Dante Judas Caine

Dante Judas Caine (born Virgil Caine) was a PC in CITADELS. He is a Tiefling Rogue played by Charlie, and was the first character made for the campaign. Dante is the elder brother of Bliss, and is a cis male using he/him pronouns.

Pre-Campaign
Not much is known about Dante's past by many, aside from Bliss. The only things that are known are that he has been participating in Riot activity for a long time. He and Gravel have a past, working together on multiple jobs. There is bad blood between them because of one of those jobs. There is also very clearly a past with E-sec, with Dante's violent hatred of the organization on full display. Right before entering Spice City, he dragged Bliss on a job to assassinate someone he was told was named Chip. The occurring chase went on the news, gaining a lot of attention.

Season I: HELLO DARKNESS
Entering Spice City, he wanders into the bathroom, finding his target and eliminating it. It was revealed that it was a droneforged, set up by E-SEC for a sting operation. Fleeing from E-SEC, he showed both his skill as a driver, and his reckless nature, driving a truck into 4 E-SEC vans. After the party was hit by the Dimensional Warper, Dante picked one of the locks on the door to the puzzle room. Upon entering the Gentleman's Theater, he immediately started drinking, blacking out soon after.

During a lull in the adventure, Dante dragged Bliss along for a mission to retrieve his stolen motorcycle from a gang called the Purple Street Gang. Killing many of them, the mission was a resounding success, even if Dante and Bliss almost died. After, the party confronted Dante about his recklessness, which he waved off.

Continuing the adventure, the party went to the house of Parzival, a friend of Dante's who was captured by E-SEC. There they met Sophie, a young detective. Dante stayed distant from her, feeling like she's slow them down and get in the way. Joining the party in raiding an E-SEC records office, Dante was experiencing mental problems, sparked randomly for an unknown reason. After escaping the office, after obtaining important information pertaining to Parzival's capture, he came back to the Boys' hideout, talking to Brutalizer about a job. He told him about a cult massacre, where Dante brought the party. Sophie was shot and killed, and Dante, along with the rest of the party, chased after the Deacon that killed her.

Going underground to chase the Deacon, The party faces many disturbing monsters, including the nightmarish "Gardener". In the underground den of the cult, Dante assisted in picking off the lesser foes, lurking in the shadows with his firearms. He also killed the Priest, saving Gravel from the banishment effect placed on her. Afterwards, Dante led a toast to honor Sophie and Logos, who died in the skirmish.

Returning to the Boys hideout, his party was given a place to stay to lay low for a week to reduce attention from E-SEC. During this time, Dante and Daithi get "closer", Dante speaks with Gravel about her recent altercation with House Purity, and goes on an assassination job to kill the wealthy patron of a politician.

Leading the party to Purgatory, where Dante was told Parzival was being held, Dante tries to restrain Bliss when she loses control because of the unknown entity. He then heard a familiar Tiefling female, the entity speaking to him through the voice in his head. Throughout the rest of the journey through Purgatory, he visibly becomes more violent and angry. Going down an elevator, he receives a call from Mudd, a Goblin Wereboar, who sets off the crash of the elevator. Dragged out of the crashed elevator, Mud confronts him, revealing that he killed Val, another member of a party they both were in in the past. Mudd then beat Dante to near-death, and gored him with his tusk, passing the lycanthropic curse to him.

Waking up from the beatdown, he was immediately confronted by Bliss, who noticed his wounds from Mudd. Dante dismissed her, promising to tell her when they escape. Assisting the party in their liberation of the Drow, Dante does his typical picking off the weak fodder enemies.

As the party reached Euryale, Dante let the other members of the party talk, but quickly gets bored and initiates the fight when Mud and a reanimated Sapphire join in the standoff. When Dante runs to cover, to get a better vantage point against Mudd, Mudd hits Bliss, hard, which incenses Dante. He swiftly attacks Mudd with a silver pocket knife, courtesy of Daithi. When Mudd vanishes, Dante turns his attention to Euryale, and engages in aerial combat. When Euryale is defeated, he creeps up to him, taking his time to speak. Euryale asks who he is, and Dante removes his mask, unknowingly revealing his face to the party. Being recognized as "Vergil Fucking Caine", Dante violently kills Euryale, stabbing him repeatedly.

Personality
Dante is narcistic, arrogant, and brash. These traits led him to be loathed by most of the party, either seeing him as too loud, annoying, or reckless. He is also as distrusting as he is untrustworthy, is paranoid of everyone, and is obsessed with knowing as much as he can about everyone. Despite being the rogue, he tends to be the first to run headfirst into his problems. He is fiercely protective of his loved ones, even if it gets him into trouble. As the epitome of Chaotic Evil, he will do anything to further his ends.

Bliss
''“Bliss’s my blood, and if hers is spilled, so will yours. It’s my responsibility to make sure she doesn’t get hurt, and nothing’s gonna stop me. I do kinda wish she's let me teach her how to use a gun though, just in case.”''

Daithi
''“Fuck this guy. I’m sick of his bullshit. Constantly singling me out to bitch at me, and if he swings at me again, I'm taking his hand off. The only reason I haven't killed him in his sleep yet is because Bliss doesn't want me to, and when i do, i want it to be slow and agonizing…”''

Gravel
''“As a co-worker, she’s a damn good shot, tracker, and overall assassin. Now that we’ve been interacting with each other in this little squad of ours, I realize how much of a pain in the ass she is. I know why she doesn't like me, but damn, she could relax every once in a fucking while.”''

The Collective
''“I’m gonna be honest, I find it hilarious that it took me so long to figure out that the chefs were all the same entity. The Orc’s a cool guy, the tiny one’s a little too chattery, Dy’s lax, and Pepper’s a bitch. Also, fuck Timothy.”''

Thia
''“Never really talked to her, but she’s really fucking annoying. If I hear her flex her two PHDs or whatever one more time, she’s gonna have a hole in her head. To be fair, she's clever, but not enough to deserve that much leniency.”''

Logos
''“Logos was a good dude. Great guy to get a drink or get high together. It was a damn shame what happened to him. I hope one day we can share another drink.”''

Sophie
"Damn kid wouldn't just fuck off and got herself killed. Worst part is that most of my compatriots got attached to her, so when she died it was 'wahhh little detective girl died, booo hoooo'."

Sapphire
"Seemed interesting enough. Still want her guns though..."
