Dante Alighieri is the main hero of the video game Dante's Inferno (based upon the book of the same name). A brave and pious crusader, who mistakenly commits many atrocities during the third crusade. For this his soul is dammed to Hell upon death, however he refuses to continue, when he learns this means the damnation of his friends, and thus journeys into Hell to save his beloved Beatrice.

History

Dante was killed during the Seige of Acre, there he met and defeated Death, taking his scythe from him. Returning to Florence, he found his beloved fiance Beatrice Portinari dead. He also has a red tapestry detailing his sins sown on to his chest, detailing the events of his sins.

Realising her death, means her damination because of him, he follows her down into Hell, there guided by Virgil, he fights his way through the nine circles, defeating all manner of monsters and demons, till he manages to save Beatrice. After this he is confronted by Lucifer himself, whom Dante in his quest has unwittingly freed, and plans to rise up and destroy all. However Dante opposes him, and using all the souls he managed to save and redeem against him, he reimprisons Lucifer, and thus earns his redemption. Dante then arrives in Purgatory, and as a final act rips off his tapestry, and goes off on the long quest to make it to heaven.
