Nelo Angelo

Nelo Angelo, also known as Black Angel, Black Knight, Dark Angel and Jet-Black Knight, is a character from the Devil May Cry series.
== Charactah Account ==
Nelo Angelo is a demon created by Mundus enslaving the elder Son of Sparda Vergil, entrapping him in one of Machiavelli's Black Knight armors.
Since Vergil serves as the basis of Nelo Angelo, he possesses a similar personality, though much more subdued. Nelo Angelo is an honorable fighter who does not attack enemies who are unaware of his presence, always announcing his arrival before drawing his blade for battle. Like Vergil, he is also rather cocky and will taunt his opponents, chuckling at them and calling them to attack him in order to taunt them.
Nelo Angelo mirrors Dante's moveset, with his attacks possessing greater power and reach due to his weapon's larger size. He attacks with slow but powerful sword slashes and punches that he chains together and he can fire explosive azure blasts. Nelo Angelo is capable of teleporting great distances in a blaze of azure flames. He uses his large sword as a shield and in his final fight he uses Summoned Swords as a long-ranged weapons in various formations.

== Trivia ==
* Nelo Angelo's battle theme, Ultra Violet, bears similarities to Sparda's second battle theme, S. The composer stated this was done to foreshadow the connection between Nelo Angelo and Sparda.
* Although Corrupt Vergil appears as a DLC outfit in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, his Nelo Angelo Devil Trigger was excluded due to technical difficulties implementing the model with Vergil's character frame. Instead, he is given Sparda's Devil Trigger, and paired with Yamato, unintentionally referencing the original Devil May Cry's unlockable Sparda costume, where the Yamato was first introduced. Later, In Vergil's campaign in Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition, Corrupt Vergil once again eschews the Nelo Angelo Devil Trigger in favor of Sparda's true form; interestingly, the Yamato's sheath grafted to Vergil's left arm in Devil Trigger is also grafted to Sparda's left arm.
* The English name of Vergil's Level 3 Hyper Combo in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Dark Angel, is a direct reference to Nelo Angelo.
* In Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition, while using his Nelo Angelo Devil Trigger seen with his "Corrupt Vergil" costume, Nelo Angelo is able to verbalize words while taunting (e.g. "Come on!"), despite the fact that Nelo Angelo was incapable of speech in the original Devil May Cry.
