→History
Commander Dante has led the Blood Angels to some of their greatest victories, from the bloody campaigns in Ultima Macharia to the Liberation of Canau. He clove the mighty [[Bloodthirster]] [[Skarbrand]] in two at the Gates of Pandemonium and drove the [[Ork]]s from the twelve worlds of Blackfang.<sup>3</sup>
Perhaps his most famous victories were in the [[Second War for Armageddon]], where his leadership allowed the beleaguered defenders to triumph over the fury of [[Waaagh!]] [[Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka|Ghazghkull]]. There he led the valiant strike against the Orks attacking [[Hive Acheron]], where the horde was ripped asunder by cannon and bomb as Dante spearheaded the reinforcements. And it was in the closing stages of the war that Dante's tactical genius finally broke the back of the Ork army, leading a massed [[Drop Pod]] assault against the Orks assaulting Tartarus Hive, his Blood Angels slaying fully half of the Orks and driving them back to the ash wastes and jungles.<sup>3</sup>
In the closing days of the 41st Millennium, heroes like Dante are points of light in the growing darkness. He stands, as he has done for a millennium or more, between the enemies of Mankind and the Imperium.<sup>3</sup>
