Full Name: Dante
Known Aliases: Wolfdog
Army: Rogues
Rank: Guard Dog
Gender: Male
Age: 5
Personality:The first thing that most notice about Dante is his unwavering loyalty, especially to his people and to Clopin. He is also a natural-born leader, having been a leader of a small pack of strays during his younger years. He is objective, independent, quick-thinking, and adaptable to just about anything. He has a knack for being able to predict the outcome of events thanks to his keen observation of the world around him. He is highly intuitive for a dog, and he relies on his intuition to guide him. He is clever and silver-tongued, much like his owner. Like his namesake, he is worldly, and enjoys listening to poems and stories. He's very easygoing, unless someone close to him is in danger.
Dante is loyal to a fault, which sometimes lands him in bad situations. He is well-read for a domesticated canine, and is probably one of few dogs who is literate. This comes in handy when Clopin goes off on diplomatic missions. He is also strangely intuitive.
Dante is judgmental at times, harshly judging those who speak badly about those he cares for. He's also a perfectionist, believing that absolutely everything he does has no margin for mistakes. Dante is also well-known for being stubborn.

Backstory: Dante was born to a wolf and a german shepherd husky mix back when Frollo still ruled Paris with an iron fist. He grew up a nomad, never really knowing his parents as he traveled the Parisian countryside. He never really had a name, except for "that mutt" or "wolfdog", because of his large paws. As a young dog, he survived off of stealing chickens and sheep from farmers in the countryside, which led to him being persecuted. The farmers vowed that they would have his pelt, and Dante escaped under the cover of night.
One day, he came to Paris, and he made the city his home, as he could get handouts a lot easier, especially from the butcher, who fed the stray dogs that showed up at his backdoor. A few years later, during Frollo's last year, Dante gained an owner: Clopin Trouillefou. The gypsy king had a soft spot for dogs, and took in those that needed help(besides those that had followed the rest of the gypsies to their home in the Court of Miracles). Now, when Clopin had met Dante, he didn't see a dog that needed help.
Instead, he saw a dog that was already fiercely independent, and able to survive on his own. This intrigued the gypsy king, and he offered Dante a home with plenty of food, and a spot right next to the king's throne. Dante didn't take long to consider the offer. A spot next to the king of the gypsies? Who could possibly turn that down?
Clopin bestowed the name Dante upon him, for his intelligence and hunger for knowledge. Of course, Clopin had other dogs such as the golden-furred Virgil, but in his heart, Dante was always the most loyal and his favorite. Dante was the dog that often accompanied Clopin on diplomatic trips, being that he was even-tempered and extremely docile, for a wolfdog.
But whenever his master was in trouble(even though he could hold his own), the silver-furred canine was right there beside him, ready to fight tooth and claw in the name of loyalty. At home in the Court of Miracles, Dante loved listening to stories told by the other gypsies, and especially to those stories from the few books that Clopin owned, including the epic poem written by his namesake.
