## Appearance

A young man with a fair build body type, medium length hair and has a big scar that goes over his right eye. Being priest Dante has to wear the church's combat uniform, but he wears his own version of it. He wears the standerd black pants and a cassock clergy robe customized to be double-breasted. However, his robe is white and he has a jacket in the same style as the robe. When he wears the jacket he usually has the sleeves rolled up and underneath the robe he wears a black t-shirt with also rolled up sleeves. He wears a satchel around his waist, nunn bush shoes and when it's cold he wears black gloves.

Four years ago he wore pretty much the same outfit. The only diffrence is that he had no scar on his face yet.

In 2011 he wore the standard uniform of the Church: a black cassock clergy robe customized to be double-breasted with a satchel around his waist. He also rolled up his sleeves back then.

## Personality

Four years ago he had a quite laid back attitude for a member of the church. He likes to engage in leisure activities that some might find immoral, but he still has somewhat of moral compas. For example he had hired female escorts with the churches money to keep him company, but not sleep with them. He has also shown to be intelligent as he hired the female escorts to search for a demon or use them for gathering information.

Once he got older he kept his smarts, but let go of this laid back attitude and became much more serious. He also became somewhat more short tempered.

### Prologue

In 2018 Northen Italy, Dante was asked by abott Nicholas to becom Boy's master and train him, as they are short-staffed. Dante finds the kids funny as he watches him from afar as Nicholas tells him Boy could be the strongest exorcist, so he beat god's teachings into it. Dante needs to train him and not teach Boy anything inappropriate that might corrupt him. Dante and Boy leave together and two weeks later stay in another town.

In said town Dante hired three female escorts for both enjoyment and as strategy to find a low level demon; a succubus. Boy angrily scold his master for his behaviour before returning to his room. Dante proceeds to go after him before telling the girls they can keep the money and return home as paying to sleep with a girl is not his style. In Boy's room he tells him the reason they came to this town: a demon has been sighted. His pupil tells him he has monitored the entire town and has not picked any trace of demonic power. He also tells him that he does not lie as his master doubts his words, before Dante tells him he knows where they should look.

One of the female escorts from earlier meets up with her "little sister" Sarah and tries to leave, but before they can leave Dante and Boy intervene in a casual manner. Dante uses his salt abilities to attack, informing the two women it doesn’t effect humans. The succubus shows her true nature, Dante goes after her and tells Boy to look after Sarah. While they fight Boy still does not feel demonic power even though the demon revealed herself. Before Dante finishes the demon off Boy points out the abnormalities. The moment he does Sarah shows her true nature and begins to transform before exploding. Dante is able to save Boy just in time from the explosion as they watch "Sarah" is reborn from the succubus stomach and reveals her to be the demon lord of lust: Asmodeus.

Laughing as she lifts her upper body out, Asmodeus takes to the sky revealing her true form as she tells her ‘big sis’ to return to Gehenna as Leviathan mouth swallows her. As her shadow is cast onto the land below Dante panics that she is one of the big shots while Boy falls to his knees affected by her influence. Telling Boy not to worry Asmodeus smiles and snaps her fingers calling the towns women over so they can pleasure him. As they begin to crowd around Dante who has formed a shield and tells Boy to do the same Asmodeus declades she’ll crush them for ruining her feeding grounds.

Boy struggles but quickly breaks free from the demon lord influence and proceeds to tear out his own right eye. He tells Dante to protect before calling on multiple chains and binding the demon lord, pulling her down from the sky and throwing her onto the ground a fair bit away. Dante is imppressed by his pupil, before Boy goes after the demon lord.

Dante meets up with Boy after he repelled Asmodeus, saying he needs treatment after seeing his right eye is missing. His pupil tells him he doesn't need treatment as he looked at a woman with lust. Realizing what abott Nicholas meant Dante tries to talk some commen sense into Boy, but with little succes. Finally Dante tells him that Boy would not be allowed into heaven as he's not a believer but a slave. Infuriated Boy throws a tantrum and starts hitting his mentor, before admitting he can't live like this.

Dante reassures Boy and tells him to fall in love with someone as that will change the way he will look at the world. Afterwards he tells Boy that his training is complete, seeing as he could repel Asmodeus all by himself. Dante says goodbye to his pupil and tells him he hope that Boy finds happiness in this life.

Between the prolugue and part 1 he got a scar on his face.

### Part 1

At the same time Boy is fighting Mammon, Dante is in Limoges, France. Trying to find the he whereabouts of the witch Vergilius, with the help of Leah and Barbara.

### Part 3

Two days before the online meeting with the church Dante went to a brother to get information about the witch Vergilius. A prostitute tells him she saw him with a girl who recently quit.

Dante is part of a online meeting with on how to handle Beelzebub and the witches. Telling the others to shut up and start the meeting already. He's the first one to tell them his report and says he has found the witch Vergilius with the help of Leah and Barbara. He also tells them that Vergilius has been trying to break the seal on the demon lords finger that the church has. He also denies Barbara's offer to help. After the meeting he goes to the abandoned church where the witches are hidding..

Inside the church he comes face to face with the witches Vergilius and Charlotte. The two males talk, before being interrupted by Charlotte who asks why she's being ingnored. Vergilius had told all witches to run away and while most of the witches evacuated, she insisted on staying to protect the male witch as his intructer. When Dante asks if she's the girl who recently quit working at a brothel, Charlotte attacks him and tells him het got the wrong girl. The two fight and Charlotte does pretty well for herself. She was able to back Dante into a corner but once it looked like the witch was about to win he gained the upper hand by using his miracle. Charlotte is quickly saved by Vergilius and gets healed by him, before being sent away. The two talk some more about the incident in their past before attacking each other.

The male witch shows off Beelzebub's finger before both exorcist and witch release a big attack. After surviving the shockwave when both attacks hit each other, Dante checks if Vergilius also survived. Seeing that the witch did, the exorcist pulls out his gun and shoots a bullet through the other male head. Vergilius survives as the fruits of man's sin doesn't kill him. Dante needs time to power up for another salt pillar attack so he keeps talking to the witch to stall for time. He asks Vergilius what his goal is and the witch reply is simpel: to kill god. As the exorcist prepares to attack again, Vergilius shows that the finger is fake and the real one was already sent off two hours ago. As Dante questions out loud if all this was a distraction, the witch summons a mouth portal from Beelzebub. Telling the exorcist he wanted to see him, bidding him farewell and going into the portal. Closely followed by the priest.

Dante follows Verigilius through the portal, but ends up in Tokyo, Japan. The witch is nowhere in sight and Dante heads for the location of the demon lord. Once there he preforms first aid on Leah and Barbara and stops the black magic contamination. While Leah can fight again, Barbara is still incapable of fighting. He then stops Beelzebub's attack and saves Boy. Confused by his sudden appearance the demon lord asks who he is. Dante answers that he was the pupil of the exorcist who the demon lord killed years ago. Angry Beelzebub response that he doesn't remember every little trifle. He attacks the duo with his miracle, but dante is able to defend and dodge every attack while carrying Boy. Beelzebub attack stops when he's ripped open by Leah. Noticing his body isn't regenerating properly, she comments that angelic power is too much for a worm like him. Thanks to that comment Beelzebub finally remembered his final conversation with mother Rosa, while Boy, Dante and leah work together to get a hit on him.

The demon lord of gluttonny does well holding his own against his three opponents, but when he tries to make a move on Dante his arm is turned into sugary confections by the witch Vergilius who watches the battle from afar. The demon lord realizing he was betrayed quickly cuts off his own arm, while Dante also realized the witch did something. Overwhelmed by his opponents and unable to regenerate quickly enough, Beelzebub tranforms his wings into six eyes to see every possible oncoming attack. But as soon as he does he's blinded by Barbara who just recovered. Using this chance Boy cuts off his other arm, Dante restrains him and Leah goes in for the final blow. Desperatly the demon lord launches one last attack and was able to hit Leah. She doesn't back down and bites off a piece of the demon lord. Beelzebub is defeated and after the gates of Gehenna close shut Leah collapses. Dante and Boy rush to her side.

A few days after Beelzebub is repelled Dante visits Leah and Barbara in the hospital. He stands in front of the later nun's room, not wanting to the disturb their conversation. While waiting he meets up with Boy and Imuri, teasing the former. As the duo argue about the amount the artist can eat he notices how Boy as changed for the better. He smiles and ruffles his pupil's hair, telling Imuri that Boy is a real handful. She smiles and tells the exorcist that it's fine as she's also a handful. Statisfied Dante says goodbye to the duo and leaves.

### Part 5

Dante meets up with Daniel in the new base the church is establishing. The two of them discuss a handful of things: the new base, boy's rehab, Irumi and the movement of the alliance between the witches and Tachibana. During this discussion Dante mentions that Boy's current rehab plan sounds like a dumb idea, questions on how the church should handle Imuri and gives a report on Tachibana and her alliance with the witches. At the end the exorcist remarks that the current situation is looking bad.
