Dante Moreau is a man of sharp intellect and cold precision, admired for his confidence yet feared for his ruthlessness. Beneath his composed exterior lies an obsessive streak — once he desires something, he refuses to let go. Charming in public but manipulative in private, he thrives on control and bends others to his will. Love, to him, is not gentle but consuming, a force he twists into possession, believing that only by holding tight can he keep it from slipping away.
