He is not selfish and will go to far lengths to help those in danger or those he cares about. Dante is kind but when it comes down to his job he can be considered mean or cruel depending on how you look at things. Dante is willing to sacrifice himself if it means saving or protecting someone close to him. Dante has a calm demeanor for the most part but can lose his temper if he fails to do something or is unable to help in a situation he feels he should be helping. Dante can be patient in some circumstances but for the most part, is quite impatient and very much a go-getter. Dante is brave being an ex-soldier and mercenary braveness was drilled into him to fight for the things he loves and cares about. He is sometimes overcome with anxiety thinking about something happening to Darius or failing to fit the perfect image he was to his family for him to look up to. Dante is a quick reactor due to the training and work required for his occupations. He has over-average intelligence but that is mostly in combat, survival, and street smarts. Dante can be charismatic when he wants to be; he can chameleon in situations as he was trained for covert operations. He has a mild sense of humor but it isn’t perfect. Well, Dante is sane for the most part he did develop minor PTSD from when he was in combat for the military and mercenary work. Dante is a mix usually more energized when competing or in combat but outside of that he is a lot more chill and relaxed and prefers reading his fantasy novels or hanging out with friends.

Eric served in the Marine Corps and had his foot halfway in the door for most of his childhood, home at times, away at others. His mother was home with Dante and his brother Darius often and she was a very nice lady. They were momma’s boys. He was the firstborn and given the best treatment in order to excel throughout his life. He had expectations, mostly from his father, who would call even when he was away to make sure Dante was getting good grades. Dante succeeded in everything people asked through sheer anxiety of failing not wanting to let people down. He joined the army when he was 18 as an infantryman. He wound up deploying twice but left the service after his second term. Upon his exit, Dante joined a mercenary group to operate militarily without the restrictions the army placed on him. Between deployments Dante pursued MMA fighting in his downtime. His mercenary and MMA career were kept secret from his family. To their knowledge, he was still enlisted in the army. When Dante was 27, he was captured by the opposition and was taken as a prisoner of war. His equipment was confiscated before he was placed in a room to wait for someone to arrive but after some time a portal appeared on the wall. Dante immediately jumped for it.
