Tony is a native North Dakota boy. He escaped the womb in Carrington and continued his training in Jamestown, where he emerged as a force that no one bothered reckoning with. He spent most of his time in the coming years making sounds come from his mouth, beating on things with sticks, or dressing in costumes and makeup while pretending he was somebody else. He spent far too many years pretending to learn things at a South Dakota institution and eventually moved to a higher populated place with a woman whom he had become bonded to maritally. He currently herds many types of small creatures in his home and studies how to capture the good sounds with dials and buttons. He is Junebug's monkey-man, flailing his limbs and continuing to grow hairs.
