In a land overflowing with demons, there is only one man who can staunch the flow of evil, his name is.... well actually who knows? Because up until this point in the best-selling Devil may Cry series, the hero has always been everyone's favourite dryly-sarcastic, part-demon albino; Dante. DMC4 confuses all this by first introducing us to Nero, a younger surlier platinum blonde lad with a strange unearthly glowing arm and a curious penchant for slaying the nasty-bads, and then pitting him against the series' regular hero.
