Prologue

Sparda, the Dark Knight, was once the Demon Emperor's most loyal demons. Until one day, he suddenly had a change in heart, he wanted to protect mankind. He went against his fellow demons, fighting of the Mundus's armies until they were diminished to nothing. Then, Sparda went up against the Dark Prince himself. Sparda won the battle and with that, he sent Mundus and his armies back to the Demon Realm where they all belonged. To seal the gateway to Hell, the Dark Knight used his own blood and the blood of a mortal priestess along with his powerful sword and an enchanted amulet. This together helped him seal the gateway between the human and demon worlds.

Temen-ni-gru was a large tower, the opening to the demon world was kept underground so that no one could re-open the Hell Gate. In addition, Sparda kept the gatekeepers imprisoned in the tower as well. It is unsaid what the Dark Knight proceeded with after defeating the Demon King, only that he reigned over the humans before vanishing after sometime.

Later on into the twentieth century, Sparda returned mysteriously from the Demon World and met a human female named Eva. Although they were a very strange couple indeed, they fell in love. The Dark Knight impregnated his beloved wife who bore him twin sons, Vergil and Dante. When the two brothers were a little older - maybe seven or eight - their loving mother was murdered by demons from Mundus's army. Though Dante was much closer to their mother than Vergil, it took tole on the oldest son just as deeply as his little brother.

With their demon father gone, the twins were raised separately. The oldest, Vergil, was taken in by a strange man named Kagan, the Vampire King. The boy was slightly afraid of this mysterious man, but he never had much to worry about. Kagan was far too busy to raise a child, therefor, he had his servants to look after his adopted son. The vampire wouldn't have interest in the half demon child until he was older and much stronger. Until then, he didn't want to be bothered by him, so he gave him anything he wanted to keep him off his nerves.

It wasn't long before Kagan started Vergil's very intense training. As a mere teenager, the demon boy was taught to kill. The Vampire King had his own servants to fight the boy until he slaughtered them. Kagan could see Sparda when he looked at the boy who was quickly turning into a man. His killer instincts gave him power that strengthened his demon side greatly. Of course, Vergil knew he was different. It wasn't as clear to him until he actually triggered into his demon form the first time.

The feeling was amazing, yet extremely terrifying. When he went to Kagan for help, the vampire simply told the son of Sparda that he should be grateful of the power he'd gained. This was what had turned Vergil into a power hungry monster.

When the half demon turned eighteen and was officially a man, Kagan was more than ready to put him to use. The king had kept a hidden laboratory in the basement of his mansion where he'd been keeping a secret. His plan was to create an army of fully-bred vampires, only stronger than your average vampire. He wanted to create a hybrid species between vampires and demons, but he would need a powerful demon to do it. That is where Vergil came in and this is how it began.
