Dante (SMT)

* SMT III
* Dx2

## Summary

"A demon hunter who ventured into the Vortex World. He wields his two guns, Ebony and Ivory, along with his trusty sword, Rebellion. It is said that he has the blood of the legendary demon warrior Sparda in him."

Dante is a recurring boss and a recruitable party member in Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, as well as a gacha drop in Dx2: Liberation. He is a very cocky man who likes to have fun and play around with his opponents, mainly becoming serious when faced with stronger opponents, but he does have a somewhat caring side as shown in the DMC novels when he decides to donate most of his fees to the family of his best friend when they're left without a father.

The SMT Nocturne version of Dante is based on his DMC2 iteration, so presumably, everything that happened during his childhood(Events shown in Vision of Vs), teenage years(events on Morris Island), young adult years (DMC novel and DMC3) and adult years (DMC1, DMC TAS, and DMC2) happened to him as well. His Dx2 Iteration is based on his DMC5 version prior to fighting Urizen, so he is yet to unlock "Sin Devil Trigger"
