Dante is first mentioned in the pre-Conception Tokyo, where he is described as a "weird man in a red cloak". After Conception, he is known hunting down demons and slaying them. Dante makes his first appearance after the Hito-Shura left Shinjuku Medical Hospital, where he mentions about the weird atmosphere. Dante would later show up in Ikebukuro, home base of the Nihilo tribe. After the Hito-Shura being freed from his judgment, the Candelabrum of Sovereignty burns in an differing way. Noticing the change, Hito-Shura senses Dante, where Dante leaps down from the high tower, engaging the Hito-Shura to a battle.

After defeating Dante, Dante became disinterested to battle, but took an interest towards the Hito-Shura, as he bears the appearance of a demon but the heart of a human. Dante mentions that he was hired by an "Old Man" to hunt down a few demons, including the Hito-Shura. Dante then proceeds tells the Hito-Shura to keep himself alive, as he would like to meet him again, and hunt him down.

Throughout his demon hunting, Dante slowly became suspicious of his employer's motives, and began to investigate his employer's lair, the Labyrinth of Amala. By venturing to the third Kalpa of Amala, Dante will encounter the Hito-Shura, and attempts to threaten him away. Failing to do so, Dante begins to stalk and attack the Hito-Shura throughout the Kapa, until both reaches to it's end. Dante would then engages the Hito-Shura to a battle, after the battle, Dante leaves once again, venturing deeper, ahead of the protagonist, resuming his investigation.

Dante is last seen in the fifth Kalpa of Amara, he explains his employer's motives, who happens to be none other than the demon king Lucifer. Having disinterested in his initial motive, Dante offers the Hito-Shura his assistance. Depending on the players' choices, Dante can be recruited as an powerful ally. Should the Hito-Shura decides to hire Dante, Dante would flip a coin, questioning the Hito-Shura the correct face of the coin facing up. Should the Hito-Shura picks 'heads' Dante will join the party at Lv.80, regardless of the Hito-Shura's current Lv.
