Personal banner of Master of Antics Hermann Fegelein
The rank of Master of Antics was one of the highest obtainable ranks in the Antic Order, and those who held this title are assumed to have reached the peak of their training in anticology. The rank garnered a lot of respect from other members of the Order, and often indicated individuals with uncommon skill in the art of stealth and pulling antics. Masters of Antics never pull antics on an innocent, hide in plain sight, and never compromised their Order.
Known Masters
There are five known Masters of Antics. The most well-known of them is Hermann Fegelein, who served with the Berlin Antics Guild under Grand Master Heinrich Himmler.
- Hermann Otto Fegelein (? - 1945), of the Berlin Antics Guild

- Khamis al-Gaddafi (? - 2011) of the Tripoli Antics Guild

Trivia
- Walther Hewel, in contrast with his geeky image in Downfall, was probably the only character appearing in the film who performed antics in real life - he often played practical jokes on Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, to Hitler's amusement. He thus can be regarded as the real Antic Master.
