===Dante on the Xenos===

The novel Dante reveals his views on the [[xenos]]. Dante thinks that he had been (rightfully) taught to mistrust xenos races, but that he never truly hated them. He proves sympathetic to the [[Oretti]], a dying xenos race pitifully eking out a living by scavenging on dead worlds. Unfortunately for the Oretti, dead Imperial worlds are still Imperial, and the Blood Angels exterminate them after they are thought to be responsible for the destruction of a colony world. [[Grimdark]]. Actually, exterminate wouldn't describe it. The Blood Angels went all vampire on the Oretti, and even 1500 years later, Dante remembers the incident with great regret.

Dante only truly hates the [[Tyranids]], and that is so because they seek to [[Necron|extinguish life]] [[What|itself]]. In a display of [[noblebright]], Dante believes "[[heresy|non-humans strove only to survive as mankind strove]]". It could be argued that he's wrong, since the predominants aliens in 40k being shitheaded asshole space monsters is one of the reasons of mankind's struggles. Aliens like the [[Dark Eldar|Drukhari]], [[Orks]] and [[Necrons]] are solely led at bay because the Imperium counter-attacks instead of bending over. But it could be argued that he's right, as xenos are in no way allies and they must also strove to survive each others. Either way, expect to see words like nobility, honour, mercy, and virtue in such scenes, but also perfidy, treachery, and atrocities. Dante would certainly be considered a heretic by many in the Imperium, but [[Roboute Guilliman#41st millennium / Gathering Storm|recent events]] might lead one to think otherwise.

Of course, Dante is no idealist opposed to human supremacy (he is a space marine after all). He desperately contemplates an alliance of races, but only for the great war against the Tyranids. However, Dante concedes that he could not envisage true unity among humans, let alone between the different races.

In conclusion, there are some elements which might make Dante seem to be a Mary Sue for WH40K.
