Ok... cool... but wasn't the whole premise of Dante's Inferno about dante travelling through hell to get to his true love, Beatrice? Last I checked, Buck and Dare were the ones with that were romantically involved... nice try, but I think they are simple references done out of respect to a great poet and nothing else.
Nah, that's the premise of the new game that's coming out, based loosely (and I mean very loosely) on the poem. Dante's Divine Comedy is about Dante traveling through Hell, Purgatory, and eventually Heaven, to meet God/find himself/all that good stuff. All along the way, making examples of the current problems in society, though that happens mostly in the Inferno.

The Engineers sacrificed themselves to make sure Vergil gets away He never betrayed anyone since Engineers were forced to be part of the Covies
He betrayed the Covenant as a whole, turning against them, and eventually siding with the humans. Turning against your side of the war (whether or not you actually WANTED to be a part of it) and going to the other side is pretty much one of the biggest acts of betrayal possible.
I don't think that any of the characters in the game allude to one specific character in the Inferno, save for the Rookie (and Sadie) being Dante, going through hell. The Superintendent/Vergil plays the part of Virgil, but then when he is downloaded/absorbed/whatever by the engineer, he now plays the part of the greatest betrayer.
