Expedition Dossier
Designation: Anton L. Caterlain
Role: Correspondence Officer
Primary Function: Documentation, structure, and quality control
Secondary Function: Editorial presence and visual oversight
Anton is responsible for ensuring absolute clarity across all expedition records.
Every document, every image, and every field note passes — formally or informally — through his review.
Standards are not suggested. They are enforced.
Background
Anton has always believed that everything must have a clear structure.
From an early age, he began organizing, sorting, and documenting things — even when there was, objectively, nothing to document.
An incident from an earlier phase is considered decisive:
Anton spent several hours cataloging a collection of leaves by size, color, and shape.
The leaves were never found again.
The documentation, however, was complete.
Since then, one principle applies:
If something exists, it is recorded by Anton.
And if it is not recorded, it is reasonable to question whether it exists at all.
Notable Contributions
-
Founder and publisher of 4PAWS Magazine
-
Established the expedition’s documentation standards
-
Has yet to approve a single “casual” photograph - and has no intention of starting
Leisure Preferences
-
Sleeping. His life is, after all, extremely demanding.
-
He deliberately seeks out controlled environments with minimal disruption
and prefers quiet observation over active participation. -
Exception: secret jungle herb – The Buschkraut –
-
→ results in temporarily uncontrollable behavior
-
→ in other words: complete loss of composure, well, he completely goes bonkers
Personal Motto
„If it isn’t properly documented, it didn’t happen."
