- "I feel eyes on us."
- ―Dante Moro at the carnival.
Dante Moro (1460-1486) was a Templar and personal bodyguard of Marco Barbarigo. He was previously the captain of the city guard and an heir to one of the most prestigious families in Venice.
Marco desired Dante's wife Carlotta, so he hired a hit on Dante. Dante was stabbed 3 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 coerced Dante into annulling the marriage and becoming Marco's personal bodyguard.
Ezio first encounters him in Venice where Marco, Silvio Barbarigo and Carlo Grimaldi plotted to kill the Doge. They next met in the carnival with Silvio, where he fought Ezio hand to hand to win a golden mask. He and Silvio cheated to win the mask and prevent Ezio from entering Marco's private party. Dante arrived at the party and tried to look for Ezio, but failed, resulting in Marco's death. Dante subsequently fled to L'Arsenale with Silvio. Dante was killed 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.) thumb|300px|left
