Dante's Inferno generally uses the same characters as in the original poem, and the only truly new character is Beatrice's brother, Francesco Portinari. However, many of them are greatly reinterpreted—for example, Cleopatra is now the guardian demon of the second circle, rather than a regular damned soul. Most importantly, though, Dante is reinterpreted as a veteran of the Third Crusade, and Beatrice, a mere crush of his in real life, is depicted as his fiancee'.
Dante is in pursuit of his beloved Beatrice. He boldly tries to free her soul from Lucifer, who needs the soul of an innocent in order to escape from the depths of Hell. Lucifer tries to use the soul of Beatrice to escape Hell, and take over the Throne of God. Dante's journey takes him past many monstrous creatures within the Nine Circles of Hell. Dante must confront his sins, along with his family's past and his numerous war crimes, in order to save Beatrice.
God I love this game. I never get bored of it
