## Biography

Working as Devil Hunter, Dante has been exterminating the evil demons and other malevolent supernatural forces for every years. In addition, Dante also finds out about the Hazbin Hotel, Devil Gene, and the most powerful demons in Pentagram City, Overlords. Having heard of the news about huge situation around the world including Hell, Dante along with Raven, Claudio Serafino, Doomguy, Lars Alexandersson, and Judd Whitaker were introducing each other until discussed about it. However when discussing, Alastor came and tried to confront them, then they decided to fight against him, but Dante and his allies lost and were knocked down. Doomguy and Dante retreated and don't want to see Alastor again while someone else admitted their defeat, got to know, and were invited by him to the Hazbin Hotel. Much later, when Dante was in lunch with Claudio at Devil's Diner restaurant, Dante took a call from Raven that he needs them to go to the Hazbin Hotel to hang out with Doomguy, Lars, and Judd again. Arrived at the hotel after their lunch, they continued talking about the same news. However, hearing the announcement of the King of Iron Fist Tournament and several threats on Charlie's business, Raven orders them to protect the Hazbin Hotel, hunt the Overlords, shut down the several evil organizations, and take out their entire enemies.
