Beneath the high-octane fight sequences and almost anime-like aesthetic, theDevil May Cry franchise has a very deep story. Each game tells a different tale, but all of them stem from the complex bloodline of the Dark Knight Sparda. Once a high-ranking knight of Mundus, lord of demons, Sparda rebelled against his very nature and sealed off the human world from the demon world. He then fell in love with a human woman named Eva and had two twin sons: Vergil and Dante.
The first few Devil May Cry games centered on the younger twin, Dante. Born of a demon and a human, Dante's mission in life is to exterminate demons while making some money on the side through his demon-hunting business, Devil May Cry. As more games got added to the series and as Dante got older, Capcom decided to add a new protagonist — the devil hunter Nero. Though he sports the same white hair and cocky attitude as Dante, Nero's backstory was shrouded in mystery for a long time. But after a couple of revelations in Devil May Cry 5, it is clear that Nero's parentage deserves more expounding for the sequel.

Nero was first introduced in Devil May Cry 4 as the series' new deuteragonist alongside Dante. Orphaned at an early age in the island town of Fortuna, Nero was adopted by the family of Kyrie and Credo. He grew up alongside his sister and brother and eventually joined the Holy Knights of the Order of the Sword — a religious organization that worships Sparda as a god. After it was discovered that Sanctus — the leader of the Order of the Sword — was using the citizens to gain demonic power, Nero defeated him and joined Dante's demon exterminating quest as a devil hunter.
