Dante, the series' primary protagonist, is a mercenary specializing in the paranormal and the main playable character in the first three Devil May Cry games.

Dante's arsenal usually consists of firearms and melee weapons, including Ebony and Ivory (エボニー&アイボリ) —twin semi-automatic handguns which never need reloading—and a variety of swords, such as the Rebellion, Force Edge and various "Devil Arms" created from the souls of powerful demons he defeats over the course of each game.
