Biography
Dante entered the SPARTAN-III program, developed by Colonel James Ackerson, around 2546 while between the age of 5 and 7 when he, along with other orphans, volunteered to become a SPARTAN-III to avenge his family or home planet after their destruction by the Covenant. Once on Onyx, he and the other SPARTAN-III candidates were trained by Senior Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez, Lieutenant Commander Kurt-051, and surviving Beta Company SPARTAN-IIIs Lucy-B091 and Tom-B292. He was a member of Team Saber, one of the leading squads in Gamma Company.
It was said that he had "near magical abilities" when it came to explosives.[2] He always knew when they would explode and when they would fail. Dante was the first fatality of Team Saber during the Battle of Onyx due to a plasma bolt that grazed his left side and Needler rounds, which exposed his ribs, whil helping Lucy drag an injured Frederic-104 to safety after covering the group's rear as they retreated. Dante fell behind as the group retreated, and caught up just when Kurt noticed his disappearance, limping and holding his side. Dante then collapsed and died.
