Eva was killed and the two brothers were separated. While Dante and Vergil were children, his family came under attack by Mundus' demons. Both brothers would also obtain two amulets which together could unlock the seal within the Force Edge, and thus, the seal between both worlds.
Dante would obtain his sword, Rebellion, as a keepsake from his father, while Vergil would obtain the sword, Yamato. Though many of his actions are shrouded in uncertainty, Sparda, later in the human world, would fall in love with a human named Eva who would later give birth to Dante and his twin brother, Vergil. Over two thousand years before the events of the first game, the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda betrayed the Demon King Mundus and his demonic army, sealing away the demon world from the human world along with most of his power into his sword sharing his name, which would later revert into the Force Edge. In the Devil May Cry games, Dante is a devil hunter and proprietor of the agency, Devil May Cry.
