Devil May Cry follows the adventures of the demon hunter Dante who himself is half demon and half human. Dante is hired through his own business named “Devil May Cry”. The series centers on main character Dante’s goal of avenging his mother’s murder by exterminating demons.

In the process, he encounters his long lost brother with whom he develops a dysfunctional relationship. As the series progresses it is revealed that the demon emperor Mundus is responsible for the loss of Dante’s mother and the corruption of his brother.

No official chronology places the events of the show within the current game canon, however characters Lady and Trish, who debuted in the third and first games respectively, appear as semi-regulars.

In the show, Dante runs his devil-hunting business, Devil May Cry, while struggling under constant financial debt. There are also two new regular characters — Dante’s agent Morrison who visits frequently, and Patty Royale, a young orphan girl he saved in the first episode, who visits frequently.
