Appearance
Antoine has green eyes, wavy gray hair, and fair-to-tan skin. He has slight stubble on his face. He wears a white chef's jacket and blue neckerchief.

Personality
According to Everett/Yvette, Antoine is a snobby untrustworthy little weasel and an arrogant elitist.

He is shown to be very egotistical, believing that he is infallible and that anyone who disagrees with him regarding food or running a restaurant is wrong.

Everett/Yvette Flynt
Everett/Yvette is Antoine's rival. They had been competitors on the cooking competition show, "The Knife's Edge", where Everett/Yvette told Antoine that he had crossed the line the day of the finale.

When you two visit New Orleans, Everett/Yvette finds out that the first restaurant he/she worked had gone out of business. Right next door, Antoine had opened a fancy restaurant to Everett/Yvette's disgust. He/she believes it was opened there on purpose to rile him/her up.

In Chapter 12, Antoine challenges Everett/Yvette to find out who is the better cook between the two of them on his new show, Creme de la Creme.

Zara Vyas
In Chapter 11, Zara tells the cast and crew that the production has officially hired Antoine to guest star alongside Everertt/Yvette in the next episode. Although she knows him professionally, it does not appear that they have a personal relationship.

Your Character

In Chapter 16, you are able to rile Antoine's anger instead when you and Everett/Yvette beat him on his cooking show.

Nasim is Antoine's fiancee. Even though Everett/Yvette believes Antoine singled her out to get to him/her several years ago, Everett/Yvette believes Antoine and Nasim have a true connection with each other.
