Dante (Shin Megami Tensei)



"You think you're playing with fire ?...You're gonna get more than just burned"

Character Synopsis
Dante is a character that originally is from Devil May Cry, but makes an appearance in the Shin Megami Tensei series. He is first mentioned in pre-Conception Tokyo, where he is described by a passerby as a "strange foreigner wearing a red cloak and carrying a big sword." After the Conception, he survives, and his role of being a demon slayer comes into light. He would later show up in Ikebukuro, territory of the Mantra demons. After the Demi-fiend prevails in the Mantra's court of strength, the Candelabrum of Sovereignty starts to flicker wildly. Noticing the change, the Demi-fiend soon sees Dante, who leaps down from the highest level of the tower and suddenly forces him into battle. Dante would go on to encounter Demi-Fiend many other times during the course of Nocturne, where he can potentially become a part of Demi-Fiend's  canonical party
