Angelo Dante

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 had won a great victory, Dante was still a firm believer in the Empire. He graduated with honors, was commissioned as a 2nd LT, and soon was leading an elite stormtrooper unit on the front lines against the rebels.

Before the Great Schism

Dante began his Dark Brotherhood career in House Aleema of Clan Sato Ketal 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.

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...

7th 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.
