Bio:
The mustachioed rat Captain Anton Neil was once a great singing sensation. As his career and fame dwindled he became a recruiter for up and coming talent.

The Captain was hired by the Second Largest Outlet Mall in the world to recruit singers for the "Pirates of the SLOM Musical Revue" stage show. Through a series of unforeseen incidents, Veronica Teyl, then general manager of SeaLeft Software and amateur singer, ended up on stage instead of Anton's chosen chanteuse.

Anton became captivated with Veronica's voice. Not knowing who she was, the Captain spent the next year trying to find her. He finally tracked her down at the SeaLeft Software offices and offered to make her a singing star, with him as her manager.

Veronica pursued her singing for about a year before tiring of the fast pace and greasy food. She left the Captain to return to SeaLeft Software.

Behind-the-scenes:
The original inspiration for Anton Neil was "the Colonel" responsible for managing Elvis Presley's career. With a shift from a colonel to a captain the rest of Anton's name came easily. Say "Captain Anton Neil" out loud a few times and it should be obvious.
