Dante
"Though a fight every now and then does make life a little more interesting, don't ya think?"
― Dante, Devil May Cry 4
Dante is the main protagonist of the Devil May Cry series. He is the second son of the Demon Sparda and the Human Eva, and the younger twin brother of Vergil. As such, he is a half-Demon, half-Human hybrid. Dante is a mercenary dedicated to exterminating evil Demons; a mission he follows in pursuit of those that killed his mother and corrupted his brother.
Description and Appearance
Devil May Cry started development as Resident Evil 4[1], so Dante has a strong resemblance to Leon Kennedy. Like his father and brother, Dante has white hair. It remains in a fairly consistent style throughout his appearances, although there are a few minor changes. In Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 4 his hair is somewhat parted with his bangs brushed down; in Devil May Cry 3 his hair is simply brushed down, and in Devil May Cry 2 his hair is parted with his bangs in front of his right eye. Dante's most obvious design trait is his affinity for red-colored apparel, in the form of a long, two tailed coat. Dante's coat is red because the color traditionally represents a heroic figure in Japanese culture. In Devil May Cry 3, the coat had zippers on the sleeves and a buckle around the waist, but after Dante's first battle with Vergil, the right sleeve is damaged and Dante tears it off. In the first game and the anime, the coat seems to be fairly plain with an upturned collar and short sleeves with black cuffs, though the coat lacks coattails. In Devil May Cry 4, the coat is given a much more detailed and stylish look, with oriental accents. Finally, in Devil May Cry 2, the coat has a more pronounced buckled collar and a black chestplate of sorts.
