Concept Art 74: Antonio Vega

Your favorite Geologist is making a comeback!
The Rock himbo Antonio will return as a very particular Blacksmith and Artisan.
Don't let his muscles and flirty attitude deceive you, his smart brain and knowledge about mineral composition and attributes will make him the best option when enhancing weapons or crafting powerful accessories.

Especially in Asher's case, Antonio is the only Blacksmith able to understand to some degree how the Heaven's key works, he notices a powerful crystal that serves as a core that he calls Luciferite (the adamic crystal). Knowing so, he's capable of creating a new type of equipment specific to Asher, the weapon modifiers. Since Asher can't change weapons due to the special abilities that Heaven's key grants him,  the modifiers designed by Antonio will give the weapon some boost in stats or special effects, some would even change the weapon's appearance.  

But all this craftmanship is not for free, to create these outstanding pieces of equipment you will need to obtain the rarest minerals in Arcadia for Anotnio as side quests so he can create these special items for you.
His clients call him Antonio, but you can call him Tony ;)

Tony won't be the only blacksmith you can consult regarding weapons and equipment, but he is the only one who can provide very rare items and weapon modifiers for Asher. You will often see him around the same towns you'll visit in your journey, always accompanied by his best friend Cameron, a historian and Scholar intrigued by Arcadia's lost history.

You might be wondering how Tony comes back from what happened in Exodus Reports....Well, he is obviously a clone like most first-generation Ixim are, the original Tony is  "mostly" gone. Of course, even with that explanation, there are more questions than answers, I'll try to talk about the actual options when I post the Redesign for Cameron.
