Name: Dante Sallow

Backstory: 

The life of Dante has been a tumultuous one to say the least. Dante was born due to a drunken one night stand between two beings that were considered to be utterly incompatible genetically to produce offspring. Yet Dante was born so for the first four years of his life he was raised in his place of birth believed to be simply a pure born Reaper. Though things were not so simple, at the age of four in school Dante was attacked by a larger child and in retaliation Dante turned and bit him. This was the first time Dante had ever used his venom rendering the dose so strong the other boy was liquified over the course of thirty agonising seconds. After this his mother Vera took him and his little sister Renee alongside Dantes stepfather Dom and fled to the United Kingdom where Dante was then raised. Due to having to live in constant hiding with pairs of Varrant sent every few years to take them out, Vera had Dante trained vigorously for many years and honed into a force of nature capable of fighting off those same teams of Varrant himself

Years later Dante travelled to Halifax, Canada with the rest of his family as Vera had been asked to take over the presidency of a club known as the Devoted Spirits. This club had a significant meaning to Dante also as his Mother had found out that his real Father was in fact the Sgt at Arms of the club. He’d never met his father and had spent many years wondering what he was like and if he would ever get to meet him and now to find out that they were going to go and meet him, he was beyond excited to see what kind of person his Father was. But fate had other ideas. The day prior to them reaching the club his Father, Beep had discovered that several teams of Varrant had been dissipated in a never seen before operation to eliminate the Sallow family for their perceived crimes against the bloodline. Beep had manage to trick the teams into believing he was travelling to pick them up from a location far from the city. There he had rigged the entire place with explosives to level the building. On top of that he had set up multiple white phosphorus bombs to go off at the same time debilitating the group enough so they couldn’t escape. Unfortunately the group arrived too early and Beep had been caught in a vicious fight against four teams, one for each Sallow family member.

Having no chance for escape, Beep engaged in a vicious fight that lasted hours before he had finally been incapacitated by the group. He’d managed to take out two of them and cause injury to most of the others but three of his arms were missing, half his head was gone and his legs had been blown to pieces. There was no escape now. So as one of the men stepped forwards with a scythe raised to deliver the finishing blow they asked if he had any last words. Spitting out ichor as he lifted his last hand holding the detonator, the Hive Emperor gave out one last chuckle and his final word “Beep!” His thumb slamming down on the button and lighting all of them up in a bright white light that buried them all under thousands of tonnes of rubble. This video was able to be found by one of the members of the DSMC to show his last moments. Seemingly knowing he wasn’t coming back, Beep had left behind several things for Dante. These were the vest he wore to this day, handmade by his Father, his Fathers motorcycle and a letter left addressed to him and Vera. A second one had been addressed to all other DSMC members asking simply “Please look after Beeps son”. This entire situation caused a divide in Dante making something deep inside him snap. After this he would often spend entire weeks away from home hunting down and viciously killing groups of Varrant in his own acts of vengeance. 

Many nights Dante had returned covered in blood and injuries, yet no matter what his family always took care of him afterwards. After a time Dante had eventually managed to calm down enough to see reason, no longer running off to play vigilante.

Eventually he focused instead on becoming someone his Father could be proud of and ended up stepping into his Fathers footsteps as the new Sgt at Arms for the DSMC.
