2,000 years ago, there was a war between the world of light, home to humans, and the world of darkness, home to demons and devils. The emperor of the Underworld, a fierce devil prince known as Mundus had slain the previous emperor to claim the throne, and once he had done that, he wanted to become ruler over the human world as well, uniting the darkness with the light.
But one of Mundus' foremost soldiers saw the goodness and compassion in the humans and decided that the dark emperor must not be allowed to carry out his plan. He rebelled against Mundus, waging a one man war against the armies of the Underworld before locking away Mundus himself in a sealed vault. This demon was Sparda, and his name became a legend.
Assured that the human world was safe, Sparda remained there, and he eventually took a human wife. He sired two sons and lived out the rest of his life. Now 2,000 years after the battle between Mundus and Sparda we find Dante, a gun for hire that specializes in troubles of a supernatural kind. When Dante received a warning that Mundus is again rising up to take the human world, Dante knows that he must follow in Sparda's footsteps and defeat Mundus to ensure that the dark emperor will be foiled in his plans once again.
