Character History

Growing up on Corellia

Born to an Imperial officer and a teacher, Dante grew up in a fairly stable home situation as his father was normally on the planet while his mother worked at a local school. He was a normal kid who enjoyed sports, games, and eventually girls as he got a bit older. His grades were excellent at school, and his one goal was to become an Imperial officer like his father. The day that his acceptance letter to the Imperial Academy was one of the happiest days of his life.

Imperial Academy

During his first year at the Academy everything was going extremely well until both of us parents died: his father in a shuttle crash and his mother from a rare disease that she contracted on a field trip with her class. After these tragedies, Dante threw himself into his studies. He steadily progressed through his courses, and he was ranked near the top of his class going into his final year. That is when the Empire came apart with the death of the Emperor and the destruction of the second Death Star. Even though the rebel forces hadn't managed to defeat all of the Imperial forces throughout the galaxy, Dante had decided that this version of the Empire wasn't going to last. He packed up his gear, resigned from the Academy, and headed off to Corellia to find work as a bodyguard or a mercenary. As a former top Academy cadet, work wasn't that hard to find, but it wasn't as easy or glamorous as he thought it would be.

Life as a Mercenary

After the training that he had received at the Academy, the technical aspect of being a corporate bodyguard wasn't hard, but the complete decadence that Dante experienced took some getting used to as he watched over the various executives to which he was assigned. During the years before and after the fall of Coruscant, Dante protected a number of these bigwhigs against assasination attempts, kidnappings, and bombings. After one such mission, a uniformed figure came up to him and introduced himself as a recruiter for a special operations unit that was with the Emperor's Hammer, a small part of the Imperial Remnant. The pay seemed good, and Dante had felt the longing for the camaraderie of a small unit. With that, he was on his way towards a new life in the Hammer's Fist Legion on Carrida II.

Imperial Remnant

After completing his basic combat training on Carrida II, Dante was first assigned to patrol duty on Carrida II for Operation Crimewatch. His duties were fairly mundane for awhile, but once the Legion go their marching orders he was on the first shuttle to Flint, a jungle planet on the edges of Emperor's Hammer space. The EH's regular units had been bogged down by heavy rains for almost a month before the Legion arrived with Dante and the rest of his fellow newbies in tow, and the troopers would stay for another month afterwards. On his first mission, the young trooper was paired with Lance Corporal Tacky on a recon sweep that soon went sour. Luckily, the intrepid pair were rescued by their comrades in Vengeance 2, and the New Republic forces were finally defeated on the nasty planet of Trent. This was the first of many in a series of battles that Dante woudl fight in for the Legion, and he steadily worked his way up the chain of command.

Clan Satal Keto and the 4th Great Jedi War: Before the Great Schism

Dante began his Dark Brotherhood career in House Aleema of Clan Satal Keto under the tutelage of Dark Jedi Knight Delak Krennel who was first his platoon commander and then company commander in the Hammer's Fist. Although he focused primarily on his duties as a stormtrooper, Dante was able to rise to the rank of Protector before the events of the Great Schism occurred. His exploits in the 4th Great Jedi War earned the young Dark Jedi a Dark Cross for his tenaciousness in battle. This would be the last time that he would be with his beloved clanmates as many soon departed the Emperor's Hammer for parts unknown, and Dante did not rejoin what was left of his clan as he put himself more into his ground pounder duties as a Company Commander in the Hammer's Fist.

Life Goes On

Rise to Power

End of an Era

First came his second retirement as Prefect of the Hammer's Fist. Then came his retirement as Consul of Clan Arcona. As his obligations to the Emperor's Hammer decreased, his plans for what would come next in his life began coming together. Dante had amassed quite a fortune during his time in the Emperor's Hammer through shrewd investment in some property on Hoth of all things that he had bought in 100 acre portions in his early days as a trooper. With those earnings and those from some other investments, he and his wife were able to beging putting together what would become the foundation for their mercernary group. The plan was to head into the Unknown regions, find a planet that suited them, and then set up shop to be hired out. Just before the Dante's could enact their plan, their ally and the current Grand Master, Blade, was attacked by the Deputy Grand Master La'an. This led to Dante becoming reunited with many of his troopers in the Fist as he commanded the Hammer's Fist flotilla that was launced against the traitor, La'an. After the conclusion of this action, Dante returned to Carrida II, home of his beloved Legion, to find it completely destroyed. The investigation that followed led to another campaign against the attackers who turned out to be behind the plot to assassinate Blade as well. Finally rid of his obligations in the Emperor's Hammer, the Dante's left EH space with a number of ships and about a battalion of troopers for the unknown...

Journey into the Unknown

Return to the Brotherhood

After a mission near the Core Worlds, Dante received a message from his old friend Brent "Archangel" Tainer who was living on Judecca with Clan Scholae Palatinae of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Arch had put out an open invitation years before when he had decided to leave the Emperor's Hammer, but Dante and his troopers had decided to become mercenaries in the Unknown Regions instead. After a number of years of fighting, the Shadowstalkers had decided that it was time for some R&R so the unit moved onwards to Judecca and placed themselves under the command of Clan Scholae Palatinae.

8th Great Jedi War

As Dante had just joined the clan, he wasn't in space with the rest of his new clansmen when the Vong began their invasion.
