Dante (Hangul: 단테, Dante) is designated Sinner #10 and executive manager of Limbus Company's LCB department.

Dante is a relatively grounded and attentive manager with a tendency to make quips. The game opens with her purposefully wiping her memory and replacing her head with a prosthetic red clock, only to be approached and recruited by Limbus Company minutes later.

Dante lacks a focus Canto of her own, but acts as Limbus Company's ever-present main character, bumbling through the hellish journey of guiding the Sinners down her paths to the Golden Boughs.

In place of her original head, Dante's previous head was replaced with a prosthetic red clock which protrudes flame from its top. The clockface itself is rather thick in width, similar to the size of a human one where it can be claimed to be a mask to onlookers. The flames appear to burn from two ridges that ring around the clock down to the point of Dante's neck, Dante will secretly take her clock head off whenever she's alone, revealing that she has pale skin, dark hair with golden streaks in some places, and a red rose (Lunacy) eyepatch. behind the eyepatch, she has an eye that is different from her left eye, her right eye is literally identical to her clockhead, a dark red clock with gold iris that serve as small clockhands, they tick, yet silent. Not a single sinner has seen her behind her clockhead, Dante keeps her clockhead on due to the contract she signed that Faust later tells her about. Though, throughout the year of managing the sinners meaning she's used to their company and the way they treat her, outside her group, she gets quite hurt and displeased when someone addresses her as a 'thing' instead of a person, she gates being dishumanized.

Initially on the Prologue, her minute hand on the face of the clock rests at 9. After Cantos IV and VII, it moved by half a minute, resting between 9 and 10 between Canto IV and Canto VII, then resting at 10 after Canto VII.

Her uniform is notably distinct from the Sinners, her coat being a mix of red, yellow, and white — likely due to her role as Executive Manager. 'NO. 10' is written on her coat near the lapel, along with 'DAN TE' near the end of it. she wears a red tie and a tucked long-sleeve polo, with black pants and a white belt. though in her room, she'll sport something more comfortable in her liking.

As a manager, Dante is initially quiet and not much of a talker, passive, and rather spineless. She rarely make any real attempts to control the Sinners or talk to them about their problems, while occasionally lamenting her inability to get the Sinners to listen to them due to her own physical weakness (being likely the only person on Mephistopheles without any combat experience). However, as time moves on and Dante discovers her own ability to act as a guiding light for the Sinners, they increase in confidence as the Manager of the group and begins to assume the position of actual leadership.

Due to her initial incompetence, she had to rely on some of the Sinners to maintain some degree of control over the group's actions. Ishmael and Outis in particular provided great help in assisting management of the other Sinners during this period. However, her authority is consolidated as she earn the respect of several Sinners after their focus Cantos, and this in turn earned them the trust of the entire group.

Dante's lack of confidence contributed greatly to her passivity in earlier Cantos, though it has since abated with the aforementioned rise in confidence. She was also shown to be fearful to certain Sinners with violent tendencies, particularly Heathcliff.

Dante also has a light-hearted side, sometimes cracking jokes about her clockhead to lighten the mood, even in a serious situation.

Dante's own head had been replaced by a prosthetic clock serving as her new face, which seemingly gives her powers comparable to absurd technologies such as Singularities.

The Sinners recruited by Limbus Company were specifically chosen because she could "resonate" with Dante's abilities, forming the "contract" with them to gain the boon of Dante's powers.

Dante can only commune through a ticking sound of her clock, which she can alter the frequency and intensity of. Only the Sinners and a few others can understand the intended speech behind the ticks. When agitated, Dante's speech may include bell chimes and/or steam whistles. Without the clockhead, Dante's voice is much softer than the loud clock ticking, she sometimes stutters during her speech due to her hesitation if she's feeling overwhelmed.

After Faust had Dante bind the Sinners into a "contract", Dante is capable of healing her injuries and reviving the Sinners from death, at the cost of physically feeling how they died.
