Tony was not born in the book "Bless Me, Ultima" by Rudolfo Anaya. The story follows Antonio Marez as he grows up in rural New Mexico during World War II with his family and Ultima, a curandera who plays a significant role in his life. Antonio's birth is not a central focus of the book's plot.
The narrator in "Bless Me, Ultima" is Antonio Marez, also known as Tony. He tells the story of his coming-of-age experiences in rural New Mexico through his perspective as a young boy grappling with conflicting cultural and spiritual influences. Antonio's narration provides insight into his struggles as he navigates the complexities of his upbringing and the influence of the curandera Ultima on his life.
Ultima becomes a part of the Marez family when Ultima's owl leads her to Gabriel's home during a snowstorm. Ultima saves Antonio's life by using traditional herbal medicine, and she forms a close bond with him and his family. Ultima ultimately becomes Antonio's spiritual guide and mentor, teaching him about healing, nature, and the ways of the spiritual world.

Gabriel Marez, Antonio's father, wanted Antonio to spend the summer with him so he could teach him the ways of the vaquero (cowboy) and pass down the Marez family traditions. Antonio's mother wanted him to spend the summer with her in order to learn and experience the ways of the Luna family.
The story mainly concerns the coming of age (the growing up) of Antonio Marez, but his friends Cico, Florence,Bones,Ernie, Horse, Lloyd and the Vitamin Kid are of the same age and grow up with him too.
The conflict between the Marez boys and their parents in "Bless Me, Ultima" primarily stems from their differing beliefs and values. The parents, especially the mother, have more traditional views rooted in Catholicism, while the boys are more influenced by their father's nomadic lifestyle and spiritual connection to nature. This generational and cultural clash leads to tension and struggles for the boys as they try to navigate their own identities.
