I'm sure you've heard this so called legend before. The legend of a demon. The most powerful of his kind. None were even close to equal to his power.
However, he betrayed his own kind. Fought against them to protect humanity from the demonic invasions to come.
He battled against the Prince of darkness, Mundus. The general of hell's armies.
He defeated the armies of hell, and Mundus single handedly, protecting mankind, and sealing the demon world with his blade, Yamato, and the perfect amulet. However, the demon in this tale left a fraction of his power in the demon world, sealed away to keep it from falling into the wrong hands.
He then took on a human appearance despite being a devil, and even though he was a demon, he fell in love with a human. The two then had children. Twins to be exact.
"Vergil." A female's voice said before speaking a second name. "Dante."
He gave the oldest twin Yamato, and the youngest a blade called Rebellion.
However... Sometime before their eighth birthday, their demon father vanished, assumed dead. When the twins turned eight, their mother gave each of them an amulet. Little did they know that they were each half of the perfect amulet.
The brothers may have shown love for one another, but they're rivalry always existed. The oldest usually proved to be superior, but he failed one thing.
Mundus, after hearing of the demon's death, decided to try and kill the remainder of his family out of both a want for vengeance, and fear the twins would one day be capable of stopping him just as their father once did. He succeeded in killing their mother.
The twins were separated, not knowing what happened to one another. The oldest blamed himself, believing he was not strong enough to protect his mother. He believed that he could've saved her if he were stronger. Power. Power controls everything.
I'm sure you've guessed the name of the demon by now. His name was Sparda. How do I know all of this? Well... I am the oldest of his twin sons.
