Dante Moro
- "I feel eyes on us."
- ―Dante Moro at the carnival
Dante Moro (1460-1485) is a Templar and personal slave of Marco Barbarigo. He was previously the captain of the city guard as well as personal body guard to Marco Barbarigo.
Marco desired Dante's wife Carlotta, so he hired a hit on Dante. During the attempt on his life Dante is stabbed 3 times in the body and once in the head. While he miraculously survives the attack, Dante is left with severe brain damage and the mind of a child. After Marco coerces Dante into annulling his marriage to Carlotta, Marco makes Dante his personal slave.ro
He is first seen in Venice with Marco, Silvio Barbarigo and Carlo Grimaldi plotting to kill the Doge. He is next seen in the carnival with Silvio, where he fights Ezio in hand to hand to win a golden mask. He and Silvio cheat to win the mask and prevent Ezio from entering Marco's private party and killing him. Ezio then steals the golden mask from him and attends the party. Dante shows up and tries to look for Ezio, but fails, resulting in Marco's death. Dante goes with Silvio and escapes to a different part of Venice. Ezio finds them and kills them both when they are heading for a ship. Ezio asks them where they were going, and Silvio says he will not tell. Dante, however, says they are going to Cyprus, and is about to tell Ezio what for, but dies. After the assassination of Dante Moro, Ezio recovers a letter intended for Dante from his ex-wife Carlotta. Which reads:
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
This letter can be found in the Animus database in Assassin's Creed II and also in the novel Assassins' Creed: Renaissance.
Final Words
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, much like the ones that brutes carry.
- Despite Antonio telling you not to do so, the player will not fail the mission if they kill Dante while stealing the mask from him and he will still appear at the party later.
