Anthony al-Osman
Known in certain circles as "Fat Tony", Anthony al-Osman is the current Lord Proprietor and Captain-General of the Regiment of the Blackfriars', landlord of the Blackfriars' Redux, and is of noble Raspurid stock.
Born in 1652 AN to Ardashir Malik Mirza Khan al-Osman (1622-1712) and an unknown native woman of Tiegang, Anthony al-Osman was one of the Babkhan disaspora whose ancestors had come to south-eastern Apollonia in the aftermath of the 1598 Babkhan Holocaust.
Noted for his corpulence, Anthony al-Osman was of scant notoriety on any other account prior to his acquaintance with the Society for Benevolent Investment, a relationship only uncovered after the leaking of the Iron Harbour Papers. The society was believed to be the silent partners behind the pub management company operating the Blackfriars' Redux, where Anthony had inherited the position of landlord from his father in 1712 AN.
