Dante was born in Valencia, Spain, the youngest until his little sister came along three years later. He took his job as an older brother pretty seriously, listening intently to his father when he told his two sons to look after their sister when they were introduced to her in the hospital. As they got older it was clear his sister didn't need any help but that didn't mean he wouldn't step in if he needed to. His father owned a bar that had been passed down from his own father and was the head of a motorcycle gang that was well known in their town for running multiple businesses. It was questionably bordering on a Spanish mob, though the words were never spoken. He grew up in not just a family of five, but a family of many - the crew looked out for each other, always had each others backs, and never took shit. Along with his parents, they helped shape him into the man he is today. They taught him how to fight and knocked him down a peg or two when he got too cocky - teaching him discipline and respect. He knew his father was technically a bad man but he was always there for his family and provided anything they needed, he was someone he aspired to be like. He was most definitely mamma's boy, she taught him to give women the respect they deserved and showed him just how strong women could be. She gave him his very first tattoo - the family symbol at fifteen. He got the bug after that and became his mother's walking art book.
At sixteen his father brought him into the family business - his father was a loan shark and the family bar and other businesses his father owned were a front for money laundering whilst the gang were used to extort 'protection' money from other businesses in the surrounding areas. Dante started from the bottom and gradually worked his way up as he gained more experience. When he wasn't working for his father, he was competing in MMA competitions which came in handy when he began to collect his dad's loan money. He wasn't afraid of getting his hands dirty and enjoyed it when they refused to give it back. To many illegal moves saw him banned from mma which pissed him off and just increased his drive for fighting. He turned to underground fighting as a side hustle and earned the nickname 'diablo' in the ring. It was there, at 22 were he fell head over heels in love - which came as a shock since he'd never really cared for relationships. He'd turned up early for a fight one night and there she was, kicking ass in the ring. He was hooked from the moment he tried to speak to her - she blew him off before he could even get a word out. It took months but he eventually won Isabel over and they got together.
Fast forward two years and he was engaged and ready to leave the family business to start a new life with Isabel. She fit in well with the family - coming from a dodgy family herself but she wanted more. She wanted to see more of the world and Dante would follow wherever she went. His father didn't approve and didn't hide his dislike of the idea. He was in the process of shaping his sons into eventually taking over the family business and Dante leaving would throw a spanner in the works. Unbeknownst to Dante, his father tried to pay off Isabel into leaving when he couldn't convince her to stay. At first she refused - as she had just found out that she was pregnant but hadn't told anyone yet. Dante's father then told her how much money her father owed him and promised to wipe it and give her money if she would leave. She unwillingly agreed and took the money and left, leaving her ring and a note for Dante to find.
Dante was crushed, throwing himself into fighting and the business over the next couple of years. 'breaking legs' wasn't just a threat anymore. His rage fuelled his blood thirst for a long time until he recently ended up in jail after almost killing someone in a fight. He lost control of his temper and it took four people to drag him away from punching the guy into a grave. Paramedics had to be called which brought the police sniffing around and he was arrested. Luckily for him, some of the officers were in his father's pockets and he was released after a few nights in a cell. It scared him enough into controlling his anger while fighting but it also made him slightly cocky to the fact that the police couldn't touch him. Wanting the dust to settle, his father sent him to england after his sister to keep an eye on her and scout out potential businesses that could extend their money laundering

Dante's Ex-Fiance alexxis lemire - twenty six - job up to rper
So before Dante came to Hickstead, he was born and raised in Valencia where he met his ex at 22 when they were both illegally mma fighting in underground matches. His history here goes into more detail but basically they were head over heels for each other and got engaged after about 2 years together. Dante comes from a very dodgy family and was going to leave the family business with his ex however his father paid her to leave him behind his back. This was about a year and a half ago. She was pregnant when she left so the baby would be about 5/6 months.
About the ex: - grew up in spain ( up to rper where ) but met Dante in Valencia - where he's from - she's no saint and comes from a dodgy family herself and was completely fine with any/all illegal activities dante and his family were up to - she knows how to fight as that's essential to how they met - didn't want to leave dante but her hand was forced - reason for finding him - doesn't want their baby growing up without a dad / possibly get back together - personality along the lines of daring, outspoken, short-tempered, confident, spontaneous, adventurous, caring, etc. - name: Mia, rosa, eva, Francesca, Teresa, valentina, open to more spanish options. Surname - Herrera or Vega, open to more options.
