He purposely chose to live out his life his own way because his eyes were opened to evil as a child, especially when the people who were supposed to take care of him turned out to be demons. However, Dante has a huge heart beneath all of this rough exterior. He has no qualms with engaging in debauchery and other hedonistic acts, mostly because he believes he won't be around for too much longer, due to all the demons constantly breathing down his neck. Dante is not subtle in his war against demons, even going so far as punching out a bouncer in front of a group of people in order to enter a nightclub run by demons. He has no fear, and no respect for authority, especially not the demonic authority that runs the world in which he lives. Young and angry, but with a quick wit and black humor, he is disaffected and disassociated with society, and quite apathetic. Living on the periphery of society and caught between two worlds, he feels like an outcast. Otherwise, he carries himself in the same slick, confident manner as his original counterpart, albeit with a more vulgar and spiteful tone.ĭante is very rebellious towards authority figures, but laid-back to anyone else.

Dante also seems to be ambidextrous, favoring either hand for melee attacks with his weapons.ĭante's personality is similar to that of the original Dante, but because of the change in setting and his past, there are a few pronounced differences in some of the ways Dante interacts with others, especially demons.

His sword is slung over his back favoring his left hand, and his pistols are placed in holsters at the back of his waist, under his coat. His attire consists of a black (red under the effects of Devil Trigger), 3/4-length, hooded leather jacket with red interior linings and the British Union flag sewn on the left arm, a gray tanktop, black fingerless gloves, black faded jeans, black military boots, and a necklace reminiscent of half of the Perfect Amulet that features prominently throughout the series. These effects usually fade when Devil Trigger deactivates, but at the end of the game, his hair remained white permanently.ĭante also sports a strange glowing tattoo on his back between his shoulder blades. When Dante uses Devil Trigger, his hair is flushed completely white, his eyes become red with white irises and small vein-like cracks run across his skin. His hair is black, with the sides of his head shaved, forming a mohawk out of the hair at the top of his head, tapering off into a point at the nape of his neck.
