Anthony is a mysterious and cunning character from SHADOWS HOUSE, known for his intelligence and secretive nature. He was once the living doll under Christopher, the former leader of the children's wing. After Christopher's death, Anthony disappeared but continued secretly helping others who want to oppose the mansion. He is called "the hidden main character of the best generation" for his indirect leadership and smart planning. He manipulates people skillfully, including both children and adults, and has a hidden goal of taking control of the entire mansion. Anthony’s true identity is surprisingly linked to both the old Mirror House and the main characters of the story.
Anthony is a handsome young man with striking black hair that is a bit wavy.
He always has a gentle and confident smile, which matches the mood of his master.
As a living doll, Anthony is usually calm and supportive, always focusing on helping his master show their emotions.
He is much smarter than Christopher, his master, and uses his intelligence to make important decisions.
People who know him well call him "the hidden main character of the best generation."
Anthony is confident, clever, and sometimes ruthless.
He can be very caring, but he is also willing to use others as pieces in his own plans if needed.
Anthony is not afraid to take action, even if it means hurting others, because he is so focused on his mission.
Anthony's real identity is Christopher Miller, the son of Alfred, the last master of the old Mirror House.
This makes him the half-brother of Kate, who is the daughter of Alfred’s first wife, Catherine.
When the Mirror House was attacked, Alfred gathered his family’s followers and formed a secret group called the Mirror Family.
As a child, Anthony was chosen by his father to take back the mansion from the Shadows family.
He trained in combat and spy skills with other children.
When he turned thirteen, he decided to enter the mansion, even though his father wanted him to stay.
Anthony was so dedicated to his "mission" that he ended up killing his father when he begged him not to go.
After that, he sneaked onto the train to the mansion, where a morph copied him and created Christopher Shadow, while Anthony became the living doll.
He planned to use his knowledge and skills to regain control of the mansion.
Anthony has excellent physical strength and intelligence because of his tough training as a child.
As the chosen "heir," he is a natural leader who can persuade and control people very well.
He has a unique charisma and can easily gain others' trust.
He is a master at making plans and setting traps.
He also helps children develop their soot powers for battle.
- Christopher (his master): Anthony supported him, but was much smarter.
- Kate: Anthony's half-sister, though she does not know it at first.
- Marierose and Rosemary: He considered them allies, but their choices made them go their separate ways.
- Lewis: Anthony skillfully manipulates Lewis, calling him a "student."
- Other children and adults in the mansion: He tries to use and control many of them for his own goals.
- "You have the qualities of a leader."
- "If you become my 'student,' there will be a time the children's wing can come together and stand against the mansion."
- "It went well, didn't it?"
- "Ah... It really took a long time to get here."
- "You never expected it, did you? That everything you chose and solved by your own will, was part of my plan from the start."
Secret Helper and the Shadowed Past
Anthony, once under Christopher's control, had his mind freed by Marierose.
He became a wise helper in the mansion, admired for his hidden support.
He called Marierose "the hidden main character of the best generation."
After Christopher learned about true "integration" during a ritual and received Anthony's message, he was so shocked that he took his own life.
Anthony then stayed hidden, still aiding Marierose, and gradually approached Kate after a big incident.
When Kate questioned his goal, Anthony only told her, "If you become my student, a time will come when we can stand against the mansion."
He kept his full purpose secret.
Later, Anthony manipulated Lewis as "his student," and even started to threaten the adult Shadows in the house.
The Real Truth
After the two ghost incidents ended with Marierose and Rosemary's dramatic outcome, Anthony, dressed in a cloak, appeared before Kate and Emilico.
On the surface, Marierose and Rosemary seemed to be the main culprits, but Anthony was actually the other mysterious "cloaked figure," and the true mastermind.
Long ago, after being "called," Anthony went with Christopher to "the wing with Lord Grandfather."
But when they learned about "integration," Christopher refused the ritual and chose to end his own life.
Anthony returned to the children's wing alone and kept hiding, staying in touch only with Marierose and Rosemary.
Many details are still unknown, such as how Anthony escaped from "Lord Grandfather's wing" or if Christopher's suicide was real.
We do know Anthony wants to fight against the mansion, but his real nature remains mysterious.
When Marierose and Rosemary chose "to escape by jumping," Anthony accepted they could no longer be partners.
Family Secrets Revealed
It is revealed that Anthony is actually Christopher Miller, the son of Alfred, the original Mirror House master, and Joseph’s daughter.
This makes Kate and Anthony half-siblings.
Kate is 13 years old in the story, but Anthony entered the mansion earlier, so he is likely older.
Losing Everything and Planning Revenge
After Anthony lost both his father and master, he became even more determined.
He sees everything ruled by SHADOWS HOUSE as his right, as the Mirror House's heir.
Since then, Anthony has moved secretly in the mansion, gathering information and waiting for his chance.
He discovers Kate from her name and her doll Emilico and realizes she is his half-sister.
Anthony sets up new plans, making Kate or even the adult Shadows pieces in his game.
Mission-Driven Leader
Anthony’s mission to reclaim the Mirror House makes him act like a conqueror.
He is willing to fight, hurt or use anyone who stands in his way.
His most powerful tools are charisma and the ability to make people trust him.
Anthony dreams of defeating all others and making the mansion his own, even telling Kate, “This is the battle for the Mirror House inheritance.”
- Anthony is sometimes called the "hidden main character."

- He is secretly the half-brother of Kate.
