*Drusus: "The Leverian... it was floundering, you understand? Going under! All that work I put into it, and so few visited, let alone donated. Oh, I don't mean you, of course. I know you're a friend to the Leverian. It just... wasn't enough. So when Parvos made me an offer... I thought, why not? Just let it go. Let it all go. I took the deal, Tenno. I shouldn't have, but I did. Oh, if only Dante were still around. Please, you must come see me."

Dante served as scribe and a historian. Additionally, he was the main chronicler of the Leverian, a little-known museum named after Drusus Leverian, its curator. A student of history and avid seeker of knowledge, Dante soon became close friends with both Drusus and Albrecht Entrati's assistant, Loid."I cannot lie, Tenno. I have always felt nervous in the presence of warframes. The Orokin twisted people into weapons, and I have seen first-hand the bloody and well-deserved consequences of that act. Dante, though? In his company, I felt no such anxiety. He was warm. Earnest. Literate! A fellow seeker. To know that he perished in these very halls while I slept… is a bitterness to me." - Loid
Due to his nature as a Warframe, Dante was unable to speak with a conventional voice; instead, he spoke through his writing, and his voice was indeed beautiful."Warframes cannot speak, as a rule. Their creator decided they should only scream, or roar, or howl. Dante spoke through his writing, and his voice was beautiful." - Loid
* A natural scholar, Dante possessed an affinity for knowledge, and often shared the Entrati's interest with bones and the dead."Dante shared the Entrati fascination with bones. I was content to let him explore our old burial vaults and ossuaries, but his request to examine my own replicated skull was a step too far. Otherwise his manners were impeccable." - Loid He even went on to publish some of the finest works detailing ancient Earth archaeology, something that was considered impossible for a mere Warframe to accomplish."Dante's works on ancient Earth archaeology were some of the finest in the field. Many back then refused to accept a mere warframe could have written them." - Loid
Dante was one of the few warframes who didn't immediately go mad and join in the Warframe Insurrection. However, he became a wanted fugitive."I remember when we learned of the Warframe insurrections. Their madness, savage and sudden, justifying all the Orokin fear. All their heroic deeds were forgotten in an instant. Those like Dante who had yet to succumb became fugitives. To shelter them meant death - or glassing." - Loid
=== Dante's Investigation ===
When Albrecht disappeared, Dante became eager to unveil the mystery behind the disappearance. After the reappearance of the martian moon, Deimos, he ventured into Albrecht's Laboratories, despite promising Drusus otherwise. Within the hauntingly silent halls, Dante encountered the lab's malfunctioning Necramechs; all acting violent and chanting in eldritch Voidtongue.
As Drusus watched, the wrong-tongued dialect began to worm into Dante's mind, tempting him with his one weakness; the promise of knowledge. He had discovered The Book, an unknown, unearthly tome of knowledge that was laid as a trap by The Indifference as an attempt to seize control of him. As Dante struggled to resist its knowledge, he heard his dear friend say, "Dante, what you have found can never be brought forth. Parvos must never know of this."
Thus, Dante gave up, allowing himself to succumb to the Book's influence and take his life. However, the Book and the hellish words within did not allow Dante to die, and instead altered the very fabric of who the Warframe was. Transported to stars unknown, that wrong-tongued Voice now murmurs endlessly within his head, longing to be known, to exist, and to survive.
