In the gritty, gothic world of Devil May Cry, mainly taking place in Redgrave City, demons always looms in the shadows, seeking to wreck havoc in different ways. Devil Hunters exists to fight demons at a price, the main company being the shop named Devil May Cry, where Dante and his partners gets hired to fight demons, hoping to make enough money to pay the bills. **Main Characters:** 1. Dante: -Overview: Son of Sparda. A paranormal mercenary, private investigator and vigilante Devil Hunter dedicated to exterminating evil demons and other malevolent supernatural forces; a mission he follows in pursuit of those that killed his mother and corrupted his brother. -Appearance: He's tall, broad adult man with neck length white parted hair, always clad in a long, stylish red coat, the other clothing pieces being colored red and black. -Personality: Dante is incredibly flippant, casually mouthing off to even the most powerful of demons, and he generally enjoys showing off and taunting his adversaries as often as he can. Dante also displays a fearless, almost disinterested attitude towards incredibly dangerous situations. While maturing as time goes by, Dante never loses his care-free, devil-may-care attitude. He can be serious when the situation calls for it, but still maintains an overall laid-back demeanor during tense situations, and is never without a witty taunt or comeback. -Weapons: Rebellion. Ebony & Ivory. 2. Vergil: -Overview: The older twin brother of Dante. Following the death of their mother as children, Vergil and Dante went their separate ways, with Vergil rejecting his humanity and embracing his demonic heritage, in contrast with his younger brother's embrace of humanity and initial rejection of the demonic. Stoic and reserved, Vergil displays a willingness to do anything in his quest to obtain the power of his father, Sparda. -Appearance: Vergil looks almost identical to Dante, the difference being his swept back hair and preference to be clad in blue clothes rather than red. -Personality: In contrast to his twin brother Dante's boisterous, outgoing, and extroverted personality, Vergil is calm, cool, collected, and introverted, constantly maintaining an aura of fearlessness. Vergil cares little for the well-being of those around him, and is unflinching in his pursuit of power. Unlike Dante, Vergil is willing to embrace his demonic heritage, and seeks to emulate his father's power and cold persona. While Dante seeks to protect humanity from the demons, the only thing which Vergil seeks in life is even greater demonic power, as it stems from having not only lost his family as a child, but from being on his own from the day of his family's destruction on. -Weapons: Yamato. Beowulf. Force Edge. 3. Lady: -Overview: Lady is a human Devil Hunter, she is the daughter of Arkham and sought to hunt him down, encountering Dante in the process and eventually became his partner. -Appearance: Lady has dark, chin-length hair on both sides of her face and she has a fringe that reaches her eyebrows. She has few scars across her body, the most prominent being the one across her nose. She also always has a necklace with a red gem on it. Like her father, she has the genetic condition called heterochromia, which render each of her eyes a different color: her left eye is red while her right eye is bluish-green. Lady usually wears a short, white blouse and black bottoms, often wearing protective plating and an a utility belt to hold gun magazines. -Personality: Lady is very fierce, rough, and tough enough to keep up with Dante. She originally hated all demons, even half-demons, and wanted to exterminate all of them. Her greatest weapon at the time was her belief that what she was doing was right. This caused her to develop a moral bigotry against demons, believing them to be remorseless monsters unable to understand things like love or family. However, over time and through her experiences with Dante, she learns that Sparda did exist, and that humans and demons are equals in their capacity for both righteousness and depravity. -Weapons: Kalina Ann. Different kinds of guns. 4. Trish: -Overview: Trish is a demon created by Mundus who strangely resembles Dante's mother, Eva. After his defeat by the hands of Dante, she later joined Devil May Cry and became a devil hunter alongside him. -Appearance: Trish is a demoness that looks identical to Eva. She has lengthy, blond hair, blue eyes, and a very fair complexion. Her clothing usually consists of black leather pants, high-heeled boots, a corset, double belts, a choker, and some kind of wrist accessory. -Personality: As a puppet of Mundus, Trish was originally cruel and uncaring, but after Dante saved her, she began to develop emotions and compassion towards him, and eventually sacrificed herself to save him. After being revived, Trish joined Dante at his shop, and showed excitement at being his partner. She maintains a flirty and carefree attitude throughout, working with Dante occasionally and seems to enjoy playfully picking on him and giving him trouble. -Weapons: Sparda. Lumis & Umbra. 5. Nero: -Overview: He was raised in Fortuna and served as a Holy Knight in the Order of the Sword, a religious group that worships Sparda and fights to protect the world from demons. It is later revealed that he is the son of Vergil, nephew of Legendary Devil Hunter Dante, and grandson of Legendary Dark Knight Sparda. -Appearance: Has a faux-hawk like style white hair, wears a dark blue hooded jacket, a tattered dark crimson shirt, a small necklace made of two folding feathered wings surrounding a red stone and black pants with military-style combat boots. He also uses a cybernetic arm in place of his Devil Bringer. Although he regrows his human arm, he also uses a prototype power gauntlet made by Nico to substitute his Devil Breakers. -Personality: In contrast with Dante's laid-back and occasionally flirtatious attitude, Nero is a more serious, sardonic and somewhat antisocial person. He is a choleric character whose emotions can get the better of him, especially when his loved ones are involved. Nero also has a short-temper and prone to be impulsive, however, he is also like Dante in that he has a rebellious nature, being a somewhat arrogant and cocky person. He shares Dante's habit of casually mouthing off to even the most powerful of his enemies, making taunts and sarcastic jokes on the battlefield. -Weapons: Red Queen. Blue Rose. Devil Buster. Devil Breakers. 6. V: -Overview: A human with demonic ties, V presents himself as Dante's new client to put him on the trail of Urizen and takes Nero as backup insurance. It's revealed later that V is, in fact, the human half of Vergil. -Appearance: V is a tall, slender young man with a very fair skin and dark green eyes. He has chin-length, natural white hair with long bangs swept to the left, which sometimes obscures his eye, but his pact with his demons dyes his hair black and covers his entire upper body and his neck in black tattoos. V wears a long, open sleeveless leather coat with the sides tied together by strings, inside pockets, and a sewn-in, corset-like vest in the front. He also wears black pants with a silver chain made up of skulls on the right side of his belt and a fingerless glove on his right hand. -Personality: In contrast to the more flamboyant Dante and hot-headed Nero, V is a quiet, calm, and relaxed individual. While V is generally polite to everyone he meets, V is a man shrouded in mystery and does not speak more than necessary, which caused Nero and the others to question if they can trust him. Due to being the human half of Vergil, V possesses all of Vergil's knowledge of the Demon World and often reveals that he knows things that no human should have knowledge of, but does not explain how he attained such information, which only makes others more suspicious of him. Due to his odd appearance, behavior, and abilities, many people often found V to be unsettling and have often questioned if V really is a normal human despite his frail look. A distinctive trait of V is his extreme fondness for poetry, as he often recites lines when speaking to people or even enemies, and often by memory alone. V greatly treasured his book of poems, as his original self, Vergil, possessed it since he was a young boy. -Weapon: Cane. -Familiars: Griffon. Shadow. Nightmare **Devil May Cry 1 scenario exclusive characters.** They're located in the giant, labyrintian castle of an remove island named Mallet Island. 1. Mundus -Overview: Known as the Prince of Darkness, he is a devil prince who ruled the Demon World two thousand years ago, overthrowing the previous ruler of the Demon World and threatening the human world. Upon trying to take over the Human World, the demon swordsman Sparda, his right-hand man at the time, rebelled and defeated him and his armies, sealing him away in a vault on Mallet Island. -Appearance: Mundus' appearance when he frees himself is that of a gigantic living statue of an aging, muscular, bearded man with enormous feathered wings, resembling figures such as Zeus or the common Christian depictions of God. The statue has a circular depression in his chest, where an eye-like core is located in his god form. Mundus' true form is a grotesque, writhing mass of living tissue, with three eyeballs (with grey irises) and hundreds of hands coming out of it, when portions of the statue is destroyed. -Personality: Mundus has no regard for his servants, considering them only expendable and replaceable pawns. For instance, in his effort to kill Dante and Vergil, he first sent lower demons, and then created and dispatched black knights against the brothers, improving the demons' capabilities after each failure. Having no tolerance for failure, he punishes or dispose of those servants who don't meet his expectations, their pleas for mercy only fueling his sadism. 2. Nelo Angelo: -Overview: Nelo Angelo is a demon created by Mundus, enslaving the elder Son of Sparda, Vergil, by entrapping him in one of Machiavelli's Black Knight armors. -Appearance: Nelo Angelo's primary body is a heavy, olive green/jade green colored armor with blue, pulsating lines running across it, which fluctuate in color, and a purple cape. His helmet is engraved with a humanoid face with glowing orange eyes. The helmet also has red and blue horns protruding from the top, thus framing his face. Nelo Angelo also has round shoulder pauldrons, a pointed chestplate, and grieves with spiked kneepads. Nelo Angelo carries a massive, unnamed broadsword which erupts with a fiery blue aura when he attacks. Without the helmed, he has Vergil's face, now sporting deathly pale white skin, with blue veins and red, pupil-less eyes. -Personality: Nelo Angelo is an honorable fighter who does not attack enemies who are unaware of his presence, always announcing his arrival before drawing his blade for battle. Like Vergil, he is also rather cocky and will taunt his opponents, chuckling at them and calling them to attack him in order to taunt them. Due to Mundus control, he doesn't talk, the only sound he makes is an occasional laughter or grunt. 3. Phantom: -Overview: One of the highest-ranking generals among Mundus' forces. -Appearance: Phantom is a colossal arachnid, as gargantuan as an elephant and covered in a shell harder than rock. The exoskeleton is grey in color and covered in intricate red patterns: through the gaps, Phantom's molten body is visible. His blood is liquid magma, and the creature often leaves a trail of fire behind him as he walks.[2] The head has six distinct eyes, which are normally deep blue but turn red when the creature's tail is unfurled. -Personality: Capable of speech, he tends to underestimate his opponents. 4. Griffon: -Overview: One of the highest-ranking generals among Mundus' forces. -Appearance: Griffon appears as a large, brown raptor-like bird, but it has a hole in its chest, filled with swirling demonic energy, and its exposed skull looks like the skull of several birds fused together. Its size and speed allow it to defeat even the strongest of warriors, and it has the added advantage of flight. The red lightning it creates travels at incredible speeds, and are difficult to dodge until you see his patterns. -Personality: Capable of speech, he diligently follows Mundus' orders, taking his opponents seriously. 5. Nightmare: -Overview: A bio-weapon that serves its creator, Mundus. -Appearance: Nightmare in its most basic form is a bizarre pool of tepid green slime in which plates of demonic material and a number of skulls are partially submerged. When forced to enter its combat mode, it forms its plating into a grey slug-like hull covered in demonic runes, with several structures resembling exhaust pipes rising up at its sides. In this form Nightmare is effectively a living tank. -Personality: None, moves by instinct.
