Changes

Luis{{Fn|88b}} Dante was born in 447.[[M40]]{{Fn|6a}} on [[Baal Secundus]] ([[Baal]]'s second moon) and his growth was stunted by malnutrition and radiation.{{Fn|5}} Dante was part of his planet's salt clans, a nomadic people that travelled the salt deserts (former seas) of Baal Secundus to harvest its salt, selling it at various permanent settlements at the salt deserts' borders. His mother died giving birth to his deadborn stillborn younger brother, and he was thus raised by his father [[Arreas]]. His childhood was hard, with his clan facing dangerous wildlife, human raiders, and an extremely hostile environment; most clan members died before their 30th year. From an early age, Dante felt the desire to help others and make a difference; thus, he was drawn to the idea of becoming a Blood Angel. His father -, who did not want to lose his last living relative- , forbid him from partaking in the [[Angel's Fall]] trials to determine the next [[Aspirant]]s. Undeterred, Dante regretfully left in secret, crossing the [[Great Salt Waste]] alone to reach the trials.{{Fn|6a}}{{Fn|6c}} He almost died of thirst, but also first experienced a vision of the [[Sanguinor]] who guided him to a mummified corpse with intact water flasks, saving his life and allowing him to continue his journey.{{Fn|6c}}

When he took part in his clans trials at the Place of Challenge he showed no special promise, but nonetheless survived. Afterwards he was inducted by [[Chaplain]] [[Malafael]] into the [[Blood Angels]] Chapter as an [[Aspirant]] under [[Sanguinary Priest]] [[Araezon]]. He first drew notice when during his transformation after drinking the [[gene-seed]] synthesized blood of [[Sanguinius]], he went into a year long coma and cried out the names of fallen primarchs, dark gods, and long-banished [[Daemon]]s. Upon emerging Dante was trained to become a battle-brother, then - Brother-Sergeant.{{Fn|5}} He reached the rank of [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] in '''753.M40'''.{{Fn|6b}} Later he took part in the [[Kallius Insurrection]] of [[M40]], where every Captain of the Blood Angels but Dante himself was slain, and it was decided by the gathered [[Chaplain]]s and [[Sanguinary Priest]]s that he would become the new [[Chapter Master]].{{Fn|5}}

Yet for all of his success, or perhaps because of it, Dante had grown weary of his burdens. He had lived far longer than he should, and the burden of centuries grew even weightier. Only one thing prevented Dante from succumbing to ennui- recorded in the Scrolls of [[Sanguinius]] were the [[Primarch]]s visions of a great battle to overshadow all others, where one golden warrior would stand between his [[Emperor]] and the darkness. For many generations of the Blood Angels, these prophecies had been read as Sanguinius's foreknowledge of his own fate. Yet through some instinct- perhaps a lingering trace of his Primarch's fabled far-seeing eye, or his own prophetic dreams of the golden warrior ,{{Fn|8a}}, Dante believed otherwise. He frequently believed that one day, the defence of the Emperor would possibly rest in his hands, and he aimed to fulfil that final duty.{{Fn|4}}

This belief would come to be understood finally during the [[Devastation of Baal]], when Dante led the Blood Angels and their successor chapter's in a final stand against [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]]. During the battle Dante managed to slay the [[Swarmlord]] but was badly wounded in the process. As he lay dying, he saw a vision of the Sanguinor and [[Sanguinius]] himself. Relieved that his duty was finally over, Dante was about to pass into death when Sanguinius told him to live and that his time was not yet done. Distressed, Dante begged Sanguinius to let him die and take his soul with him, but was suddenly revived on the battlefield.{{Fn|8b}} Fortunately for the Chapter Master, Baal was saved by [[Roboute Guilliman]] and the [[Indomitus Crusade]], {{Fn|7}} who commended him for saving half the galaxy from the terror of the Hive Fleet .{{Fn|8b}}

Dante's [[Artificer Armour]] incorporates a [[Jump Pack]] and the [[Death Mask of Sanguinius]], a golden mask said to have been modeled on the features of the [[Blood Angels]]' [[Primarch]] [[Sanguinius]]. A halo of golden energy plays about Dante's head striking terror into the hearts of his enemies. Dante is also armed with the [[Axe Mortalis]] and the [[Perdition Pistol]].{{Fn|2}}. Since Dante [[Rubicon Primaris|became]] a [[Primaris Space Marine]], both weapons have now been upscaled to suit his newly massive frame.{{Fn|14}}
