Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Brunetto Latini was one of the Damned which Dante must punish or absolve for “The Damned” and “Old Friend” achievement/trophy. If the player punished him, the “Old Friend” achievement would be locked out. He was encountered in the circle of Violence among the Abominable Sands.

Detailed explanation-2: -When he was alive, Brunetto Latini was Dante’s guardian, mentor, and teacher. Dante’s portrayal of Latini in the ‘ ‘Divine Comedy’ ‘ is complex, since Latini appears in Hell but is characterized lovingly.

Detailed explanation-3: -“Brunetto was the first Italian author of a long poem … the first Dante, in a sense. But he failed because he died before finishing his poem.” In fact, because Brunetto was Dante’s teacher, Dante may feel-even as his teacher is punished in hell-that Brunetto still sees himself as the master.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dante imagined a journey through the three kingdoms of the afterlife, where he intended to explore the suffering of hell, the repentance of purgatory, and the ascent toward God in paradise so as to show to humanity the way that had been lost.
