are bad for everyone and all that." Mathilde offers weakly.
Van Hal raises a cynical eyebrow at her. "Have you ever known a mercenary to turn down coin?"
"... No."
"So... what you're telling me Anton," Van Hal returns his attention to the nervous young man sitting infront of them, face grave and eyes hard. "Is that Asarnil enjoys your company so much that he joined up, free of charge?"
A single bead of sweat forms on Anton's forehead. "... yes?"
He really doesn't know what else to say.
Van Hal just sighs wearily, as if he's had quite enough of Ranald's meddling. It has to be Ranald, else the only other deity that would do such a thing would be Tzeentch and that's something he rally doesn't want to consider.
"... Mathilde."
The shadow-kight-spy just nods knowingly and pulls out three glasses from a nearby aclove whilst the count retrieves his flask, pouring each of them a generous amount of amber liquid.
"We're going to need details, young Anton. Copious amounts of details."

@BoneyM when stats for Asarnil?
