The oft - repeated claims (which appear again in The Da Vinci Code) that Leonardo da Vinci believed the golden ratio is the ratio

role in the early part
of Brown's novel, seem to be without foundation.
While
human interference played a
role in this dog's present day look and demeanor, nature is what ultimately shaped its genetic makeup from the start, creating the
perfect canine beast suited to dominate the rugged highlands
of the Caucasus Mountain Ranges.
Dante was a wise cracking half demon half
human badass, the
perfect protagonist for the gothic setting
of the first three DMC games, with Dante giving over the main character
role to Nero in Devil May Cry 4.
