Biography[]

Dante is a cambion (half demon, half human) being the son of the human woman Eva and the Demon Knight Sparda, along with his twin brother Vergil. He is a lone Demon Hunter who works through privately paid contracts, and deals with the supernatural practically every day of his life. When in hiding he went under the alias Tony Redgrave, and was gifted a keepsake from his father, the sword Rebellion, while his brother received the Yamato. The brothers split up, Dante believing Vergil to be dead, and choosing to become a Demon Hunter for hire, believing it to be the only thing he was good at. He chose to name his headquarters shop "Devil May Cry"

Despite his parents being dead, Dante's brother Vergil still lives wondering the earth with his sword. Also, Vergil has a son named Nero, a young devil hunter who started a Mobile Fortuna branch of Dante's business. Dante is usually the only worker at the shop, yet his friends Trish ( full name Beatrice, an electricity demon who resembles his mother), and Lady ( real name Mary, a heterochromic eyed gunslinger), who both show him up and tease him frequently. At a time a young girl name Patty Lowell lived in the shop, but left later. He is usually helped with contracts by a broker named Morrison.

He currently lives in Redgrave City, and operates in the it and the areas surrounding it, and if paid enough will take a job anywhere.
