General Description: - Appearance:
Anthony's most obvious trait is his affinity for red-colored apparel, in the form of a long, two-tailed coat. The coat has zippers on the sleeves and a buckle around the waist, but after Anthony's first battle with Vergil, the right sleeve is damaged and Anthony tears it off. Following with would be his white hair, which he keeps brushed down, and his blue eyes. Beneath this, he wears dark pants that ar usually tucked into black combat boots, as well as a shirt made of dragon skin and kevlar.
- Personality:
Anthony is incredibly flippant, casually mouthing off to even the most powerful of demons, and he generally enjoys rubbing people the wrong way. He can be when needed, but never really loses his attitude. Anthony is sometimes presented as a show off as, on several occasions, he performs exaggerated and over-the-top moves. Anthony is seemingly unflappable, not showing fear whether he's being attacked by the Seven Hells in his office or being swallowed by a giant serpentess demon. He can be serious when the situation calls for it, but he still maintains a laid-back demeanor during such situations and is never without a witty taunt or comeback. Anthony can seem at times to be uncaring or even callous, but actually has a very strong sense of justice and prefers to fight fairly. He can be counted on to do the right thing, even if he makes cynical quips about it the entire time. Unusually, while he has issues with his own demonic side, Anthony has little qualms about accepting demons that choose the side of good, such as Trish and Bradley. Though Anthony is quoted as believing that "Humans are often worse than demons" in the anime, he refuses to kill full-blooded humans for any reason. Anthony values family and friends very highly. He cared deeply for his mother and, despite their differences, for his brother, Vergil. Even after all the fighting the two did over the course of thier lives, Anthony still tries to save Vergil from falling into the Demon World, and goes so far as to cry over losing him.
Anthony also enjoys fighting, shown when he sometimes does not fight at his full potential so he can toy with his opponent or make a fight last longer. In the anime, Anthony gets bored with fighting weak opponents and finds entertainment in fighting strong opponents who will give him a challenge. Anthony's enjoyment of fighting was reflected in his dialogue with Echidna during which he asked her if she agreed with him that a fight every now and then makes life more interesting.
Despite verbally complaining about being in debt, Anthony seems quite willing to perform missions solely for the good of them, and rarely enforces payment from poor clients. In fact, Anthony will typically refuse any job he dislikes, regardless of how much it pays, but will immediately take on any paranormal cases, especially those involving demon hunting, with or without pay. Many of his clients take advantage of this good nature of his, and leave bills for property damage caused during the mission instead of paying for his services. He often borrows from Lady or gambles to repay these debts. However, he has extremely bad luck with all forms of gambling (Anthony even has bad luck with a simple coin toss), and loses any game not involved with demon hunting. As a result, he is horribly in debt to Lady, and is often left with no money at all after she takes her cut.
- Weapons and Abilities:
Anthony is an extremely adept combatant. He is incredibly proficient with any type of weapon, displaying near-mastery of them within moments of picking them up. He is also quite skilled in unarmed combat, managing to disarm and subdue Nero barehanded in their second fight; his hand-to-hand combat skills are also displayed by his usage of gauntlet-style Devil Arms.
Anthony's skill with firearms is impeccable. He has displayed enough accuracy to hit targets as small as the pommel of his sword; shoot his opponents' bullets out of mid-air; and hit the same target over and over with such unerring precision that his bullets stack on top of each other. Anthony is also shown to have incredible hand-eye coordination; for example, he kicks the seeds of Echidna the She-Viper back at her to get her attention, using the eviroment to riccohet the seeds at her.
Despite these skills, Anthony is almost never seen without his trademark sword, Rebellion, and his hand guns, Ebony and Ivory.
Anthony possesses extraordinary powers beyond that of any human being and most demons thanks to the blood of his father, The Dark Knight Sparda, running through his veins. Throughout the course of his life, Anthony has achieved victory over almost all of the powerful demons he's encountered. It's implied that Anthony's power surpasses that of even his father, a notable example being when Anthony defeated Griffon for the final time the latter commented, "[Anthony's] are definitely the powers of Sparda. No, even more so."
He has the strength to punch through and/or shatter stone with little difficulty, and often overpowers demons much larger than himself. In the few times he has gotten into incidents with human authorities, Anthony has been known to snap handcuffs and effortlessly overpowering human authorities as well as street thugs with his bare hands. Anthony's display of superhuman strength indicates that his physical condition is much tougher than that of humans, allowing him to exert his enhanced muscle power to vast proportions without fear of injury or fatigue.
Anthony is blindingly fast, able to dash a short distance to dodge attacks, dodge bullets fired at close-range, and move so fast that he appears to teleport. He is extremely agile as well; able to jump to great heights or even balance himself on a flying rocket, as well as run up vertical walls. In addition, his agility allows him to perform amazing feats of acrobatics that easily surpass even the finest human acrobat.
He is able to channel his power into various physical objects, ranging from his guns to the air itself. Anthony can also hold his breath indefinitely, or perhaps even breathe underwater, as he can remain submerged for extended periods of time without taking damage or needing to surface for air. Additionally, Anthony possesses great resistance to heat, as shown when he casually sat on the flaming tail of Berial and came out with little more than a burnt coat. He has also demonstrated telekinetic abilities several times, catching Trish's motorcycle in mid-flight before shooting it with Ebony and Ivory, as well as when he splayed his hand and Rebellion smashed through the ceiling window before landing in his hand.
Anthony can instantly heal from nearly any wound; even the Hell Prides were surprised when he ignored their attacks when Arkham summoned them into Anthony's office. Anthony's durability has been shown to allow him to simply shrug off wounds that would either disable or outright kill a normal Human, such as being impaled through the chest with his own sword (something that happens to him quite frequently), struck by opponents with superhuman strength (such as when he showed no discomfort when Nero repeatedly punched him in the face with Devil Bringer), or being shot point-blank in the head and stomach.
Anthony rarely shows himself to struggle in battle and wins most of his fights with such ease it's af if he was merely toying with his opponent, however his brother Vergil did defeat him once, then again as Nelo Angelo. Nero apparently defeated him at thier first encounter, but Anthony admitted the battle only ended the way it did because he underestimated Nero. In their second fight Anthony soundly defeated Nero and made the latter realize he was being toyed with from the beginning.
It is implied that Anthony's strength is not just due to his father, but also from his will to protect others. It is suggested that any Demon who possesses the will to protect and love others rather than to simply destroy will gain the full might of their demonic power, though Anthony may simply be an exception due to possessing both human souls and demonic power.
About You: History: Early life Sometime before their eighth birthday, Eva gave Dante and Vergil each a half of the Perfect Amulet. Eventually, Sparda died, and Eva and the twins were left alone. When Dante was eight years old, he and his family were attacked by demons. Eva was killed, and though both Vergil and Dante survived, the twins were separated, and Dante believed Vergil to have died. At some point after this, Dante met Enzo and began a demon-hunting business under the alias Anthony "Tony" Redgrave. Some time later, Enzo enters Anthony's unnamed shop and announces he has a job for Anthony. Anthony goes to Enzo's room at a brothel to learn more. After defeating some demons with only his handguns, he picks up a leaflet offering a four million dollar reward for the return of a missing girl named Alice. Although initially reluctant to accept the job, Anthony does eventually agree to do it for the money, and heads out to find the girl. Anthony goes to a castle infested with demons. After going through a few fights, he finds out that Alice had run away with a demon, the White Rabbit, who has possessed her rabbit doll. After a heated discussion between Anthony, "Rabi", and the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit tells Anthony that Alice has purity, a trait only valued by demons, and she is willing to sacrifice it for all the fleeting things humans value. After he strips Alice of her purity, the White Rabbit transforms her into what humans consider beautiful. Alice starts to flirt with Anthony, but he refuses her advances, angering Alice and provoking her to change into a demon and attack. In response, Anthony transforms into his Majin Form, which he uses to overpower and defeat her without harming her. The White Rabbit tells Anthony that he was the one who gave Anthony the job, a fact that annoys Anthony. When Anthony asks why he did all this, Rabi states that he simply wanted to see "the legendary son of Sparda" in action. Having witnessed what Anthony is capable of, the White Rabbit informs Anthony that he has already paid the reward. Just before Anthony leaves, the White Rabbit offers to buy his half of the perfect amulet, which Anthony declines. Later, Anthony goes back to his shop and finds Alice there waiting for him. She manages to steal his amulet when he puts it down to take a shower, having thought he scared her off. When she escapes, Anthony follows her, and finds a map with directions on it. Anthony follows the directions to a church, where the Mad Hatter tries to trick Anthony into giving a name to an ancient demon whose name was stripped from it by Sparda. Anthony refuses, but then Vergil appears and names the demon, anyway. Anthony is initially relieved to find his older twin still alive, but it soon becomes apparent that they have different goals in mind, and that each stands in the other's way. Anthony's half of the Perfect Amulet is dropped between them, and they begin to fight over it. Vergil, armed with Yamato, wins initially and takes possession of the amulet, but gives it back at Anthony's demand. The twins part ways again. About a year later, a man named Arkham comes to the shop and gives Anthony an "invitation" to the Temen-ni-gru on behalf of his brother Vergil; as soon as he leaves, Anthony is attacked by a swarm of hell jailers. Anthony effortlessly kills them all, and heads to the tower in search of an "interesting time". Meanwhile, Vergil speaks to Arkham about his plan to reopen the portal to the demon world and obtain his father's power, in the form of the Force Edge sword that lies there. Within the tower, Anthony encounters and defeats the demonic gatekeepers who were sealed away by his father, as well as the demon hunter Lady, who is in pursuit of her father Arkham, and the demon Jester, who guides him through the tower for his own reasons. Upon defeating most of these demons, Anthony acquires their souls in the form of new weapons and combat styles. Anthony, Lady, and Vergil eventually discover that Arkham is Jester, and was using all of them in order to open the portal and acquire the Force Edge for himself, using it as a means to gain Sparda's power and become a god. After defeating Arkham in the Demon World, Vergil and Anthony duel for the ownership of the Force Edge. In the end of the battle, Anthony claims ownership of the Force Edge, while Vergil chooses to remain in the Netherworld. Anthony matures considerably as a result of his ordeal, and inspired by Lady's courage and commitment to her own family, he continues his demon hunting business with a greater sense of purpose. They become partners and he decides to call his shop "Devil May Cry", in reference to what Lady said to comfort him over the loss of his brother Vergil: "Maybe somewhere out there even a devil may cry when he loses a loved one. Don’t you think?" With that, Lady leaves. Several years later, Anthony is attacked in his office by a mysterious woman named Trish. He impresses her by easily brushing off her assault, and tells her that he hunts demons in pursuit of those who killed his mother and brother. She says the attack was a test and that the demon emperor Mundus is planning a return at Mallet Island. She takes him to the castle there, but abruptly disappears. Anthony explores the castle, slaying minor demons and finding weapons, and encounters the spider-like demon Phantom, while looking for a way to proceed through the castle. Anthony wins the battle, but Phantom soon reappears and chases him through the halls of the castle. After further exploration and combat, Anthony battles a demon named Nelo Angelo who impresses Anthony with his confidence. The demon pins Anthony to a nearby wall, but suddenly flees upon seeing the half-amulet Anthony wears. The demon attacks twice more in later missions, and is eventually revealed to be Vergil, killed and manipulated by Mundus. After Nelo Angelo's final defeat, his half of the amulet joins with Anthony's half-amulet, transforming the Force Edge into its true form, the Sparda. When Anthony next meets Trish, she betrays him and reveals that she is also working for Mundus. She lures Anthony into a final fight with the bio-weapon Nightmare, but Anthony manages to kill the monster. In the resulting chaos, the room collapses, and Trish is almost crushed. Anthony saves her, claiming it was solely because of her resemblance to his mother. Furious because of her betrayal, Anthony warns her to stay away from him. Yet when he finally confronts Mundus, who is about to kill Trish, Anthony chooses again to save her but is injured. Mundus tries to finish him off, but Trish takes the attack instead. Anthony's emotion at this tragedy unleashes his full power, allowing him to take on the form of his father. Afterwards, Anthony and Mundus battle on another plane of existence with Anthony victorious. Anthony leaves the Perfect Amulet and Sparda sword with Trish's immobile body before departing. However, just as Anthony reaches the castle's hangar, Mundus, who is now back to his regular strength, returns and corners Anthony. However, Trish also returns and lends Anthony her power. Anthony is able to defeat Mundus by sealing him away again. When Trish tries to apologize, she begins to cry. Anthony tells her that it means she has become human and not just a devil, because "devils never cry". Anthony and Trish narrowly escape on a plane as the island collapses. Soon after, Anthony and Trish form a partnership, with Anthony renaming his shop "Devil Never Cry". Everything was fine for a while, until Lady came to Anthony's office, offering a job. She told him about the Order of the Sword—a small congregation in the castle town of Fortuna, which worships Sparda—much to Anthony's surprise. She explained that there is a legend of Sparda in that he served as a feudal lord at the city a long time ago. She also said that although peaceful worship can't be condemned, the Order's members recently started catching demons and collecting Devil Arms, interfering with her work. Trish, who was present and heard all this, departed with the Sparda sword, leaving a "see you there" message written in lipstick on the wall. There was nothing for Anthony to do but to go to Fortuna after her. Later it is revealed that the Order's increased activity was because of The Savior — a giant artificial demon created by the Order, which is only controllable with Sparda's blood and sword. They started creating smaller copies of the true Hell Gate, which they powered with the gathered Devil Arms. These were needed to harvest demons in order to power The Savior, as well as to lure Anthony to Fortuna. It seems that Anthony became aware of their plan, most likely through Trish, who disguised herself as Gloria and handed over the Sparda sword to infiltrate the Order. After watching Nero, a member of the order, defeat a group of Scarecrows from the rooftops, Anthony makes his entrance in Fortuna through the roof of the Opera House during the Festival of the Blade, executing the town's vicar, Sanctus, and slaying several Holy Knights who try to subdue him. Nero, one of the Holy Knights, enraged that his love-interest Kyrie has been endangered, interrupts Anthony and keeps him busy until Kyrie and her brother Credo can escape. After a brief fight with Nero, Anthony reveals to him that the slain knights were actually demons, and leaves with a cryptic message to Nero, claiming that "We’re the same...you and...I...and them [the fallen knights]. Though I suspect you carry something different from the others". He then leaves Nero and heads for Fortuna Castle. On Credo's orders, Nero follows Anthony, catching up to him at the entrance to Mitis Forest. However, Anthony escapes by falling from the cliff into the forest. Nero finally confronts Anthony within the Order's headquarters, but Nero no longer seeks to capture Anthony because he has been betrayed by the Order. However, Anthony challenges him for his brother's sword, Yamato, which Nero now possesses. After an intense battle, Nero at last gets the upper hand, but then Anthony easily knocks Nero down, making Nero realize that Anthony has been playing with him from the beginning. Anthony explains that Yamato is the key to the Demon World, but allows Nero to continue using the sword because Nero needs it to rescue Kyrie. However, Nero is absorbed by the Order's partly awakened The Savior, which is controlled by the revived Sanctus. Credo is mortally wounded trying to stop Sanctus, and the Yamato is taken by the Order's scientist, Agnus, to open the true Hell Gate in Fortuna. At the dying Credo's request, Anthony follows The Savior back to town to rescue Nero and Kyrie after sending Trish to help the citizens escape to safety. Along the way, he kills Echidna, Dagon, and Berial, destroys the three fake Hell Gates they had emerged from, and obtains the Devil Arms that had powered the gates. Once he returns to the Opera House where this all began, he finds Agnus. The two fight, ending with Anthony killing Agnus. Anthony recovers the Yamato, closes the Hell Gate, and destroys it. This catches the attention of Sanctus, who attempts to kill Anthony using The Savior. However, Anthony is able to weaken The Savior enough that he can reawaken Nero by returning the Yamato to him. Anthony continues to distract The Savior while Nero tracks down Sanctus and slays him. Nero succeeds and breaks free of The Savior with Kyrie and the Sparda in his hands. However, before Anthony could drag away an apology from Nero, The Savior reawakens as The False Savior, a weakened version of the creature created by the weapon's merge with Sanctus. Nero hands Anthony the Sparda, and attacks the atrocity with his Devil Bringer, destroying it. When the battle is finally over, Nero thanks Anthony for his help. Afterwards, he attempts to return the Yamato to Anthony, but tells him to keep it. Nero asks if he will meet Anthony again, but Anthony leaves only with a simple wave. After Anthony returns to his shop, Lady enters and thanks Anthony and Trish for helping her by eliminating the Order. She hands them the case with their payment, but it is revealed to contain only a few banknotes. Against Trish's protests, Lady claims that it was her fault that the situation got out of hand. Anthony calms them down by commenting: "We take what we can get, right?". Suddenly, the phone rings, and Trish informs Anthony that it is a customer with the password and is in the vicinity. Trish and Lady decide to come with Anthony on this mission, which ends in a sucess, and the trio part ways. Anthony, deciding to expand his business, leaves Trish in charge of the current office, and sets off to a place called Edge City to set up shop. | |
