Within a short time he gained his full powers and took over the Devil Throne. His first act as ruler of all devils was to declare himself emperor of the Devil Kingdom. His next feat was an invasion of the human world. His plan was to conquer it and rule over both the lower and the upper realms. 2
But a powerful devil-knight known as Sparda took pity on humans for their brief, transient lives. Leading a rebel force, he defeated all the Devil ruler s armies and finally imprisoned the emperor himself in a sealed vault. Having achieved his victory, Sparda abandoned the Devil Kingdom to live in the human world. He married a human woman and soon fathered a half devil, half human son. But beware, mankind. After 2000 years, the cursed Devil Emperor will be released and will return to invade the human world once again. Sparda s son must be our protector! From Devil World History (age unknown), housed in the Library of Forbidden Books. DANTE Dante is a freelance underground mercenary in modern America. However, he has a secret persona that s even more extraordinary. He slays blood-thirsty devils from the depth of burning hell with his huge sword and dual-wielded handguns.

She possesses supernatural power and vast knowledge about devils. It is also said that she knows Dante s secret history. But what is her true identity and purpose? 3 3

Standing on the very top of that tower, lit by the faint light of the moon, is his older twin brother Vergil, who had seemingly disappeared from the face of the earth years ago And surrounding him are countless fierce demons! 6
Although both Dante and Vergil share the same blood of Sparda, they have completely different goals. And so Dante heads off towards the tower, to settle things once and for all with Vergil. Meanwhile, the devil hunter Lady is also making her way toward this mysterious tower, with a score of her own to settle. And so, the wheels of fate start to turn for the humans, demons and men who are both. DANTE Dante is a Devil Hunter who fights with his trademark twin handguns and a sword. With the blood of the demon hero Sparda running through his veins, he possesses extraordinary powers beyond those of any human. Though easy-going and always ready to joke, his spirit is steadfast and passionately hates evil. In his soul Dante harbors the strength to carry through with his beliefs no matter what! VERGIL Vergil is Dante s twin brother. Just like Dante, he has the blood of Sparda running in his veins. But unlike Dante, he has chosen to follow the path of demons, not humans. Vergil believes power is the ultimate goal. He will stop at nothing to acquire power anywhere and by any means. The polar opposite of Dante, he is cool, calm and collected to the point of being cold and heartless. ARKHAM Arkham works closely with Vergil. Although human, he is driven to become a demon. LADY Demon Hunter Lady is as fierce as they come! She despises demons and her life s work is to destroy them all. That goes for Dante as well, with half-demon halfhuman blood coursing through his veins! But first she s out to get Arkham and arrives at the tower, hot on his trail. 7
