Dante and Vergi's Devil Trigger forms were designed by Kazuma Kaneko of Atlus. Morihashi felt challenged creating the character of Vergil since he had no prior design experience yet he had to come up with an entire new one for the artists. While feeling his own take on the character did not equal the popularity of the original one, Bingo Morihashi enjoyed Dante's role in the game. The game's main character, Dante, was given a different characterization than in the first Devil May Cry because his original creator, Hideki Kamiya, was not going to be involved with the project. As he had no experience planning, he was given the role of writing the scenario. Morihashi was once again employed, but this time took on a bigger role during the game's development. Shortly after the release of Devil May Cry 2, Hideaki Itsuno decided Capcom's staff should develop a new video game, Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening. Dante and Lucia dressed in Diesel fashions appealed to the developers. The game is very loosely based on the Italian poem the Divine Comedy by its use of allusions, including the game's protagonist Dante (named after Dante Alighieri) and other characters like Vergil ( Virgil) and Trish ( Beatrice Portinari).
Dante wears a red cloak to make the character's actions more eye-catching red is the traditional Japanese color for a hero.

Series creator Hideki Kamiya said that the title character from the manga series Cobra, by Buichi Terasawa, was the basis for Dante. Dante's characterization and role in the games was well received by game journalists with the recurring cast being praised since Devil May Cry 3 because of the handling of the narrative. While each game changes the cast's designs, the RE Engine was used for Devil May Cry 5 to give them a more realistic look. Nero and several characters in Devil May Cry 2 and the later games were conceived by several staff members, most notably Bingo Morihashi with designers Daigo Ikeno and Tatsuya Yoshikawa, taking over. Ninja Theory also created a reboot titled DmC: Devil May Cry that follows an alternate version of Dante as he learns of his heritage while confronting demons controlling Limbo. Devil May Cry 4 and Devil May Cry 5 focus on a young demon hunter named Nero who is related to Dante, as well as V, a young man from 5 who wishes somebody would defeat the demon king Urizen. In Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, a younger Dante awakens his demonic powers when confronting his brother and matures upon seeing Lady, a woman struggling to redeem her family. In Devil May Cry 2, an older Dante aids a woman named Lucia in freeing a town from the demons. Years after the first game, Capcom developed new Devil May Cry games with new characters.
As the story progresses, Dante encounter his father's nemesis, a demon emperor, Mundus, who is found to be responsible for the murder of Dante's mother. In the process he encounters his long-lost twin brother, Vergil, with whom he has a dysfunctional relationship. The first game focuses on devil hunter Dante's mission to avenge the death of his mother, Eva, by exterminating demons. The series' success has led to comic books, novelizations, an anime series, guides, collectibles and a variety of action figures.
