==History==
The Legendary Dark Knight Sparda was renowned throughout the world as the demon that turned his back on his own kind and separated the Human World from the Demon World. After marrying the human Eva, both Vergil and Dante were born. But shortly after, Sparda disappeared, and Dante and his brother's lives would be forever changed after helplessly watching their own mother be murdered by demons. Left bitter by the event, Dante took it upon himself to hunt down any and all demons that meant harm to humans. And while he long despised his demonic heritage, refusing to utilize the abilities, he would eventually start to master them. Dante became a demon hunter for hire, taking on any demonic task as long as it pays, though he has made a few occasions when the fate of the world is at stake.
