careless, selfish and uncaring of anyone or anything else. Though when he is selfless, he's selfless to the point that he's almost suicidal
Burbled – Possibly a mixture of "bleat", "murmur", and "warble"
An alternate version is, another wolf is sneaking around looking for a sheep for dinner, and pounces on the wolf in sheep's clothing, killing it and eating it for supper instead of a real sheep.
The intended lesson was, "Frauds and liars are always discovered, eventually, and pay for their actions accordingly."
[edit] Usage
In English, "a wolf in sheep's clothing" has become a common metaphor for any hidden danger, or for any enemy putting on a false display of friendship. As a result, the phrase "a sheep in wolf's clothing" has also become used, ironically, for something or someone harmless who blusters or tries to appear menacing.
Winston Churchill once described a political opponent (either Clement Atlee or Ramsay MacDonald depending upon sources) as a sheep in sheep's clothing. [1]
The image of a wolf in sheep's clothing is echoed in Matthew 7:15, which states, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
Growing up as half of something is always hard, especially when you don't have a father, or a family member that can guide you into understanding your other half. Understanding the human world is the easy part, as Dante grew up in the human world with his mother before she died. However, there is the constant need for blood, and the need to kill, which is part of his demon self.
So there's the need to be a demon, the instincts that drive him—and then there's his human morality, and the stories of his father that he's heard. So, he's not quite sure how to be. Whether he should care about humans or save them, and as crass as Dante can be, he's still confused.
