Dante from Devil May Cry 4

Dante is the main character of the Devil May Cry series. He carries a pair of guns named Ebony & Ivory and a sword. He is half human and half demon, as is his twin brother Vergil, and he can activate Devil Trigger to use his demon side. He is seemingly immortal. He is known for acting cool and his trash talking.

[edit] Devil May Cry

Dante is the main character in this game. He is very comical, and has mysterious demon powers that he doesn't know much about. He works in his own company "Devils Never Cry", where he goes out and takes down demons. He doesn't know much about his past and goes to Mallet Island to learn more about it. He eventually finds out that he is the son of the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda, and that this is where his demonic powers come from. His quest is to defeat one of the demons that his father was able to lock away, named Mundus.

[edit] Devil May Cry 2

Much different than the previous installment, in Devil May Cry 2, Dante is a lot more silent, and most of his witty remarks are gone. He is no longer the smart back-talking charismatic character that he was in Devil May Cry 1. He now seems to have matured greatly, and seems to accept everything that has been thrown at him, and looks to defeat anything that remains in his path. He goes to help Lucia fend off the demons that Arius has released on her island. He in this game now must stop Arius from taking over the world.

Dante's appearance in DMC 3

Dante is younger and more cocky than ever before in this installment. While lazing around his day is interrupted by an intrusion in his office. His brother Vergil is sending for him, for reasons unknown. Soon after in the opening sequence carnage erupts and you are propelled into the game. Much to the delight of female fans around the world, Dante has no top on in this game for the first level and you can see his chest. He still sports his red leather trench-coat to cool effect while doing his various moves. The silent Dante of Devil May Cry 2 is no more and we are back to the bantering and insulting between Dante and major enemies. What will be said when Dante and Vergil come face to face remains to be seen....

[edit] Devil May Cry 4

The star of the series, Dante the half-devil returns in the fourth instalment, and potentially in a new role. Armed with his trusty pistols Ebony and Ivory and his sword Rebellion, it appears that Dante is going up against a religious group known as the Order of the Sword, based in the city of Fortuna, who worship the legend of Sparda and hunt demons. For the first time in the series Dante will have to share the spotlight with another, the young demon hunter Nero who also seems to have some kind of link to the Sparda bloodline.
