Dante
From Lexicanum
Commander Dante is one of the most experienced and able Space Marine Commanders. In no small part, this is due to the longevity of the Blood Angels, which he has ruled for 1,100 years. He is held in awe by leaders of other Chapters, who can remember him being a famous commander when they were in the scout company. Because of his reputation, when it came to choosing a leader for the Armageddon intervention, the Masters of the other two Chapters taking part (Salamanders and Ultramarines) unanimously asked for him to be placed in charge.
As a leader, Dante is utterly fearless, and full of drive and initiative. If his opponents ever make a mistake Dante is on it in a flash, and he always exploits their error to the fullest. He has a reputation for leading from the front and can usually be found where the battle is fiercest, plummeting from the skies at the head of his personal bodyguard, a halo of power playing around his head.
Quotes
- "For eleven hundred years, I have fought and I have seen the darkness in our galaxy. I have seen the vileness of the alien and the heresy of the mutant. I have witnessed the sin of possession. I have seen all the evil that the galaxy harbors, and I have slain all whose presence defiles the Emperor. I have seen what you will see. I have fought what you must fight, and I have slain what you must slay..."2
