Dantalion 'Dante' Nowhere

Kuran Hornraven, known as Dantalion 'Dante' Nowhere throughout most of the campaign, is a tiefling druid, a founding member of the Fiery Five, a member of the Black Lily, and the husband of Lyra.

Appearance
Dante is a lavender-colored tiefling. His left eye is colored crimson red, and his right is ivory white. Following an incident in his past, he only had a single horn, on the left side of his face, which is colored dark purple and spiraled downward like a ram's horn. Wrapped around this horn is a thin vine with a tiny leafs, which acts as one of his druidic focuses.

In his left ear he wears an earring that held the chipped fang of a large tiger, his second druidic focus, and one of his most prized possessions.

He wears loose clothing, comprised of a beige shirt, brown pants with a purple cloth wrapped around his waist, and fancy brown leather boots. Over this, he wears a long, dark red coat. The left upper sleeve of the coat shows Solomon’s sigil, stitched in to help promote Solomon.

On the front of his left shoulder, he bears a tattoo that resembles the symbol of the Devilish Delights pleasurehouse in which he spent many years of his life.

Lyra
Dante first met Lyra in the ruined city of Yemen, which was overrun by goblins and hobgoblins. Aiding the party in their escape, he joined forces with them and eventually had a pivotal role in founding the Fiery Five. His relation with Lyra was good though not special. There was some antagonistic joking at times (between all party members) and the two generally got along well. Until one night the party was drinking until the deep hours of night in their keep Dragonstone Manor. A drunk Dante and an equally drunk Lyra were wobbling through the manor together towards their respective chambers when they passed Dante's door. On a whim Dante invited her in, and she accepted. The two shared a boisterous night of passion together (some of which was accidentally witnessed by Randall when he teleported into Dante's chamber to drop off his belongings) and they started to explore their feelings for each other following this night. Due to manipulation of Charir, the red dragon whose soul was being held in the red dragon orb that Dante was holding on to, Dante was driven to the brink of madness when he assaulted Lyra after she took the red dragon orb from him, as she saw the danger it was posing to him and to the rest of the party. Exhausted and blinded by addiction, he took her leg and furiously went through her stuff, giving her just enough time to escape from him. The next day, Dante met his end at the hands of an oblex in the Nine Tails Inn in Norasi. The two would not see each other again for a long time. During the events of the post-campaign adventure "The Search for Lyra", Dante and Lyra were reunited, albeit under extraordinary circumstances. The two had been surviving on the plane of Stygia for a couple of weeks, oblivious to each other's presence. At their emotional reunion, during which Dante profusely apologized for what he had done, the two lovers were well and truly together again. When Lyra and the rest of the party all went back to the Prime Material Plane, Dante was narrowly able to get a one-way ticket out of hell to the City of Souls, where he remained until his resurrection about a year later. Following their 'retirement', the two eventually got married a couple of decades after their adventures. They eventually had a grand total of five children.
