{{quote|I feel eyes on us.|Dante Moro to [[Marco Barbarigo]] in [[Venice]]}}
'''Dante Moro''' (1460–1486) was a [[Templar]] and personal bodyguard of Marco Barbarigo. He was previously the captain of the Venetian city [[Guards|guard]] and an heir to one of the most prestigious families in Venice.

Marco desired Dante's wife [[Carlotta Moro|Carlotta]], so he hired a hit on Dante. Dante was stabbed three times in the body and once in the head. While he miraculously survived, Dante was left with severe brain damage and the mind of a child. Marco then tricked Dante into annulling the marriage and becoming Marco's personal bodyguard.

[[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] first encounters him in Venice where Marco, [[Silvio Barbarigo]] and [[Carlo Grimaldi]] are plotting to kill the [[Giovanni Mocenigo|Doge]]. They next met in the [[Carnevale]] with Silvio, where he fought Ezio hand to hand to win a [[golden mask]], yet Ezio's skills proved better, and Dante lost. He and Silvio cheated to win the mask and prevent Ezio from entering Marco's private party, however Ezio managed to distract Dante long enough to [[pickpocketing|pickpocket]] the mask from him. Dante arrived at the party, along with other guards, and tried to look for Ezio, but failed, resulting in Marco's death at Ezio's hand. Dante subsequently fled to [[L'Arsenale]] with Silvio. Dante was killed along with Silvio Barbarigo while boarding a ship. Dante revealed that they were headed for [[Cyprus]], but died before he could say anything else. After the assassination of Dante Moro, Ezio recovers a letter intended for Dante from his ex-wife Carlotta. It read:

''My love,''

''I wonder if ever the day will come when these words might make sense to you once more. I am sorry for what I've done - for what you and I have both become. Though we could not be together , just knowing you were near was enough. And now, with Marco dead, I may yet find a way for us to be joined again.''

''But do you even remember me? Or were the wounds too grave? Do my words stir- if not your memory, then your heart? It doesn't matter what they say- I know you're still in there, somewhere.''

''I will find a way, my love. To remind you. To restore you...''

''Love always,''

''Carlotta''

==Final words==
'''Ezio:''' ''What's happened here? Why the boats? I thought you sought the Doge's seat.''

'''Silvio:''' ''Just a distraction. We were meant to sail...''

'''Ezio:''' ''Sail where?''

'''Silvio:''' ''I'll never tell.''

'''Dante:''' ''Cyprus is their destination. They want... they... want...''

'''Ezio:''' ''Non temete l'oscurità – accettate il suo abbraccio. Requiescant in Pace.'' ''(Fear not the darkness – but welcome it's embrace. Rest in Peace.) ''

==Trivia==
*Dante wields an [[Axe]], and fights much like a [[Brute]].
*Despite [[Antonio]] telling you not to do so, the player will not fail the mission if they kill Dante after stealing the mask from him, but he will still appear at the party later.
*If the player is confronted by Dante after stealing the mask, the player cannot kill him, nor disarm him (unless you use a Two-Handed weapon's Special Attack), even if his health bar is all the way down. This is also the case after the party where Marco is killed, him being located on a bridge nearby. The only way to defeat him is to make him fall in the water. Even if the player does so, in the next missions he will be alive.
*In the [[Assassin's Creed: Renaissance|novel]], Ezio shoots Dante in the face with the [[pistol]] on the deck of the Templar ship. The text of Carlotta's letter to Dante is reproduced in it, as well.
*Dante differs from the other assassination targets in the game, as he is not deliberately a Templar. Simple-minded, Dante would not be in control of his actions and therefore can not be held accountable for them. Assassinating him would therefore be breaking the first tenet of [[the Creed|The Creed]], but Ezio is not bound by the tenets until he is inducted into the order.
*Dante is the only assassination target not to have a portrait in [[Ezio's room]], probably because his brain damage makes him unaware of his actions and not really a Templar. As well, he was only a consequential casualty of Silvio's assassination.
*Dante is also the only assassination target to be younger than Ezio in ''Assassin's Creed II''.
*An easy way to kill Dante while on the boat is to walk onto the thin gangplank, and when he follows you, either drop into the water, or attack him until he falls in, killing him.
*The database entry for the [[Madonna dell'Orto]] states that Dante was the only son of the Doge, Cristoforo Moro, who supposedly disowned him in 1468 after losing his title as Venetian Captain of the Guard. This would not be possible, as Dante would only have been eight years old in 1468.
