'''Dante''' entered the [[SPARTAN-III]] program, developed by [[Colonel (UNSC)|Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]], around [[2546]] while between the age of 5 and [[7]] when he, along with other orphans, volunteered to become a [[SPARTAN-III]] to avenge his family or home planet after their destruction by the Covenant. Once on Onyx, he and the other Spartan candidates were trained by [[Senior Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez|Mendez]]; surviving [[Beta Company]] SPARTAN-IIIs [[Lucy-B091]] and [[Tom-B292]]; and SPARTAN-II, [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Kurt Ambrose]] a.k.a. [[SPARTAN-051]]. He was in [[Team Saber]], one of the leading squads in the Gamma generation of Spartan III's. | '''Dante''' entered the [[SPARTAN-III]] program, developed by [[Colonel (UNSC)|Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]], around [[2546]] while between the age of 5 and [[7]] when he, along with other orphans, volunteered to become a [[SPARTAN-III]] to avenge his family or home planet after their destruction by the Covenant.

It was said that he had "near magical abilities" when it came to explosives<ref>[[Halo:Ghosts of Onyx]], page 116</ref>. He always knew when they would explode, and when they would fail, too. Dante was the first casualty of Team Saber due to a combination of [[plasma]] fire and [[Needler]] rounds to his side while helping [[Lucy-B091]] drag an injured [[Frederic-104|Fred]] to safety after covering the group's rear as they retreated. Dante fell behind as the group retreated, and caught up just when [[Kurt-051]] noticed his disappearance, limping and holding his side. After stating "Sir, I think I got nicked", Dante collapsed and died. | It was said that he had "near magical abilities" when it came to explosives<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', page 116</ref>.

*Dante himself was not actually killed by a large explosion due to needler fire but from several needler shards detonating individually sending micro-shrapnel through his body. He also suffered from several serious plasma burns. | *Dante himself was not actually killed by a large explosion due to needler fire but from several needler shards detonating individually sending micro-shrapnel through his body.
