A slim but solidly built young man in his early to mid twenties with neck to shoulder length dark brown hair with a full beard and intense green eyes who is considered to be quite handsome by many people, Dante doesn't usually care as like his father, he is more focused on his pro wrestling career than "looking pretty".

Much like his father, uncles, and other family members-Dante's body is slightly covered with scars from living a particular hard life as a professional wrestler.

His normal wrestling gear is a black shirt with a black pair of cargos jeans with black wrestling boots. Kind of a variation of this Image Here.

For his external ring gear, he usually wears a long blood red long coat to the ring, which he removes prior to the start of his matches.



WRESTLING INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------
Wrestling Style: Japanese "King's Road" style (created by Japanese Wrestling Great in the Giant Baba), is a very intense and impactful style of wrestling with a strong emphasis on technical prowess and fighting spirit. Known for an emphasis on powerful punches, kicks, and stiff forearms, as well as an equally strong emphasis on technical wrestling with throws, takedowns, and submission holds with matches often featuring intense sequences, near falls, and dramatic comebacks to build tension.

Dante combines King's Road with British-style catch wrestling, having spent some of his time learning under the tree of Billy Robinson as well as elements of Gaidojutsu to give him a very brutal yet effective wrestling style.

Strengths:
1. Extremely intelligent: Unlike his older half-brother Devon, Dante has seemingly inherited their father's signature high intelligence and has proven it time and again in the ring.

2. Bringing his "Double A Game": No matter what opponent he is facing, Dante always works harder and fights stiffer in order to prove himself as one of the best in the business.

3. The "Rogue Saint": For the most part, Dante is a prime example of a "Tweener" and he rather enjoys straddling that line as he won't attack people not involved in matches UNLESS they make themselves a problem for him or his people. He also won't go after manager or the like as well-he's an odd kind of professional, but when he gives his word...

Weaknesses:
1. "He is his father's child": Dante is like his father in a few ways, his temperament in the ring being a key factor as the longer that a match goes on, the shorter his patience with his opponent gets which becomes highlighted in just how much more physically violent he becomes in the ring. However this does *NOT* mean he tries to end matches quickly.

2. He takes wrestling seriously: To say that Dante "works stiff" is putting simply, the man takes great pride in being apart of a family of professionals and wrestles in the exact same style as his father (much like the famed "Four Pillars of Heaven" of AJPW fame which were Misuharu Misawa, Toshiaki Kawada, Akira Taue, and Kenta Kobashi) and as such his opponent(s) will understand fully just how physical a match that they are in four based purely on his striking ability. Furthermore it doesn't matter to Dante if you are a Babyface or Heel, Rudo or Technico...everybody gets the same fucking beating, no matter who they are.

3. Professional: As mentioned above, Dante takes professional wrestling seriously and won't think twice about making things much more violent and/or stiff to those that he thinks isn't taking the industry seriously and much like his counterpart and friend Wil Pierce, he really doesn't care if you think that you're a "hero" or a "villain", disrespect the sport and get hurt.

Biography:
Born Elijah Dante Slayton, Dante is the second child of Marcus Alexander Slayton Senior and his second wife, Kelly Gellar-Slayton, and he was named in part for his two godfathers in two professional wrestling legends in the "Eliminator" Eli Flair and the "Southern Devil" Damian Dante Stone, both men having impacted Dante's career to date in their own ways.

His father, Marcus Senior, was the owner/promotor of the International Championship Wrestling Alliance based out of the Boston area and so Dante grew up the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston and graduated from the British International School of Boston, playing rugby and being on the wrestling team-all the while also learning the ropes from the professional wrestlers of his father's era, learning much from names like the aforementioned Eli Flair and Damian Stone, but also Kevin Powers, Rocko Daymon, Jason "Stalker" Reeves, and many others.

Dante debuted for the Nevada-based World Wrestling Alliance member promotion, Carson City Wrestling, in 2016 where he became the Underground (the company's equivalent to a regional heavyweight title) title six months later after beating the "Punisher" Matt Hunter in a physically demanding match. Dante would go onto win several more regional based titles, but otherwise stayed away from companies that also featured members of his own family. Even obtaining a couple of try outs for Elite Answers Wrestling, but he was told that he "wasn't good enough" despite winning both of his try out matches.

Dante then went onto break his long standing rule when he went to go and work for the Frontier Wrestling Alliance, earning a spot on the company infamous roster and he was briefly apart of the "Godfather" Peter Graves' "Reign of Terror" stable, helping them to win the 2013 Summit Games event in the Summit Wrestling Alliance before using his "Golden Ticket" from being on the winning team to capture his first ever major title by defeating "Lord" Thomas Imperious for the FWA World's Heavyweight Championship as well as going on to become a two time FWA World Tag Team champion with Alex Slayer for the RoT as well.

Dante was apart of the FWA roster up to the point where he officially retired the company's NEVER title upon the company's closure in 2018 at which point he took some time away from the ring to help train wrestlers at Vergil Urahara's "Apocalypse Academy" wrestling school alongside his older half-brother, Devon Slayton. But when Devon informed him that he was wanting to get the "Band back together", Dante jumped at the chance to work in a vast new territory.
