—Anton to Jack and Prince James src

Anton, also known as the Giant and Tiny, is a character on ABC's Once Upon a Time. He débuts in the sixth episode of the second season. He is portrayed by guest star Jorge Garcia, and does not have a Storybrooke counterpart.

Anton is based on the Giant from the folktale "Jack and the Beanstalk".


History

Before First Curse
Anton resides at the top of beanstalk, and despite being a giant, he has a fascination with humans in the land below. Anton lives with his many brothers; Arlo, Abraham, Argyle and Andre. As the smallest out of his siblings, he is given the nickname "Tiny" and constantly picked on by Abraham. Anton arrives late for a celebratory feast in honor of the harvest of their magic beans. Though Arlo takes great pride in the feat, Anton doesn't understand the point if the magic beans aren't used. Arlo chides that it's of great importance to keep the beans away from the prying hands of humans. As Anton rises to join in on a toast, a golden harp, which he stole from the treasury, drops from his sleeve. Abraham mocks him for taking a fancy to a human instrument, and then deliberately crushes it. Upset, he defies his brothers by climbing down the beanstalk into the Enchanted Forest. Anton ends up in the kingdom of King George, and watches the activities of the humans through a the outside of pub window. He is befriended by two humans, Jack and Prince James, who give him a magic mushroom to become human size. Anton happily enjoys harp music in the tavern while Jack and James tell him about the kingdom's enormous debts. He feels sympathetic enough to procure some treasure from atop the beanstalk for them. While doing so, Anton is caught by Arlo. As they argue, they both see the sentry birds released into the air, which warns of a disturbance. They rush out to see Jack and James leading a siege up the beanstalk to steal the magic beans. Urged by his brother, Anton goes to destroy all the beans to keep the humans from taking them. After hurrying back, he finds Arlo dying of poison. Before passing away, Arlo gives him the very last cutting of a beanstalk, which he hopes Anton will grow into new magic beans someday. ("Tiny")

After First Curse

Since the massacre of his whole family, Anton's hatred for humans festers. He lives in seclusion alone in a castle on the beanstalk with a horde of treasures. Of one of these precious items, he possesses an enchanted compass. Anton storms out of his home when a human man, Hook, lures him out. As he proceeds to chase him down, Anton faints after another human, Emma, throws a substance in his face. He awakens in an enraged state and bursts into the castle to find the humans rifling through his things. His movements cause large rocks to collapse from the ceiling onto Hook. Then, he grabs Emma and tries to squeeze her to death, but she bites his hand, causing him to loosen his grip. She entraps him in his own cage enclosure and then asks for the compass. Anton refuses as he believes she'll kill him after getting it. Emma convinces him she isn't that kind of person. When she notices a withered bean hanging around his neck, he tells her the story of how giants created magic beans. Eventually, he gives her the compass and breaks free out of the cage to punch out an exit for her in the wall. He considers this to be returning a favor since she did not kill him. Emma insists that Anton actually owes her two favors since she didn't harm him while he was unconscious. He agrees to help her again, to which Emma asks him to hold back Hook, who is not trustworthy, so she and her friends can get a head start. ("Tallahassee")

Hook manages to escape and steal the dried-up magic bean; leaving Anton with only the remaining stem. Later, he is captured by Cora, shrunken down to human size and taken aboard the Jolly Roger for the sail to Storybrooke. ("Queen of Hearts")

On the ship, Anton is freed by Mary Margaret, but is furious upon seeing David, who he mistakes for James. He vows to get revenge, and disappears into the town of Storybrooke. A woman named Regina offers him a mushroom to return to his regular size and get revenge on humans. After regaining his physical stature befitting a giant, he smashes through the town streets while sending humans running away in terror as David, Leroy and Mary Margaret attempt to stop him. Anton temporarily calms down when he hears word of Emma, but resumes his rampage after learning she is out of town. In an attempt to quell Anton's answer, David offers himself up for the townspeople's safety. Anton agrees to the deal, but when he stomps the ground and creates a hole, the mushroom's effects begin to wear off, causing himself to fall into the pit and cling on for life. The townspeople work together to rescue him. With much reluctance, he takes David's hand and is pulled up. Anton apologizes for the trouble he caused and earns everyone's forgiveness. During a stay at the diner, he shows them the beanstalk stem. After checking some suitable soil content, the dwarves accept him as a friend and hand Anton his very own pickax with the nickname "Tiny". They commence in digging into the soil to plant the beanstalk stem. ("Tiny")

To protect the bean fields from being visible to outsiders, Mother Superior enacts a spell to make the area appear as an empty field unless someone steps inside the barrier. Along with the dwarves, Anton assists in tending to the growing beans. ("Tiny")

Once the beans have flourished in growth, David and Mary Margaret bring along Emma to show them to her. Anton greets the trio and gives Emma a friendly hug. Seeing as she is surprised at his current size, he explains to her that Cora used magic to make him small. Anton chats with them until Leroy hauls him back to work. After sundown, David carpools Anton and the six miners to the diner. Leroy invites David and Mary Margaret to grab some dinner with them, and says Anton is buying. Having heard this for the first time, Anton is surprised, to which he is told the new guy always pays. David reassures them he and Mary Margaret will be heading home. The group bids them goodbye. As the car pulls away, they begin walking towards the diner as Anton insists he has no money to pay for food. ("Lacey")

The devious Pan infiltrates Storybrooke by previously switching bodies with Henry and sets out to cast his own version of the Dark Curse. Regina puts a stop to it by undoing the curse she cast, but also getting rid of Pan's curse in the process. As a price, Storybrooke will be wiped out and all residents will have to return to the Enchanted Forest. Once Regina's task is done, everyone except Emma and Henry, who left town on the mayor's request, is engulfed by the curse's purple smoke. ("Going Home")

During Second Curse

A new curse is cast by none other than Snow White; returning Anton and the rest of the Enchanted Forest inhabitants to the town of Storybrooke. However, as a result of Wicked Witch of the West's interference, everyone's last recollection is the final day in Storybrooke when Regina stopped Pan's curse, but no one can recall anything further than that. Anton resumes working at the Bean Fields, trying to produce new magic beans with the help of Ruby. ("Witch Hunt," "A Curious Thing," "The Bear King")

Regina, after bestowing Henry with a kiss of true love, breaks the second curse. Like everyone else, Anton regains his lost memories of the missing year in the Enchanted Forest. ("A Curious Thing")

After Second Curse
Thanks to Ruby's help, Anton succeeds with producing one magic bean on the burnt-out fields. As a token of his appreciation for her work, he gives the bean to Ruby, which she uses to return to the Enchanted Forest. ("The Bear King")

After Fourth Curse
To commemorate Henry's graduation from high school, Anton gifts him a magic bean, which Henry later uses to travel to the New Enchanted Forest. ("Is This Henry Mills?")
