Dante

Dante was a special Mayoral Candidate that appeared in the Year 128 Mayor Election. Dante is the first mayor with a storyline, where he is a dictator and a player controlled revolution must defeat him. Dante, like all mayors, can be found in the Community Center which is located in the hub.

After Dante was elected, Clerk Seraphine started building Resistance Movement at the Dark Auction.

Mayoral Perks
Most special mayors run with up to four unique perks, but Dante has only been seen with three perks.

Perks:


 * 1) Order: Establish order
 * 2) Security: Strengthen security
 * 3) Freedom: Freedom from fear

However, when Dante was elected, his real perks are revealed and are as follows:

Changes List:


 * Economy Restoration (Establish Order)
 * Double AH & Bazaar Tax
 * 10% coin tax on Shops
 * All NPC items have had their price increased by 10%. This did not affect selling items to NPCs.
 * per minute fee for chatting
 * toll on travelling between islands
 * This perk did not affect the  command.


 * Increase Security (Strengthen Security)
 * Hired goons to protect official buildings
 * Goons would deny entry to most of the public buildings, excluding the Community Center where Dante is located, for players who were not wearing Happy Mask or did not have a Dante Talisman with them.
 * Cancelled hazardous events
 * The Travelling Zoo, Spooky Festival and Season of Jerry Event were canceled. The New Year Celebration was still held.
 * The Mayor Elections were replaced with Dante Elections, were only Dante could be elected.
 * Decreased sunlight, prevent sunburn
 * The time of the day on the entire server was set to midnight, no matter what the actual in-game time was. This perk was not added until several days after Dante was elected. (This didn't affect islands with a Day Saver.)


 * In the hours leading up to The Uprising, Dante introduced several more changes:
 * Dungeons were banned, which means no players could participate in Dungeons.
 * Pets were disabled, meaning no Pets could be equipped.
 * The alliance with the Dwarves was disbanded, barring access to the Dwarven Mines.
 * Eventually, traveling between islands itself was banned, forcing everyone into the Hub to fight Dante.

All of Dante's changes were reverted when Technoblade became mayor following The Uprising.

Message in the Hub, from Dante
After the popular Hypixel YouTuber Technoblade went live about the Resistance Movement, a Twitter message from Hypixel's official Twitter, revealed a message from Dante. This message replaces the map in the Hub.

Trivia

 * He is dressed in a military uniform.
 * When he got elected, a secret movement in the Dark Auction House appeared.

 * replaced the well in the Village with his statue.
 * replaced normal Mayor Elections with Dante Elections in which he's the only candidate.
