Dante Vespucci

"He who desires the World to be Nothing."

- Kohta Hirano

 (ダンテ ベスプッチ, Besuputchi Dante), typically referred to as Vespucci of the Void (空しいのベスプッチ, Munashii no Besuputchi) and formerly known as Gravity Saint (重力聖人 Juuryoku Seijin), was an enigmatic and noble Mage who was a candidate to be one of the Ten Wizard Saints after Siegrain was dishonourably discharged following the Tower of Heaven. However, Dante disappeared under mysterious circumstances, never to be seen again until now, resurfacing as a Mage and the Guild Master of the Dark Guild Laughing Hand.

Dante served as the primary main antagonist of Fairy Tail: Journey and Retribution alongside his Dark Guild, Laughing Guild, whom he sent all throughout Earth Land to find and extract the whereabouts of the sealed Mirror of Desire from Delilah Gardner.

Other Magic
Levitation Magic (浮揚マジック Fuyō Majikku): Akin to Telekinesis, Levitation Magic allowed the Caster to levitate anything they so desire, whether that be an object or a person. This effect also extended to the Caster themselves, as they were also able to direct the effect internally, giving the ability to stay afloat in the air. While Dante's Void Magic was an appropriate way to lift himself off the ground, he preferred to use Levitation Magic instead. Given enough Eternano dedication to Levitation Magic, Dante was able to practically levitate anything he turned his eyes on. With just the correct amount of exertion, Dante was more than able to lift Mountains and Forests with little to no effort at all. However, the truth of this statement up to debate.

Transformation (変身魔法 Henshin Mahō): Although Dante was purported to be an Advanced User of Transformation Magic, he primarily made use of Intermediate Level to change his clothes and voice to fit the situation. He only used Transformation Magic to allow himself easy camouflage whenever he made trips into the outlying towns, cities, and countries of Earth Land. Due to Dante being a Wanted Man in Fiore, he used Transformation to regularly appear as a traveling Merchant.

Behind the Scenes

 * Dante Alighieri, sometimes referred as il Sommo Poeta ("the Supreme Poet") and "Father of the Italian Language" respectively, was a major Italian Poet in the Middle Ages who was most well known for one of the greatest literary works in existence, Divine Comedy.
 * Amerigo Vespucci was an Italian Explorer, Financier, Navigator, and Cartographer who proved that Brazil and the West Indies were not connected to Asia, as previously believed from Christopher Columbus's Voyages. Now known as the New World, the discovered Continent was called "America", which derived from a feminized version of Vespucci's first name.


 * In Norse Mythology, Níðhöggr was a Dragon who constantly tried to gnaw the roots of the World Tree Yggdrasil. In historical Germanic society, níð was a term for a social stigma implying the loss of honour and the status of a villain.
