By the time Dante was 15 he had decided to search for his mother and found out that he had been sheltered from a world at war with Demons. He was stunned to find that the entire world had been infected by the Demons, after feeling that his father had failed.

Now believing that Demon tyranny took his mother from him, Dante took up his keepsake; The Rebellion Blade left to him by Sparda and became a Vigilante Devil Hunter or Demon Slayer. It has been two years since then and Dante has not been followed or tracked by anyone since.

Calm and mellow on the outside, deeply twisted within

His mother, Eva raised Dante for most of his life, who taught him to love the world and that every being alive had good in them, because Sparda himself proved that. She also taught him that on the other side of the coin that everyone was not without sin and that he must stay strong at all times. This caused Dante to constantly embrace his human heritage and strived to become a great and noble person.

Dante's brother was older then he and was a much darker person. Dante resented Vergil because they looked so much alike, and they were so different anyway. Vergil had always had an interest in demons which scared Dante as a child so he grew up to want to stop Vergil from going against their mothers wishes.
