In the prequel novel Before the Nightmare, Dante tells him "There's no crime in turning tail V, these things might be a little too much for you." V reflects that once upon a time, being told something like that would have angered him to no end, but now, he is no longer motivated by such excessive pride. Break the Haughty: Noted by V himself.Luckily for him, the metal used to make the cane was from the demon world from a previous event where the two worlds collided, making it an ideal conduit for magic. Break Out the Museum Piece: V quite literally took his cane from an antique shop to defend himself when a demon came after him.

Early in the process, you just see what looks like skin flakes constantly falling away, but as the game progresses, cracks start appearing all over his body.

It's ultimately revealed he is the living personification of Vergil's human heritage, so he probably qualifies as human on some level, although his demonic powers certainly stem from Sparda's lingering influence on him.


In his moveset, V also has other attacks to fight with using his cane, such teleporting himself to a chosen target with Gambit and Touch and Move or destroying all dying enemies in close proximity with his ultimate attack Royal Fork, a rain of demonic canes from above that consumes his Devil Trigger gauge. However, all three of his familiars share the same problem: they cannot actually kill any demon they attack, leaving V to finish them off himself (though a Promoted Nightmare can bypass the problem and kill enemy demons directly).

With an upgrade called "Promotion", V can directly take control of it by piercing its body with his sword cane. Nightmare is summoned when V uses his Devil Trigger, being an autonomous but incredibly strong golem-like demon that beats V's enemies down with its bulk and fires a powerful laser from its eye. Shadow is the melee attacker, and deals powerful and wide sweeping strikes, and gives V faster ground movement. Griffon is mapped to the gun button and functions as the primary ranged attacker, dealing damage with lightning-based projectiles and giving V air support by allowing him to glide. He fights by utilizing three demons: Griffon, Shadow and Nightmare. After enticing Dante with a cash-up-front offer and Nero with information on the hooded man who attacked him to ostensibly stop the resurrection of a powerful demon, he soon becomes embroiled in the battle for Red Grave City himself. The mysterious third Playable Character of Devil May Cry 5.
