The star of Capcom's Devil May Cry series since 2001, Dante is the son of the legendary Sparda, a devil lieutenant with a heart for humans who turned against the Devil Prince more than 2,000 years ago. He conquered the devil, permanently trapping him, and then left his evil past and the Underworld, so as to live with humankind. He married a woman who bore a half-devil, half-man child, Dante.
