History:
He grew up in an abusive home and hated his parents. His mother was terminally ill and was also bipolar and addicted to drugs, and his father was an abusive alcoholic. He met his best friend Eric at the age of five in kindergarten and they stuck together ever since. When he turned twelve his Eric's father enrolled them both in a Shotokan dojo to learn self defense. At the age of fourteen he went to his first karate tournament and won a gold medal in sparring while Eric took gold in forms. They were inseparable and they became like brothers doing everything together.
Then one night when he was sixteen his father attacked him and he fought back sending him to the hospital. His mother was distraught and kicked him out of the house. He had nowhere to go so he went to his Eric and his parents and they gave him a place to stay. He finished his sophomore year with them then turned seventeen and went into his junior year of highschool. In the middle of his junior year Dante and Eric were walking home together after school when five guys stepped out of an alleyway. They were going to rob them but while doing so Eric saw one of their faces. They decided to kill the boys instead of leave witnesses and started trying to beat them. Both boys fought ferociously knowing their lives hung in the balance and fought with desperation unmatched. Dante always had been a little better of a fighter and as Eric went down beside him he saw one of the boys hit him in the head with a pipe killing him. Tears filled his eyes and Dante fought not only for survival but to avenge his friend as well. However this was not enough and he was slowly beaten down then as he laid there his vision fading he saw a shadowy figure emerge from what seemed like nowhere and dispatch his attackers with ease. He tried to crawl towards his friend but his arms gave out and he faded into unconsciousness. When he finally awoke he was in a large room and his throat was burning, but he felt stronger and faster than he ever had in his life.
He was confused until al of his memory came washing back to him and he broke down. Finally he had o idea where he was so he went to investigate to his surprise there was already a man in the room with him. This man told him what had happened and explained to him what he was now and what had happened. Dante was overwhelmed and didn't know how to respond so he just sat silently. After a long while he finally asked the other man "what is your name?". The man answered with one word before leaving the room "Nathaniel". That had been nearly two months ago and Dante was comfortable with his new self and his surroundings.
Other: What makes Dante truly special is his innate sixth sense it is not foolproof but he has impeccable gut instincts. He has a natural sense of intuition which helps him.
