Anton Sevarius (Apocrypha)

This is an article describing a canon character's adventures in apocryphal stories. For the canon article on this character, see Anton Sevarius.

The unethical geneticist continued to plague the Manhattan Clan in a single episode of The Goliath Chronicles.

History

When the Clones contracted a strange disease, the Manhattan Clan brought them to Sevarius and insisted that he cure them. He collected fresh DNA samples from the Manhattan Clan, supposedly for use in a serum, but used the samples to bring to life a giant gargoyle he dubbed "Little Anton." Sevarius has Little Anton protect him from the angered Manhattan Clan and a seriously ill Thailog. But when Thailog succumbs to the illness, a grieving Goliath injects Little Anton with a vial of fast-acting disease, which quickly turns him to stone. Because Sevarius never actually developed an antidote, he is unable to save his "son." Sevarius seems to have oddly paternal feelings towards Little Anton, far different than his dismissive attitude towards the Clones. He appears to be genuinely grief stricken when Little Anton is turned to stone permanently, continuing to reassure the gargoyle even after his creation can no longer hear him. ("Genesis Undone")

For reasons unexplained, Sevarius is later arrested. ("Seeing Isn't Believing")

Tidbits

Sevarius' middle name was revealed to be Bartholomew, though this has never been mentioned outside of The Goliath Chronicles.
