Background Lord Dante Elwin Albert Surtova is one of the recognized bastards of King Surtova’s first cousin, Duke Albert Surtova. Enrolled in Skywatch academy at the age of ten, Dante graduated at eighteen with honors at the top of his class for swordsmanship and tactical combat. In school Dante found his calling, he is a master of battle. In academy he met Lady Melody Garess, the daughter of a nobleman also at the academy, the two fell madly in love and were married at the age of 17. A nine months later shortly after Dante graduated the academy, Melody died giving birth to a daughter. With the help of his family’s nurses and midwives, he raised young Alliah himself. He is fiercely protective of her and was torn when he decided to leave for the stolen lands. With little time for finding another wife Dante spent his time working and with his daughter. He still has great ambition for the field.

Dante went on to distinguish himself further by helping to establish a new city guard that was much more effective at keeping crime down, and eventually was offered a job teaching at Skywatch.

Personality Dante is 34 years old and has yet to really achieve greatness, this worries him as his love is battle and his ambition is to lead men and win honor and glory on the battlefield. He is stern and hard headed but fair. He tends to be direct and to the point, a military traditionalist not one for fancy ploys and daring tactics. He is a passionate man and has been known to have a temper. He is loyal to those who serve him and those he serves. A man of honor who will do what is necessary to win the day. While wise and strong Dante realizes that he is no genius and seeks to surround himself with intelligent and crafty advisors, albeit he requires them to be brave despite their scrawniness. Due to his past, Dante is a deeply lonely person that he hides behind a rough exterior.
