Count Ungolino is one of the damned in which Dante must either punish or absolve for "The Damned" achievement. He is encountered in the circle of Treachery.

Description

Count Ungolino was an Italian nobleman and politician whose life was sewn together only by the fibers of treachery. Always pitting one man against another as blood spilled, he thought of no one other than himself.

Trivia

  • In "The Inferno", Dante and Virgil witness the soul of Count Ungolino, frozen within the ice of Cocytus' second round: Antenora. He is gnawing on the head of his lifelone foe, Archbishop Ruggieri, and he tells Dante and Virgil his sad story of betrayal, imprissonment, and death.
