Anten

Anten (暗転) is a demon with an uncanny likeliness to Hanten, though their relation is unknown. He is a supporting character in Obsolete Dream.

Physical Description
Anten has fair skin, red eyes, and messy slate-gray hair tied into a ponytail. He has curly black horns, a long curly tail, and pitch-black hands with white nails. It is also seen that his neck has stitch marks on it, presumably from the aftermath of being decapitated by Taffy. He wears a black suit with a white dress shirt, a black-tie in a half-Windsor knot, and black dress shoes.

He can shapeshift into a pitch-black snake with the same stitch marks near the head. Oftentimes, he hides in his snake form as Hanten's shadow.

Personality
Anten has been said to be the worst troublemaker and trickster. It has also been stated by Deep-Sea Prisoner that if he was not around, a countless number of terrible situations could have been avoided. Whether intentionally or not, his behavior has earned him the resentment of people everywhere.

It has also been said by Deep-Sea Prisoner that Anten is a pitiful guy and that he is not very strong either.

Background
Anten once served as a subordinate of Lil alongside Maekami and Daimonji. Anten's backstory has furthermore been hinted at in Obsolete Dream chapter 6. He was shown in a flashback where he woke up crucified and severely injured, surrounded by angels smiling sinisterly at him. Initially believing that he was dreaming, he later realized that he wasn't and mentioned being defeated.

Hanten
Hanten and Anten bear an uncanny resemblance to one another, but why they share this fundamental connection has yet to be revealed. It has been strongly implied that they are not blood-related in chapter 8 of Obsolete Dream.

They furthermore seem to get along fine. Anten is sometimes seen in Hanten's presence, hiding in her coat in his snake form. It has also been shown in multiple instances that he can hide in her shadow.

Taffy
Taffy hates Anten to an absurd degree. He once beheaded him and quite literally served his head on a silver platter. The reason for this is currently unknown.

Candla
Candla's relationship with Anten is unknown. They were seen together in an artwork.

Roc Hijoushiki
Roc and Anten get along extremely poorly. The context of their relationship is unclear, although Anten has been shown several times as trying to run away or hide from Roc, who wants to hunt him down and expresses sadistic amusement at Anten's peril. In one illustration Anten is hiding behind a bush from Roc, who calls him a monkey and gleefully threatens him with a large bomb.

Lil
Lil was Anten's former boss. Not much is currently known about their relationship.

Daimonji
Daimonji was Anten's former colleague. Not much is currently known about their relationship.

Maekami
Maekami was Anten's former colleague. Maekami has an extremely low opinion of him, comparing his snake form to a smear of filth on the ground after stabbing him. He thinks of Anten as "unreliable" and has no qualms about turning Anten into snake wine, as shown in chapter 8.5 of Obsolete Dream.

Anten is also said to be the one ultimately responsible for Maekami's broken horn and tail, despite Hanten carrying out the physical deed. The details surrounding this incident have yet to be revealed.
