Anton's Key was a genetic modification that afflicted Julian 'Bean' Delphiki and four of his nine children, discovered and named by Anton. One who had this condition was said to have Anton's Key "turned." The modification caused gigantism, extremely high intelligence and a virtually unlimited capacity for learning. Both were caused by a slow, but constant and unstoppable growth from birth of both body and, more remarkably, brain. Children with Anton's Key turned were born prematurely, and, despite low birth weight and shorter gestation period, did not require any extra attention as most premature babies do. All of the normal human growth milestones were accelerated, including, but not limited to, toilet training, walking, talking and puberty (except for the growth spurt).
