Limbus Company begins with Dante (our clock-headed manager-protagonist) beset by three sinister individuals known as Wolf, Panther and Lion. These characters have parallels in the Inferno, by Dante Alighieri.In this episode, I draw upon some scholarship, a coupla wikis and my own general knowledge to pull together some additional information about the beasts, and what they mean, beyond what we are shown in the narrative thus far.Plus I have a go at dubbing said interlopers!References:https://danteworlds.laits.utexas.edu/https://worldofdante.iath.virginia.edu/comedy/dante/inferno.xml/1.1Demaray, J.
