Antonio "The Scorpion" Dante

Tony "The Scorpion" Dante was a suspect in the murder investigation of his brother, mobster Joseph Dante, in Overkill (Case #22 of Mysteries of the Past).

Profile
Tony is a 39-year-old Italian gang member. He has short black hair under a caramel brown top hat with a brown stripe. He wears a midnight gray coat over a checkered dark blue vest and a white collared shirt with a caramel brown tie. Additionally, he is seen holding a cigar. It is known that Tony uses sulphur soap and eats mutton.

Events of Criminal Case
Tony became a suspect after the player and Maddie found his lighter at the apothecary the victim frequented. He was saddened about Joseph's death, and was convinced it was the Irish who were responsible for it. His boss had sent him to see what happened to him, and it led him to Irish territory, which convinced him they had something to do with Joseph's murder.

Later, Tony was caught in the middle of a fight between him and Eamon Gilligan. After the team arrived, he ran off while Eamon ended up staying behind. They spoke with him again about a family photo with the two of them, confirming he is Joseph's brother. He did not bring it up because he felt it would not help the investigation, but he had told Joseph previously to stop coming since he would only cause a gang war between them and the Irish. However, he believed Joseph had nothing to do with the murders committed by the Scarlet Slayer, and that he would not really hurt anybody.

Tony was later found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Madam Xiang for Joseph's murder.
