Overview[edit]
By February 3015, the rebels controlled only a few remaining systems. The mental strain this placed on Anton was tremendous, and had started to show. At his headquarters on New Delos, Anton met with Jaime Wolf, ordering the mercenary commander to break his unit down into company-sized forces, and distribute them among the remaining rebel troops. Anton had hoped that this would slow the advance of Janos' forces. Wolf refused, citing the contract that had been signed. This led to a fallout between Anton and Wolf's Dragoons that had devastating consequences.
Anton promptly ordered the arrest of Joshua Wolf, brother of Jaime Wolf, and 27 other Dragoon personnel and dependents. (It would not be revealed until years later that Jaime Wolf's wife and two daughters were also among those taken.) Joshua Wolf and the 27 others were soon executed. Anton then sent a message to Jaime Wolf, announcing the arrests while concealing the executions, and using the prisoners as hostages.
Wolf's response was swift, as all of Wolf's Dragoons descended on New Delos. After three days of fighting, Natasha Kerensky led her newly formed Kerensky's Company through a forest fire, attacking the rear of Anton's palace and ultimately killing him when a wall collapsed on him.[2] The Dragoons promptly destroyed every remaining rebel unit on New Delos.
With the death of the Wolf's Dragoons' dependents, the mercs devastated New Delos and killed Anton Marik immediately.
