Biography
Assassin Order
Dante was a high ranking member of the Assassin Order. Coincidentally, he was tasked with the training of the Patriarch of what would become the Auditore family of Florence. It is common knowledge among Assassins that he was actually murdered in Ravenna by Templars, while preparing for a journey to Barcelona with his young apprentice, the objective of which was to deliver the Codex of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad to an Assassin stronghold.
The stories of his exile and his falling out with the state he so bravely defended are examples of the old saying; "history is written by the victor". Using this as a fork in the road, it can be gathered that the Templars have manipulated history to their own needs and benefit to an extent that the whole truth may never be known. He was a renowned poet and was exiled from Florence due ostensibly to his political connection with the White Guelphs. He wrote the Divine Comedy and was sheltered in Forlì during his exile.
