Background Edit

As the self-perceived only legitimate son of House Senior, Anthony considered himself the only worthy heir of the H&H Tools Company legacy. He held a deep disdain for his half-brother and had severe psychological issues, ranging from paranoia to schizophrenia as evidenced by his security measures at the company and his rambling journal entries.[1]

Anthony's father died in an accident and he subsequently seized complete control of the H&H Tool Company, using his lawyers to cut Robert House out of any part of the inheritance.[2] The company did well under his control initially and its employers enjoyed many benefits, despite the facts that Anthony on several occasions displayed weird behavior in public, such as wearing a "special hat" and refusing to make eye contact with anyone as he believed people could steal his "thought energy" by looking at him too long.

Anthony also had several outlandish security measures installed, such as random DNA screenings, sealing off employee bathrooms, and bans on speaking any other language than English during business transactions. The only employee he showed any kind of trust was his human resources manager, Cindy-Lou Kreb, who effectively acted as his right hand and enforcer in the workplace.

Meanwhile, as his brother Robert House quickly rose to prominence with his own company, RobCo Industries, Anthony's already fragile mental condition began to rapidly degenerate. As RobCo started buying aggressively into the H&H Tool Company's stock, Anthony became increasingly convinced that several of his employees were conspiring with his half-brother to perform a hostile takeover of the company.

In the end, Anthony's paranoia came to a head on June 19, 2077. Having lost faith even in Cindy-Lou Kreb, convinced that every single one of his employees was in on the conspiracy and that Robert House was coming to physically remove him from his office, he locked down the factory and activated its security systems, refusing to go down without a fight.

Notes Edit

The terminal containing his logs inside the office on the top floor of the H&H Tools Factory is named Anthony House's terminal, however in the last entry it is signed Alexander House.

The same terminal reveals that he hates foreigners, Masons, carpenters, Tragic the Garnering players, illegal aliens, extraterrestrials and the Flemish.
