Technically, he's a major canon character and a major Real World author, even if the canon is mercifully ignored by almost all of the Pit. I mean - would you conscript Tolkien to the PPC cause by travelling back in time and kidnapping him?
I don't mean to piss on your parade, in a manner of speaking in mixed metaphors, but it seems a little dubious.
For an action department, as he was an expert in making the punishment fit the crime.

If it won't work, it won't work.
Since the Divine Comedy is technically RPF (Virgil, anyone?) and a self-insert, one could count it as fanfic and therefore make a case for recruiting the Divine Comedy version of Dante.
...What exactly do you want? Are we going to make him a patron saint or an agent or what?
It's just that it seemed to jump out of left field rather, you see? Maybe you could tell us a little more about him (I'm presuming)?
Or perhaps he could be adopted as a patron saint of PPC-the saint of retribution.
Specifically Rule 261:
261. There is no patron saint of the PPC. I am not dead, nor good and pure enough to qualify.
-I may not mint saint's medals with my face on them.
-Unless I stop selling them at ludicrous prices.
I feel rather lacking in context.
Is an acronym for "Things I am not allowed to do at the PPC," a list similar to those for Hogwarts and other canon/fandom settings.
