Dante Cross

"I've been around since the first Vampires and Humans came to this world". Dante talking to Hanabusa Aido

Appearance
Dante has brown hair (similair to Yuki's), he has amber eyes but doesn't have pale skin like Vampires. When he has his powers awakened, he has silver hair and violet eyes and pale skin.

Powers and Abilities
Being a Full Blooded Demon, Dante has different powers and abilites. He has some similair abilites to Vampires, such as quick healing, speed and strength, but his Demons abilites enchance some of the abilities such as strenght and speed. Dante's Demon abilities are different elements and powers:

- Fire- Dante's flames are violet, he can generate fire and use different fire (if Akatsuki sets Dante on fire, he will survive and it will change to violet and he will be able to use it).

- Time- Dante can slow time down giving him the advantage to fight his enemies (Like Quicksilver in Devil May Cry 3), he can only use this when he has had his powers awakened.

- Water- Dante use's water rarely, he will either use it to heal wounds (mostly for Humans or Vampires who have been wounded by Hunter Weapon) and to create a shield around others.

- Electricity- When using this power, Dante can teleport around, he cannot take anyone with him when doing this, as it will kill them due to the electricity.

- Devil Trigger- Like every Demon, Dante has his Demon form, he can channel it anytime he wants, but only for a short time as it drains his energy and makes him really tired and hungry, it makes his other abilites stronger as well as his weapons.

- Air- Dante use's this to cut his enemies down with the wind, he only use's this to open alcohol bottles or to cut his food quicker.

- Vampire Powers- If Dante drinks from a Vampire (even a drop of their blood) it gives him their abilites and memories, he use's to take down an enemy Vampire.

History
Dante's history is a blur, no one knows where the Demons came from but only to know that they came when the Humans and Vampires came into the world. Dante was one of the first Demons, he became the first Kuran's Servant, due to him being the strongest out of the Demons, Dante fought with the Vampires but did secret jobs for his first MasterKaname Kuran, Dante was given orders to kill Vampires and Demons, if needed to.

Through the years, Dante has had different Masters till one day, he was given to a Pureblood Vampire named Rido Kuran, he hated serving under him but he had to do what he had been doing for most of his life, Dante was told by Rido Kuran  to capture Rido's younger sister Juri Kuran, Dante did so. As Dante caputred Juri, he fights against Haruka Kuran  who was trying to protect Juri, Dante defeats him but only hurts him, Dante takes Juri to Rido but asks what Rido wants with her, Rido tells Dante that he wants to devour her blood and become stronger, Dante refuses to hand Juri over to him and tells him that he shouldn't do it but Rido attacks Dante wounding him, he throws Dante away and takes Juri away, Dante tries to go after Rido but is attacked by Rido's vampire servants, but due to his wounds he is overwhelmed till Haruka comes and helps Dante, he asks where Juri is and Dante tells him that Rido has taken her, the both of them face Rido and save Juri as Rido runs away.

Dante is thrown into a cell by the Vampire Senate for turning against Rido, they tell Juri that they are going to execute him in the morning, Juri asks Asato Ichijo  to let Dante live, but he tells her that he had commited a crime that cannot be forgotten, Haruka tells Ichiou that Dante had made a blood bond with Juri during his fight with Rido, and that he was ordered by Juri to protect her, Juri admits to it but it doesn't change Ichiou's decision, Dante laughs at him and tells him that the blood bond was made with Juri only, and like his first master Kaname Kuran, they too had made a blood bond with each other, Juri tells Ichiou that if he doesn't let Dante go, then she would unleash her power and take down th entire building, Ichiou finally lets Dante go, Dante goes with Juri and Haruka and serves Juri till he is past down to the next Kuran.

Years later, Juri has a son named Kaname, Juri asks Dante to go into town to get some supplies, Dante goes into the town but is attacked by a large group of Level E Vampires, Dante fights them but leaves one alive, he asks it who sent then to kill Dante, it tells him that their Master Rido Kuran had sent them to distract Dante so that he could get the Kuran son, Dante kills the Level E and runs back to Juri and Haruka but is too late as Rido had taken the baby Kaname and disappeared, Juri orders Dante to go after him and to bring back Kaname. Dante found out where Rido had gone, it was the tomb of the Ancestor Kaname Kuran, Rido told Dante that he was too late and that he had sacrifced the baby Kaname and has awaken the Ancestor Kaname, Dante and Rido fight for a bit, Dante is wounded badly and watches as his first Master awakens, Rido trys to drink from him but it backfires and Dante watches as Kaname drinks from Rido nearly killing him, Kaname tells Dante to take him back to Juri and Haruka and never say anything about what had happened, Dante agrees to this and Kaname transforms in the baby Kaname.

When Kaname was older, Juri had another child named Yuki Kuran, Kaname told Dante about RIdo had survived and he warns Juri and Haruka about him, Juri calls in a Hunter named Kaien Cross , a retired Hunter, but good friends with Juri and Dante, she tells Haruka, Kaien and Dante that she wants Yuki to live a normal life without any blood shed, she asks Kaien that if anything were to happen to her and Haruka, Kaien agrees and leaves with Haruka, Juri asks Dante to stay with her, she hands Dante Yuki, she asks him to make a bond with her, she asks him to protect Yuki with his life till Rido had been killed, Dante makes the bond with her making a red butterfly tattoo on his wrist, as she had done that, she gave Dante to Yuki, making her Dante's new Master, Dante accepts his new role has Yuki's new servant. Dante watched over Yuki when Juri, Haruka and Kaname had gone out for a while, Dante and Yuki created a relation with each other, Yuki would ask Dante questions about the 'Outside World' and what it was like, Dante would tell her about how he had only gone out was only when his Master/Mistress had taken him with them, he tells her that when she is older that he would take Yuki and they would explore the world together with Juri, Haruka and Kaname.

One night when Kaname had come back, Juri, Haruka, Kaname and Dante sensed Rido Kuran's pressence, Dante, Juri and Haruka went to face him but he tells them that he had come to take Yuki from them, Dante holds both Juri and Haruka back and tells Juri that she should go to Yuki and protect her, as she goes back into the house, Dante and Haruka are attacked by some of Rido's servants, Dante fights them off whilst Haruka fights off Rido. Dante kills the servants as Haruka wounds Rido, Dante hears Haruka and Juri talking but keeps his eyes on the new wave of servants, Dante watches as RIdo comes back and tells him about how Kaname was a failure and how his plan had back fired, Dante charges at Rido but he kicks him and Dante smashes in a tree knocking him out. Dante wakes up later and see's Kaname holding a sleeping Yuki, he tells Dante of Juri's fate and Haruka's, Dante runs back into the house and see's Juri's body, he holds her body and says a chant in Demon tongue and watches as her body turns to crystal, Dante leaves the house and follows Kaname.

After that, Kaname puts Yuki in the middle of a field and kills a Vampire that served Rido, Dante joins them and tells Kaname that the Vampire was the last servant in the area. Kaname and Dante take Yuki to Kaien Cross to take care of Yuki, Kaien agrees to this and they discuss what had happened and how Kaien shall adopt Yuki, Kaname tells Kaien that he is heading back to the house and that Dante will be staying with Kaien and acting as Yuki's brother, Dante tells Kaien that he'll be only staying to look after his princess and making sure no one hurts her, Kaien tells Dante that he is only allowed to stay if he would use Kaien's surname, this is how Dante is given the name Dante Cross. Through the years as Yuki got older, she asked Kaien and Dante about Vampires and how Kaname was one, she asked if Dante was a Vampire as well not knowing of the Demon kind, Dante tells her that he is a stronger Vampire, Yuki asks Dante if he had ever killed any Vampires, Dante tells her that he had only killed bad ones that attacked him, Yuki thinks about Kaname and Dante goes into another room and thinks of Juri when she had been a young girl.

When Yuki was eleven, Dante was called to Moscow, Russia, Yuki asks him not to leave but Dante tells her that he would come back and will never forget about Yuki, Dante leaves his weapons Lucifer, Pride and Greed in a black case with Kaien and tells him never to open it and to keep it locked up forever, Kaien tells Dante that he was going to miss him as well. Dante arrives in Moscow and heads to a hospital where he was called to come as a young girl had been bitten by a Pure Blood, Dante finds the girl and takes her out of the hospital and she asks him to help her, Dante tells her that he was going to make sure she never turned into a Level E and make sure she remained sane. Dante stayed in Moscow for four years till the girl had turned Level E and Dante ended up killing her before she could kill a Human, Dante then gets a letter from Kaname asking him to come back as Kaien had started a school and he needed Dante back to look after Yuki. Dante gets on a train and heads back to the town, on the train Dante meets Seiren a servant of Kaname, she tells him that she has been ordered to escort him to the Academy and to make sure he doesn't case a scene, Dante informs her that he doesn't need an escourt and that he's happy to make his way to the Academy, Seiren insults him saying that he likes to been in a room full of Humans, Dante tells her that the train cart has not a single Human in it but Demons instead, Seiren tells Dante that he wise to have back up but tells her that Kaname had given the order for her to escourt him and that she would follow the order, Dante tells her that he doesn't care and that she can do whatever she wanted.

As they arrive at the station, Seiren shows Dante to a car where they are driven to the Academy, whilst in the car, Seiren gives Dante a file on a boy name Zero Kiryu, Seiren tells Dante that Kaname wants him to watch over Zero as he was bitten by a Pure Blood Vampire named Shizuka Hio, Dante asks her when he was bitten by Shizuka, she tells Dante that he was bitten four years ago when both his parents died. Shocked at the news of the Kiryu's death, Dante asks Seiren if Kaname wants him to 'dispose' of Zero, she tells him that Kaname would tell him that. They arrive at the Academy but Seiren tells Dante that she will be running an errand for Kaname, she drives off and Dante enters the Academy but is lost as students walk around to their next class, Dante walks around for a bit but walks into Yuki, she hugs him and tells Dante that she missed him, she introduce's her friend Sayori Wakaba, Dante introduces himself and Yori says that Yuki ahd never mentioned Dante before, Yuki tells her that Dante had been away for the past four years and didn't want to talk much about him, Dante asks Yuki where he could find Kaien Cross, Yuki tells him that he is in the Headmasters office which is located in the main building, Dante walks away from them and heads to Kaien's office. When Dante arrives at Kaien's office, Dante see's Kaname Kuran standing at his desk, Kaname tells Dante that he's glad to see him after four years, Kaien tells Dante that he's glad to see him again, Dante asks why he was called to the Academy and asks if it is about Yuki, Kaname tells Dante that he wanted Dante back was so he can watch over Yuki during the day whilst he was in the Night Class, Kaien explains to Dante that the Human students are the Day Class students who are awake in the Day whilst the Vampire students are the Night Class and are awake in the Night, Dante asks what he was going to do in order to watch over Yuki, Kaien tells Dante that they need a school doctor and that Dante had medical experience, Dante agrees to it but says he's not dealing with any Vampire wounds as he is sick of helping Vampires.

Weapons
Dante use's different weapons, Hunters and Human, but he mostly use's his two weapons.

Pride and Greed
Pride and Greed are two modified guns made by Dante, they are designed to fire bullets that can kill Vampires, Humans and Demons alike. When Dante first aquired Pride and Greed, they were normal M1911 pistols that he found, he modified them during his stay making them stronger than any other gun and weapon. When another Demon is near, the guns let off Demonic Energy to Dante, allowing him to charge a shot.

Lucifer
Lucifer is a sword that was one of the first Demon Blades, it was forged in the Earths core with Demonic Metal, Lucifer was the first to be forged and Dante became its wielder. Like most Demon Blades, the Demon Crystals and the Blades have a connection, if the Crystal is bonded with the Blade, it becomes an Awakened Blade, giving the Demon more power and allow them to activate their Devil Trigger. If a Human trys to use Lucifer, it becomes heavy so they can't pick it up or use, if a Vampire trys to use it, it corrupts them making them go insane and killing them in the end.

Demon Weapons
Because Dante is a Full Blood Demon, he can use any Demon Weapon, besides Lucifer, he use's a Demon Tomahawk called Hawxier and a Metal Whip called Crankyer. Dante would use these if in a large battle if fighting against Level E's or Demons, an example is when he's defending Cross Academy from Rido's Servants.
