Dante | 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 [[SPARTAN-III Beta Company|Beta Company]] SPARTAN-IIIs [[Lucy-B091]] and [[Tom-B292]]. | ||

On [[2552#October|October 31, 2552]], Dante and Team Saber were competing for top honors with Gamma Company's other teams near [[Zone 67]] when they came under attack by [[Onyx Sentinel|Sentinels]]. Forced to halt their training exercise due to the attack,<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 117-119''</ref> Dante and Team Saber successfully evaded the drones until regrouping with other UNSC forces at [[Camp Currahee]].

With their help, Team Saber destroyed a pair of Sentinels before retreating to Zone 67,<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 261''</ref> which revealed to house an enormous Forerunner city.

With the Covenant closing in, Kurt ordered Dante to place [[C-12 shaped charge]]s around the domed structure. When the Covenant breached the structure's interior, he and the others were ordered to fall back into the map room. After covering the group's rear, Dante and Lucy helped drag an injured [[Frederic-104]] to safety.

Dante was mortally wounded when his left side was grazed by a [[plasma]] bolt and a number of [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|Needler]] rounds exploded on his chest, exposing his ribs. 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.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 304-309''</ref> | ||
The others wrapped Dante's body in a [[thermal blanket]],<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 317''</ref> and eventually took it to the [[ONI Research Facility Trevelyan|shield world]], where he was buried by the survivors of the battle who then held a funeral service to him and the other fallen Spartans.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 378-379''</ref> | |||
