Dante

Dante was once a knight with legendary achievements, but has spent his more recent years living peacefully in the Wastelands, only lifting his weapon to protect his village from witches. 

The Varkhart clan rules the [fire dragon kingdom name]. It was once foreign to the Immortal City, but since it overthrew the previous ruling clan, it has integrated into [tbn] society. The clan has produced many rulers and blacksmiths, but also several warriors such as Dante. He joined the Templar Knights during John's earlier years as Grandmaster and eventually became a Paladin (top-ranking member of Templars). He grew close to Rosemary Grimadorne and defended her when she was exiled. The conflict led him to leave the Templars and to be exiled separately from her. He searched for her and her newborn son, but the curse that prevented him from finding any leads only broke when she died. [x] years later, he rescued Hayden from the bubble he was placed in by Rosemary and adopted him.
