Background

Specialist Anthony Argento is a gunner serving aboard the Battlestar Cerberus.

+ Show Background

Anthony Argento was born on Libran. His father was a bank employee, and his mother was a high school pyramid coach. His childhood was peaceful and uneventful. What he knew of cylons and wars was mostly through history books, movies, and stories from his parents and grandparents. He apparently didn't inherit his mother's pyramid skills, because he was a benchwarmer on his school pyramid team through all four years of high school. He had a knack for writing, and like many Libran parents, Tony's parents hoped that he would become a lawyer one day.

Tony entered college as a pre-law majoring in communications, but never made it to law school. His father died of heart failure when Tony was 20 years-old. After completing an Associates Degree, Tony got a job at a nuclear power plant to help out his mother with financially supporting the family. He eventually became a licensed nuclear technician, and worked at the power plant until his brother finished college.

When both of Tony's younger siblings were old enough to look after themselves, Tony decided to try something new and enlist in the Colonial Fleet. He said goodbye to his family, and shipped out to boot camp. After boot camp, he went to A-school and became a nuclear-trained gunner. Out of A-school, he was assigned to the Gunstar Sarpedon, where he served as a gunner for two years. He was part of the mad scramble of applications to join the crew of the brand new Battlestar Cerberus when it was commissioned. Thanks to a recommendation from the Chief Weapons Officer on the Sarpedon, Tony was transferred to the Cerberus, and promoted to Specialist.

Known Associates

Friends

Profile	Name	Argento's Thoughts
	Alex Devlin	I've known Alex longer than anyone whom I know to be alive. A decade ago, our paths diverged, and now they've converged again on the Cerberus. It's good to have a fellow Libran around.
	Garret Lysander	I like Garret because he seems to deal with life much the same way I do. I don't think he believes in the gods. He knows we're alone out here. He stays sane because he knows there's nothing left to do but fight, so that's what he does. He's a soldier, and a good man. I like knowing that guys like that are watching my back.
	Sofia Wolfe	I think Sofia is a lot darker than I originally would have guessed. She tells me that there is a lot I don't know about her. It's true I don't know her well. But I care about her a lot. I don't know exactly why.

Mentor

Profile	Name	Argento's Thoughts
	Megan Remick	Captain Remick is my mentor and role model. She's strong, intelligent, and courageous. She's dedicated to the service, and she's raising a ten year-old daughter on her own. She's tough on me but never condescending. I have the utmost respect and admiration for this woman.

Trivia

Triad
Triad is Argento's vice. He used to play too much, but he's working at being more sensible about his gambling.

Atheist
He respects the religious beliefs of others, but personally doesn't believe that the gods exist.
