Dante Chessel

Dante Chessel is a Gym Leader of Maunaka Town, alongside Vergil. He specializes in Psychic- and Dark-Type Pokémon. Secretly, he was once a Cipher Peon.

Personality
Dante tends to be laid-back and easygoing, which makes him appear lazy. He often lacks motivation for long-term projects. Alongside Vergil, however, he becomes serious, and is a significant threat in battle.

Before Cipher
Dante awoke in Seafolk Village with no memory aside from his first name, a Galarian Slowbro at his side. None in the village knew who he was. He wandered through town, made his way across the wilderness, and arrived in Maunaka Town mostly by accident.

In Cipher
He joined Cipher mostly because he had nowhere else to go, and was given a Shadow Malamar to fit his Type specialties. Soon after joining, he met Vergil, another Peon who looked startlingly similar to himself.

After winning the annual Peon tournament alongside Vergil, the pair was elected to be the local Gym Leaders, making it the first quad-Type Gym, and only the second Gym in Alola.

During setup of the Gym, Vergil had a dire misunderstanding of what a "Gym puzzle" should be, and installed poison arrows, accidentally shooting both himself and Dante. Thankfully, it was merely poison from the Slowpoke line, and did not cause serious harm, rather, it gave them an effect similar to a drug high. During the hallucinations, Dante and Vergil saw similar things, leading Dante to believe the hallucinations may have been repressed memories. Thus, about a month later, he purposefully poisoned himself again. Hopefully this does not become a habit.

Familial
Dante does not remember his family, and wonders if they are out there somewhere.

Romantic
Dante does not remember having any romantic partner.

Vergil
Their shared similarities and experiences have led Dante to consider Vergil a brother. He is convinced that they must somehow be related, as their appearances are too similar to be a coincidence.

Galarian Slowbro (Female)
The only Pokémon remaining from whoever Dante was before. She is very faithful and loyal to Dante, and may hold clues to his past memories.

Scrafty (Male)
Enjoys evening walks through the town.

Sigilyph (Male)
Mostly a support Pokémon.

Shadow Malamar (Female)
Dante's Shadow Pokémon. Due to the meddling of Aros, it was baited into attacking Miror Byrd.

Bisharp (Female)
Protects Dante when he falls asleep in public.

Indeedee (Female)
Unlike most female Indeedee, she can be very aggressive.
