Trained under the watchful eye of the man that ended a war brought about the land. Dante, a young man that was trained under Corvo Attano, the Lord Protecter, the Living Shadow, the Nightwalker. And many other names that were given to the character he played in the war.

Betrayed by the very ones he trusted. Corvo was granted the power to fight back, but instead of taking his revenge on those that wronged him. He used his powers to end the mindless war without ending a single life. And thanks to him, the rightful crown was returned the land of Gristol. But along the way, towards the end of his journey. Corvo found a young boy being attacked by a group of guards for no reason.

He watched from above as the young boy, although rather small fought back against the guards until Corvo saw that he needed to send this before they killed the child. To Dante the one before him was nothing more then another live he had saved but something was different about this one. For some reason Corvo felt compelled to take this child with him. And as he reached out to the boy. He saw it. The mark that he bore on his left hand, was the same on the right hand fo the young child.

"What is your name little one?"

The boy looked at the man in the mask before him. He held his hand out to him. He was afraid but at the same time he felt the person before him ment him no harm.

"My name is Dante."
