According to legend, 200 years ago while snow was falling on a clear, freezing night on earth, a fierce devil prince was born deep in the darkest pit of the netherworld.
He grew rapidly. Within a short time he gained his full powers and took over the Devil Throne. His first act as ruler of all devils was to declare himself emperor of the Devil Kingdom. His next feat was an invasion of the human world. His plan was to conquer it and rule over both the lower and upper realms.
But a powerful devil-knight known as Sparda took pity on humans for their brief, transient lives. In fierce battles he defeated all the Devil ruler's armies and finally imprisoned the emperor himself in a sealed vault.
Having achieved his victory, Sparda abandoned the Devil Kingdom to live in the human world. He married a human woman and soon fathered a half devil, half human son.
All of this is true. It tells of two millennia ago, in the darkest reaches of hell, a demon swordsman named Sparda, awoke to justice and rebelled against the devil to wage a one-man war to save the human world from damnation. Now, 2000 years later, a dark figure named Dante finds clues that the devil is rallying to rise up again against mankind. Who was Sparda and how does Dante fit into this gothic puzzle? Deep within Dante's blood lies the power of ancient demons and the key to defeat the hoards of the dark realm. Somewhere between a man and a demon lies our only chance for salvation. If he succeeds, the Devil May Cry!
If you still don't believe this here's a testimony:
"Dante? Yeah I know him. Doing this kind of business myself, I seen tons of dangerous guys… but I don't know anybody as crazy. First off, he is one skilled dude. I seen him take on a dozen villains with only his strange sword…the one he calls woozy. He doesn't raise an eyebrow, even when a bullet grazes his nose. Besides, he's weird. If he doesn't like a job, he won't take it even for a pile of c notes up to the ceiling. But say its something bizarre like ghost hunting or devil purification, he jumps right on it…it don't matter if there's a reward or not. Rumor says blue blood may be flowing in that guy's body. I tell ya, if he glares at a guy, even the DEVIL MAY CRY."
