Dante (Empiateo)

Dante is the leader, founder, and charged guardian of Empiateo.
== Appearance ==
Dante is a large, purple guardian with black wings. His scales sport a chaotic pattern of wiggly lines and small freckle-like patches in different shades of purple, which condense into smaller and less defined patterns as they approach his head.
He normally wears comfortable clothing, in soft, shimmering fabrics.
Most of Dante's movements are notably low to the ground, as he attempts to appear smaller. He often moves his cheek fins and neck crest in an imitation of fae body language.

== Personality ==
Dante is generally described as gentle, idealistic, and forgiving. He's quick to offer kindness to dragons who may otherwise be outcast, heedless of their intentions. He's known to be meek, unwilling to fight even in retaliation and disliking hunting. What he lacks in offensive willingness, he makes up for with an insistent dedication to protecting those around him. 
== History ==
Dante was first found as an egg by the scavengers of a yet-unnamed fae clan. The clan's oracle claimed it to be a gift from the Arcanist and foresaw him to be a protector of the clan, giving him his name before he was hatched.
At Search age, Dante grew restless. His attempts to convince himself that he was charged with his home clan became futile and, with the help of Mirta, he fled in search of his true charge.

Dante regards his son Santino with pride, often praising his prowess in battle, mediation, and lithomancy. Despite this, he harbors a growing guilt knowing his son is ill prepared for life outside of their clan and dreads the day his Search begins, fearing he may feel the same restrictions Dante once did in his birth clan.
