In the early 2740s, he joined up with the mercenary unit, [[Hudson's Legion]], and fought with the unit during the [[Third Hidden War]].  His methods during the war gained him much respect and fear in the process.  His commanding officers were unable to accept his methods, so Antilos left the unit in [[2747]].<ref name=HLOTV2 />

In [[2750]], Antilos took control of his fate and raised his own mercenary unit called Legos's Lancers.  During a contract on the [[Lyran Commonwealth|Lyran]] world of [[Novara]], where the Lancers were under contract to garrison the city of Greenhaven for the local lord, the town mayor likened the unit to Adolf Hitler's Gestapo due to the unit's vicious and authoritarian tactics.  Legos himself was so amused by the "insult" that when the contract expired, he rechristened the unit the Greenhaven Gestapo.<ref name=HLOTV2 />

By the early 2760s, Antilos began serving as a military advisor to [[Stefan Amaris]].  When [[Operation APOTHEOSIS]] began, Legos and his Greenhaven Gestapo were at the vanguard of the operation.  Due to the unit's violent nature, Stefan used the unit whenever he needed troops for an irregular operation.<ref name=HLOTV2 />

Antilos and his mercenary unit became infamous for what they did to the Catholic Church in Rome on [[Terra]].  Legos created a sham of trial over the College of Cardinals where he was prosecutor and judge.  He offered to free the hierarchy if they were able to pay for their ransom.  Due to the church losing all of its funds during the coup, they were unable to, which allowed for Antilos to find them guilty.  He personally executed Pope Clement XXVII before he unleashed his men on the rest of the Cardinals and the citizens of Rome.<ref name=HLOTV2 />

In [[2765]], due to his unit's loyalty to Amaris, they were given complete and total control of the country of Italy on Terra.<ref name=HLOTV2 />  After taking control of the Italian Peninsula, Antilos left many of the cities in total anarchy which brought about the rise of many gangs.  He encouraged gang warfare, holding out the possibility of joining the mercenary unit as an incentive to create ingenuity and viciousness for the new members.<ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 76: "The Landings: Naples and Italy"</ref>
