Biography
Dante entered the SPARTAN-III program, developed by James Ackerson, around 2546 while between the age of 5 and 7 when he, along with other orphans, volunteered to become a Spartan to avenge his family or home planet after their destruction by the Covenant. Once on Onyx, he and the other spartan candidates were trained by Senior Chief Petty Officer Mendez; surviving Beta Company SPARTAN-IIIs Lucy-B091 and Tom-B292; and SPARTAN-II, Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose a.k.a. SPARTAN-051. He was in Team Saber, one of the leading squads in the Gamma generation of Spartan III's.
He had near magical abilities when it came to explosives[2]. He always knew when they would explode, and when they would fail too. He was the first casualty of Team Saber due to a combination of plasma fire and needler rounds to his side while helping Lucy-B091 drag Fred to safety (Fred having been shot by a Hunter's Fuel Rod Cannon); after covering the group's rear as they retreated. Dante was reunited with Kurt, where they stood at attention and saluted the Lieutenant Commander stating "Sir, I think I got nicked." After that Dante collapsed, and his bio-signs flat-lined. When Kurt checked his body he realized that not only had a plasma bolt grazed Dante's left side but also half a dozen needler shards had lodged and detonated under his arm and across his chest, leaving his ribs clearly visible[3]. They carried him into the Shield World where he was buried alongside SPARTAN-043 "William".
