Their first battle is on the highest level of Temen-Ni-Gru, where Dante is soundly defeated by Vergil, who then takes Dante's amulet. Vergil battles Dante three times in the Devil May Cry 3 storyline. To do so he needed Dante's half of their mother's amulet, so he lured his brother out with the intent of taking it by force. Throughout the game, Vergil seeks to undo the seal of Sparda inside the Temen-ni-gru and claim the entirety of their father's power for his own, regardless of the effects this will have on the human world. After he is betrayed by Arkham at the end of the game's second act (the end of mission 13), he temporarily teams up with Dante near the end, before reverting to his villain role. He is a chief antagonist in Devil May Cry 3 as well as a playable character in the game's Special Edition.

The character has been well received by gamers, and has often been listed as one of video gaming's coolest characters. Created to fit Hideki Kamiya's vision of a "cool and stylish" man, his personality was based on the titular character of manga series Cobra. As a result of his demonic heritage he possesses numerous superhuman abilities which he uses in combination with a variety of weapons to accomplish his goals. He is the son of Sparda, a demon of great power that rebelled against the demon emperor and defeated his army. (play the game to know more too much spoilers)ĭante is a mercenary dedicated to exterminating demons, a mission he follows in pursuit of those that killed his mother and corrupted his brother. He goes in search of answers to hopefully find his brother again and reveal more secrets. Dante fights off some monsters and found himself in the middle of a war which has something to do with his brother Vergil and the power of his great father, Sparda. Dante goes out in search of something more like exploring, and suddenly found himself in a situation which somehow, has a connection with the underworld. This Story starts of a couple of days/weeks after DMC 3 where Dante has defeated Arkham and has his brother still missing.
