Background:
- In an alternate version of the Vandread Universe, the legacy of Sparda survives into the far future, thanks to the actions of his sons - Dante and Vergil - his grandson, Nero, and their allies: Trish, Lady, Lucia, and Kyrie. A new descendant of Sparda rises to aid the planets of Taraak and Megele, and to keep the separated parts of humanity from dying at the hands of the Harvesters. To that end, he will aid his adopted brother - Hibiki - and the female pirates whose crew he becomes part of, and fight alongside them to keep their future safe from the dark forces that threaten them, with all the skills, training, and sheer power of his demonic heritage, alongside the advanced technology of their time, and the vast arcane and demonic knowledge left to him by the Legendary Dark Knight himself.
- As of the future events in Vandread, Evander has successfully completed the trials below, the same as Dante and Vergil in their years as the reformed Sons of Sparda, and defeated the higher level demons as well, gaining many of them as Devil Arms for his personal use:
