Dante

"Dante" is a terrorist financier and an ally of Ricardo Diaz and the Longbow Hunters.

Early life
According to Lyla Michaels, the man known as Dante is a terrorist financier who can only be contacted through a Dante painting. Many of these terrorist organizations include Kobra, Basilisk and the Third World Liberation Army.

Contacted by Ricardo Diaz
Dante was contacted by the crime lord Ricardo Diaz for assistance against Oliver Queen and Team Arrow. Under a debt, he sent him the Longbow Hunters.

Conflict with Oliver Queen and A.R.G.U.S
A.R.G.U.S sought to use the captured Diaz to finally capture Dante. When meeting with a business partner, who had been tagged by A.R.G.U.S, Dante was confronted by Diaz, who revealed to him that it was a set up in order to pay back the debt he owned him. Dante swiftly killed Virgil and the lady he was talking to for it and escaped. Oliver Queen confronted him in the exit but Dante proved to outclass the vigilante and disarmed and grounded him but was stopped by Layla, who demanded he surrender. Unfazed, Dante threw his knives at them and left the scene.

He later appears to Emiko Queen and asks her help in handling Oliver.

Personality
Dante is shown to be highly careful and highly dangerous, to the point that he has successfully supplied various terrorist organizations for years and remained uncaught by the authorities. He is shown to be ruthless and intimidating to the point that even Diaz, himself a profound psychopath, is shown to fear Dante. Dante does not tolerate failure, as he kills Virgil and the lady he was talking to for leading him to a trap. He is quite calm and confident, as he quickly regained himself after learning the meeting was a set up and was unfazed at the prospect of fighting Oliver Queen. Dante also has a mocking side, as he taunts Oliver.

Abilities

 * High-level intellect/Master tactician: Dante is a highly intelligent individual, as he has been (secretly) funding various terrorist organizations for years. Dante is extremely elusive, as even a large organization like A.R.G.U.S., has difficulty tracking him.
 * Peak of human physical condition: Dante is in top physical form for a man of his age. His reflexes allowed him to slice arrows shot at him by Oliver Queen. He was fast and strong enough to keep up with and ultimately dominate Oliver.
 * Master combatant/Martial artist: Dante is an exceptionally skilled combatant and martial artist, one of the most dangerous fighters in the Multiverse, as he is one of the very few able to outclass the extremely accomplished master combatant and martial artist Oliver, who had been trained personally by Ra's al Ghul; only being prevented from defeating him by Layla's interference.
 * Master knife wielder: Dante is a highly skilled knife-fighter, able to instantly slice two people's neck to death with a single maneuver and slice every single arrow shot at him by Oliver with little effort. He also accurately threw them at Oliver and Layla; nearly hitting them to escape.
 * Network: Dante has access to various terrorist organizations and their resources; including the Longbow Hunters.
 * Intimidation: Dante commands an intimidating presence to the point where many of his enemies fear him, even a psychopath like Ricardo Diaz; was (genuinely) terrified of him.
 * Stealth: Dante was able to enter Emiko Queen's house without being notice and spy on her and Oliver without being sensed, with Emiko only sensing him after Dante revealed himself.

Trivia

 * Dante is one of the very few person to ever outclass Oliver Queen in combat, although unlike the others who managed to defeat Oliver truly, Dante was unable to do so due to interference from Lyla.
