While Trish does ultimately lure Dante into a trap to battle Nightmare, this fails and Mundus appears, threatening Trish with the consequences of her failure. Mundus is not seen again until Nelo Angelo's ultimate defeat, commenting to Trish that Vergil had fallen and saying she knew what she had to do. He first appears after the third battle with Griffon, ruthlessly executing his fallen general after he pleads to Mundus to be healed and strengthened to defeat Dante. For much of the game, Mundus remains dormant within the statue of his younger form in the main hall of the castle, with Dante writing the statue off as nothing more than a depiction of the inhabitants god. At the same time, he uses Trish to manipulate Sparda's other son, Dante, into coming to the island so that he can be killed. In Devil May Cry, Mundus attempts to escape into the Human World by opening a gate on Mallet Island. Though this battle is never seen, Vergil, in his weakened state, is defeated and transformed into Nelo Angelo, leading into the events of Devil May Cry. His demons attacked and killed Eva, Sparda's wife and the mother of his twin sons.Īt the end of Devil May Cry 3 in the secret ending, as Sparda's son Vergil found himself trapped in the Demon World, he comes upon Mundus, who glares down on him silently with his triple eyed avatar. In response, Mundus planned revenge against Sparda's family. An indeterminate amount of time after this war, Mundus planned to lead an assault on the Human World and conquer the realm for himself, ruling both worlds as one, but Sparda, a powerful demon knight, woke up to justice, leading him to single-handedly defeat both Mundus and his armies, seal away the Demon World, and then seal one of the gates connecting them deep underground. This great war eventually led to the separation of the Demon World into two sides one ruled by him, and the other ruled by Argosax. After this period, a devil god named Argosax appeared and challenged Mundus' rule, waging a war against the Prince of Darkness. After building a great army and immense power due to consuming the powerful Qliphoth fruit, he slew the previous Demon King and took the title for himself. Two millennia ago, the Devil Prince Mundus was born into the depths of the Demon World as it snowed in the Human World, and quickly rose to power. Story Before Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening
And even after losing again, he still forced a smaller Hellgate open in a bid for vengeance on Dante. Mundus is also very driven by his goals, setting servant after servant to destroy Dante before finally taking the fight to the devil hunter himself. Though he hates Sparda, he did note he could see the same 'light' from Sparda's eyes in Dante's, which could indicate a measure of respect he once held for his greatest general, though this could also simply be a fallback reference as to how both Phantom and Griffon saw Sparda within Dante. He appears to regard humans as entirely interchangeable, being confused at the idea that Dante would not accept Mundus making him a new mother to replace Eva, or "as many as he would like."
Like most other demons in the series, Mundus has a low opinion of humans, even going so far as to wonder if Dante's human heritage had weakened his father's blood. He has no compassion for his minions and act without regard to their loyalty, killing one of his own generals, Griffon, after the latter failed to defeat Dante and pleaded for his master's aid, or even using Trish as a bargaining chip over Dante to ensure an easy victory. Mundus is depicted as the epitome of evil within the Devil May Cry universe. He is seen this way while communicating with Griffon, Trish, and before battling Vergil. Mundus' true form is a grotesque, writhing mass of living tissue, with three eyeballs and hundreds of hands coming out of it, revealed during the final battle when Dante destroys portions of the statue.Īdditionally, Mundus often appears as three glowing orbs arcing with energy. The statue has a circular depression in his chest, where an eye-like core is located in his god form.
Mundus' appearance when he battles Dante is that of a gigantic living statue of an ageing, muscular, bearded man with enormous feathered wings, resembling figures such as Zeus or the common Christian depictions of God.
