~ Beatrice to Dante. |
Beatrice is the deuteragonist of the video game Dante's Inferno. She is Dante's fiance, and though she appears as a supporting character for most of the game, she later becomes a villain after becoming fully corrupted by Lucifer, being transformed into a demonic succubus and apparently becoming Lucifer's queen. However, after Dante completes the Malebolge (in the Circle of Fraud), Dante manages to successfully purge Lucifer's influence from her, and she is taken to Heaven by the archangel Gabriel.
Biography
She was Dante's fiance, who waited for him to return home from his services during the Crusades. Before Dante was summoned to join the third crusade, she was to marry him but Dante was forced to join the crusades so she asked him to protect her brother Francesco who also joined Dante in the Crusades, and gave him her cross. While Dante was fighting in the crusades, Beatrice made a bet with Lucifer, if Dante kept his innocence during the Crusades, Lucifer would ensure that he return home safely, but if Dante slept with another woman, she would have to give her soul to Lucifer. But while Dante was gone he slept with a Slave Girl offering him "comfort" in exchange to be freed, making Beatrice lose the bet and was sent to hell to be married to Lucifer.

Beatrice, shortly before her death.
When Beatrice arrives in Hell she asks Virgil to help Dante try to save her, which he does. Beatrice is seen again before Dante arrives to Acheron, she has several blue lines running across her breasts and is covered in a blue aura. She asks why Dante broke his promise and is soon taken away again by Lucifer.

Lucifer taking Beatrice.
She is seen again with Lucifer during Dante's battle with Phlegyas again, asking why Dante broke his promise. Just before Dante finishes his fight with Phlegyas, Lucifer gives her a pomegranate which turns into three seeds. Though Dante begs her not to eat them, she still eats them against his will, and is transformed into a demonic creature looking almost nothing like her former self. Lucifer and Beatrice proceed to kiss passionately as Lucifer stares at Dante, then picks her up and flies away.

Beatrice as the consort of Lucifer.
Beatrice is seen at the end of Inferno in a vision, no longer under Lucifer's control. When Dante reseals Lucifer back into his prison they both are seen in a smoky area naked, though she is covered from the waist down by smoke, they both grab hands and a bright light flashes and Beatrice is gone, returning to the realm of Purgatory where she would await his return to her arms as promised.
