History
Born to a young lady named Isabella Darkheart and an unknown father. However, she had promised herself to be turned to vampirism in turn for service to the guardian in the Crimson Alliance . The baby was born with a tattoo on his left shoulder blade. She gave the baby up to a Yew family, the Klawstors, to be looked after. The Baby’s name was Dante. When the boy was age twelve he witnessed his adopted parents murdered by a hulking methuselah of a vampire named Watchet. Somehow the boy was spared as he was hidden in the cellar of the modest house. Isabella lived in the Necropolis, not far from the Klawstor farmhouse. When she made her rounds to check on her son and his adopted family a few days after the incident she found the boy half starved. She thought it best to send her son to Brittain to live with an old friend, Engrimm. Engrimm tutored the boy for the next five years into early manhood.
Dante would frequently visit his mother in the Necropolis. However, one time she wasn’t there and her friends had not seen her for several days. Dante set out to find her. He searched high and low. Clues were pointing to a small kingdom in Northwood called Winterfell. Winterfell was a small conservative kingdom despite knowingly sharing their territory with a coven of Vampires called the Covenant of Blood. From what Dante could detect Isabella had been trying to earn the trust of the Coven to try to merge the Covenant of Blood with the Crimson Alliance. Dante suspected a vampire of the Covenant betrayed her. He did his best to hide who he was in relation to Isabella. Despite the business nature of Dante’s visit to this kingdom he enjoyed his time there especially when in the company of a young girl named Sabrina. Eventually, he came upon one of Isabella’s arrows stuck in a tree deep in the woods not too far from Winterfell. He noticed the leaf bed was greatly disturbed. He followed the path to the base of a tree where he found Isabella’s body drained of all its blood. Her body was covered in large slashes. It reminded him of the work of the vampire that slayed his adoptive parents five years earlier. Engrimm had told him tales of the vampire and how it had hunted Darkhearts for generations and that was one reason why Isabella wanted to become a vampire. It seemed it was now the reason Dante felt he had to become a vampire. Dante took Isabella’s body back to the Necropolis. From there her body was prepared for burial and taken to the Demon Temple on Fire Isle where she was turned and her body was cast into one of the lava flows. Dante asked to be turned by Isabella’s closest friends Skry and Synnabel but they obeyed Lilith Stynovitch and Ceverin’s orders to not turn Dante. Dante felt betrayed but understood the rules they had in place. In the Brittanian cities the factions had begun a massive civil war that was tearing Sosoria apart. Dante went back to Northwood to plead his case to Myca. Myca had little respect for Isabella and even less for Dante so it seemed odd at the time that he so readily agreed. Dante was lead to the center of the hedge maze on the night of a full moon. There one of Myca’s lieutenants, Alex Kumar, turned Dante. After the change was complete Myca gave Dante a two minute head start before setting his coven on a hunt after Dante through the hedge maze. It was this very night that Nystul created Trammel which allowed Dante to escape. Dante sought refuge with Isabella’s friend Skry. It was Skry that taught Dante of how to be a vampire. Skry even taught Dante the forbidden act of dialberie, the theft of a vampire’s last essence of life. The two began tracking down Watchet. They eventually came upon him in the valley near Wind. Dante impetuously attacked the methuselah only to be killed if he were a mere mortal. He quickly healed and the two attacked again. They managed to fight Watchet for nearly eight hours but the sun was coming up soon. The two should have been ripped apart and died several times over had they not been vampires themselves. Synnabel showed up to aid the two. Watchet was now trying to make a mad dash for his den where the three followed. Skry managed to pin Watchet by his arm to a timber holding the old mine up. Dante jumped on the methuselah’s back and began to drink his blood. Skry and Synnabel began to drink as well. Watchet grew weaker by each drop of blood consumed. Skry and Synnabel stopped drinking as they could be punished for dialberizing such an ancient methuselah. Dante continued drinking. Dante began to take on Watchet’s essence. Dante’s finger nails turned to claws which dug into Watchet’s flesh. Finally Watchet went completely limp as Dante absorbed the last of Watchet’s vitae. Dante reverted back to his less feral form and sat laughing covered in blood. Dante could feel his power had grown many times greater than in had been just a few hours earlier. The three slept in the mine that day. When night fell Skry and Synnabel waited outside of the mine while Dante Broke the timbers holding up the ceiling of the mine just barely making it out in time and burying Watchet body deep below the rubble. Skry and Synnabel went back to the Necropolis. Dante returned to Northwood to find out that the Kingdom of Winterfell had relocated to a small keep in Trammel called Stark Keep while they built their new Kingdom in a similar region as their former home of Northwood. This region later became known as Enden. It had been a month since his blood hunt began. With his new power he decided to put them all on a blood hunt of his own. He snuck into the hedge maze. The first of Myca’s Brood to be cut down was Burzum a young vampire followed by Konrad Von Noctis. Konrad was quite the challenge until Dante ripped off his sword arm. Alex Kumar, his own sire, even fell to Dante and his stolen power. Dante finally stalked behind Daca, Myca’s favorite, and took him hostage. Myca not wanting to see his favorite harmed reluctantly called off the blood hunt. Dante went back to Winterfell to resume what he had hoped would be a peacefull life. Despite no one of Winterfell knew he was a vampire he resigned himself to only feeding off animals. He ran a night watch of the kingdom. One night he was tracking a band of orcs that had passed through the area. He followed the orcs deep into the forest to their camp. He slaughtered most of the orcs. One member, Brok’orba was allowed to live to tell other orcs to fear and respect Winterfell. When Brok’orba left Dante still heard a wimpering. He found a young girl about his age tied up and stuffed into a large wooden chest. She was badly injured but Dante managed to heal her by feeding her his blood. Her name was Ceini. Dante provided a home for Ceini to live in and over the following year they grew fond of each other. Ceini asked for Dante to turn her but Dante refused because he allowed himself to be turn for a purpose. In those days it was widely believed that progeny would be damned to relive the sins of their sires. Dante thus saw his and Myca’s mutual betrayal as a sign of such an impure bloodline. Though he did not confess this fear with Ceini, he did bring her to Skry and Synnabel. The Crimson Alliance was falling apart. The elders left the Alliance to form a new clan and released all their progeny to shape their own destinies if they so desired. Skry and Synnabel left the alliance and the service of their masters, Ceverin and Lilith Stynovitch. The four went to the Demon Temple on Fire Isle as the vampires of the Alliance had done for generations. Skry drained Ceini and Synnabel gave Ceini her vitae while Dante held off the Dragons and Demons of the temple. Hours later Ceini awoke in Skry’s Britain apartment as a fledgling vampire. Dante then took Ceini on her first hunt.
