Born to the legendary demon Sparda and a human mother, he runs a demon-hunting business and is driven by a mix of duty, personal vendettas, and a desire to protect humanity, often clashing with his twin brother, Vergil. His powers include superhuman strength, speed, and a "Devil Trigger" that enhances his demonic form. • Family: Twin brother to Vergil, with whom he has a complex, often adversarial relationship.

How he handles his weapons depends on which sword he is using: Rebellion or The Devil Sword. Personality: Dante, the iconic protagonist of Capcom's Devil May Cry franchise, is a flamboyant, wise-cracking demon hunter. Beneath his carefree, "devil-may-care" attitude lies a deeply layered, protective, and secretly troubled personality defined by trauma, fierce loyalty, and unwavering heroism. Cocky and Charismatic: Dante is known for his sharp tongue, flamboyant showmanship, and witty comebacks. Even in the face of life-or-death situations, he casually taunts enemies and toys with them as though they are mere playthings. Much of Dante's outward arrogance and joking nature acts as a defense mechanism against his internal sadness. His self-loathing regarding his demonic half—sparked by the trauma of losing his mother at a young age—is balanced by his determination to keep fighting for what is right. His love for his twin brother, Vergil, also fuels much of his conflict, which has evolved from bitter resentment into a resolved and deeply personal sibling rivalry. flamboyant antics (like dancing with his new motorcycle weapon in a cutscene, he even dkes Michael Jackson dance taunts). Deep Sense of Justice: Despite verbally complaining about being in debt and taking on a "job" just to pay the bills, Dante rarely enforces payment and is incredibly selfless. He fights for the greater good and rarely hesitates to protect humanity. A Mask for Trauma: His upbeat, goofy demeanor serves as a psychological coping mechanism to deal with his tragic past, particularly the murder of his mother by demons. Quirky Habits: Dante loves pizza (usually with "everything" on it) and strawberry sundaes. He is prone to ignoring serious matters if he finds them boring, but will immediately jump into action when demons or his estranged twin brother, Vergil, are involved. Laid-Back Mentor: As he has matured, Dante has evolved from a brash rebel into a wise, cooling presence. He serves as a laid-back, supportive mentor to his nieces and Nero, guiding them with humor and experience. With the Girls: Luna is Lucia’s little sister in the PGR lore. Because Dante serves as a central mentor/father figure to Lucia, this naturally extends to a protective relationship with her sister. The community frequently explores "Uncle Dante" tropes where he watches over the siblings and helps them reconcile with the traumatic events of their pasts. In combat frameworks (like Pyroath and Crimson Weave), Lucia and Luna adapts some of Dante’s fluid, aggressive, and highly mobile swordplay mechanics, acting almost like a stylistic counterpart to Dante's twin brother, Vergil the girls father. Lucia views Dante as a dependable mentor and father figure. In turn, Dante acts as a protective yet easygoing guardian, regularly training and hanging out with though Lucia gets slightly annoyed inherently like Vergil, Luna on the other hand joins In with Dante much to Lucia and Vergil's sanity. Weapons and Powers_and_abilities: Rebellion is Dante's trademark dark-forged greatsword. It is introduced in Devil May Cry 2 and appears throughout the series. It is one of the three legendary swords created alongside the Sparda and Yamato when the Dark Knight Sparda split his power into three pieces, and was named by him to embody "retaliation". To complement the Yamato, which can separate man from devil, the Rebellion can instead unite the two forces. Rebellion was eventually given to Dante as a keepsake from his father, and it was served as a catalyst that awakened his Devil Trigger power. The blade's power originally laid dormant, but through contact with Dante's blood, it was awakened, culminating in him using its intrinsic function to fully unite his human and demon halves, reforging the blade into the Devil Sword Dante. capable of withstanding hits from the space-cutting blade Yamato, Rebellion is a massive greatsword with a heavy double-edged blade, notched on both sides near the tip. In its dormant form, the pommel is a single spike, but after awakening, it splits open into several. The grip is plain, but the guard is skeletal, with a skull-design on each side leading to the rib cage from which the blade emerges; on one side of the blade, the skull is that of a human, while the other uses a horned demon skull. Initially, the crossguard is folded in against the ribs, but it extends and the skull transforms into a screaming skull once the sword is awakened by Dante's blood. Dante physically carries this sword on his back during gameplay. In the lore, when he is walking around the human world, he stores Rebellion in a guitar case so he doesn't attract unwanted attention. Devil Sword Dante: is the newly formed legendary devil sword of Dante, forged through employing the newfound power of his Sin Devil Trigger, which he awakened after impaling himself with his broken demonic sword Rebellion and merging himself with it along with his father's legendary blade, Sparda. The Devil Sword Dante's appearance, is relatively simple compared to its counterparts: appearing as a large two-handed sword made mostly of a dark substance that resembles solidified lava, with claws running up its length, talons for a handguard, and a red jewel on its pommel. When using Sin Devil Trigger as well as certain attacks, the blade splits open in the middle, increasing in length, while generating a second blade of fiery red energy. Dante magically summons this sword out of thin air directly into his hand during cutscenes. he is a multi-dimensional, reality-warping powerhouse. He possesses superhuman strength that can shatter dimensions, immeasurable speed, and near-instant regeneration. He is capable of easily defeating kings of hell and entities who control space and time. Dante has long surpassed the version of himself that defeated Mundus—a demon lord who created his own pocket universe. In Sin Devil Trigger form, Dante achieves this form by stabbing himself with his demonic blade. In this state, his power multiplies drastically, and his physical strikes can obliterate massive, multi-dimensional entities. • Immeasurable Speed: Dante has kept pace with demons (like Pluto) who can travel across the infinite distances of the underworld instantly. Reaction Time: Even in his base form, his reaction time and combat speed far exceed the speed of light, allowing him to effortlessly dodge complex attacks from high-tier demons. • Regeneration: Dante recovers from fatal wounds, such as being repeatedly impaled by massive weapons, torn apart and even shot in the head and beheaded, in mere seconds. Royal Guard: Dante's signature combat style allows him to absorb and completely negate any attack's damage, then release that absorbed kinetic energy back at his opponents with devastating force. Ebony and Ivory: Ebony & Ivory are Dante's trademark pair of personally customized, semi-automatic pistols, designed to rapidly fire bullets instilled with his demonic power, and are one of the several firearms to appear in every Devil May Cry game series. The left-handed black gun, Ebony, has been modified for long-distance targeting and comfort, Ebony & Ivory are both M1911 -style handguns chambered for the .45 ACP round, and boast a plethora of customized features: • while the right-handed white gun, Ivory, was custom built for rapid firing and fast draw times. Both pistols have been modified with pivot-style triggers as opposed to the 1911's usual straight-pull trigger, this modification resembles the Browning Hi-Power pistol. • Both feature custom sight systems; Ebony uses a set of target sights, while Ivory uses a pair of combat sights • Both feature ported muzzle compensators that reduce recoil and counteract muzzle flip. Both barrels are extended through the compensators and are ported to match the cuts in the compensators. • Both use custom slides that have been noticeably thickened and reinforced along the slide travel rails and around the chamber and firing mechanism. The result is a slide that bears a resemblance to SIG-Sauer's M1911 line. • Rails have been bolted to the forward portion of both frames. These rails are used to hold the compensators in place. • Both guns feature slam-pads • Both have gold-plated magazine releases, hammers, safety switches and triggers. • Ebony features a hooked, two-handed trigger-guard, while Ivory uses a more traditional rounded trigger-guard. • Both weapons use ergonomic wood grips which are inlaid with portraits of Victorian women; as befits their names, Ebony's is dark-haired, and Ivory's is fair-haired. • Ebony's ejection port is located on the left side of the weapon, as opposed to the right side (as Ebony is meant to be used left-handed, this causes spent brass to be ejected away from Dante.) • Both weapons have an outside extractor, resembling Browning Hi-Power pistols. Sin Devil Trigger form: Sin Devil Trigger (SDT) is Dante’s ultimate, most powerful demonic form in the Devil May Cry series, appearing prominently in Devil May Cry 5. It represents a full unification of his human soul and demonic heritage, granting him massive attack power, invincibility frames during activation, and a unique, devastating moveset. Appearance: Dante's Sin Devil Trigger is a highly evolved, towering draconic-humanoid form composed of metallic and black demonic stone armor over square-scaled skin. The transformation is heavily defined by elements of incandescent magma and constant shifting energy. Head & Horns: Dante’s face becomes completely demonic and bestial. He sports a set of swept-back, elongated horns extending from his forehead. The top of his head features a burning crest of fiery energy. Wings: He possesses two pairs of wide, serrated wings (four wings total) that are webbed and dragon-like.The Core: His chest and face split open with glowing, incandescent orange and red lava-like energy, resembling the fire demon Berial. Body Texture: His armor plates resemble jagged rock or obsidian stone. The underlying exposed flesh is completely covered in dark, square reptilian scales. Flames & Aura: The entire form is perpetually wreathed in roaring demonic fire and radiates a dense heat. • Improved Deconstruction (Atomic; With Ebony & Ivory, caused Gilver's body and weapons to "evaporate", destroying him "molecule by molecule" until no atom remained[3]) • name) • Power Nullification via Darkness Manipulation (In his Demon Form he is capable of engulfing his foes in complete darkness,[25] consuming them in fear and terror and causes them to revert to their natural state) • Rage Power (Dante is capable of becoming stronger and faster when he is enraged, easily killed a demon when he got mad at Jessica's demise,[21] or when he became enraged at Mundus, unlocking power on par with him[22] and was also capable of unleashing his magical aura, after witnessing Trish get killed by Mundus, or when he became angry with Chen[23]) • Instinctive Action (Dante's muscle memory can put him into combat stance without him thinking about it, and he can dodge faster than he can think[20]) • Limited Toon Force (Non-Combat Applicable; Showed to have this ability a few times in his life, like when he played Nevan,[17] or when he performed a Shakespearean play[18] and when he danced in the same style as Michael Jackson[19]) • Social Influencing (Social Position & Reputation: Dante had a major impact on the underworld. During his mercenary career as Tony Redgrave, Dante's reputation grew with each gang he crushed and he completely ignored the local power structure. The influence and reputation of the mercenaries grew thanks to Tony alone. He had also starting two trends; several mercenaries have become independent and avoiding unnecessary killings like him, and the reputation and entire way of life of old-school gangsters like Denvers was threatened because of that.[16] After his mercenary career as Tony Redgrave, Dante became the pioneer of Devil Hunting and is considered the greatest Devil Hunter.
