I created Dante with his eventual transformation into a Dark Knight type of character planned since way back in 1.0 before hey even announced AF jobs. They second I heard of Paladins being a thing in FFXIV he was to officially become a DRK.
That said though the way things have developed in game are a bit odd at best and while at his core he still has all of the traits of a DRK(Its creepy and eery actually considering how well he has fit with the actual lore when I made it blindly) except for the need to defend those outside of his little world of people he cares about.
What he is though is constantly desperate for power, something that has been a constant from the beginning. I mean, he attends the Grindstone on the off chance that all of the battle going on possibly open a Chakra inside of him, forged a blade so he wouldnt forget his past failures, and his emotions literally channel his aether.
The only kicker is that he doesnt actually know what a dark knight really /is/ yet, so he doesnt claim it, much like he doesnt claim being a monk as he believes it is not a way of life for him, but a means to an end.
