Dante, also known as Son of Sparda, Tony Redgrave, Legendary Devil Hunter, The Legendary Dark Knight and The Strongest Demon Slayer, is the main protagonist of the Devil May Cry series.
== Charactah Account ==
The anti-hero half-human hybrid demon slayer son of an ascended demon named Sparda and a human named Eva. After losing his mother to demons as a child, Dante grows up to become a demon-hunting mercenary who runs his own devil-hunting business named Devil May Cry.
Being half-demon, Dante has super strength, nigh-invulnerability and a healing factor, along with the ability to transform into a demonic super mode called Devil Trigger. His weapons of choice are two custom handguns known as Ebony & Ivory, and a memento broadsword of his father's named Rebellion.
While often cocky, deep down he is a compassionate man devoted to fighting for the good of humanity and helping his friends. Still, he does like getting paid for it.

== Trivia ==
* Dante's name comes from Dante Alighieri, who was a great Florentine poet of the Middle Ages. His central work, Divine Comedy, is often referenced or used thematically throughout the Devil May Cry series.
* Dante seems to favor Jack Daniels, a brand of whiskey, as his preferred choice of alcohol. He is seen drinking this brand in the anime and several bottles of it are scattered around his office in the epilogue to Devil May Cry 4.
* In Devil May Cry 5: Before the Nightmare, it's revealed that Lucia has feelings for him after the two of them reunite in Vie de Marli and defeat the fire demon, Balrog.
* According to two different height charts that were officially made, Dante is 190 centimeters (6 feet 3 inches) tall. This trait is presumably shared by Vergil, by virtue of being his twin brother.
* Devil May Cry 5 marks the first time Dante's sword gets broken.
