A Form You Are Comfortable With: While it's assumed that using Devil Trigger allows those with demon blood to tap into their full potential, Sparda is the only one with an explicit mention that his human visage is not his true form.Whether or not he gets praise or disdain, however, depends on who Dante is talking to certain demons understandably hold Sparda in contempt, while others hold him in high regard (Fortuna, in particular, essentially worships Sparda as if he were a god, but it's unknown if Sparda is privy to the Order of the Sword's existence or if he would react negatively to them). Famed In-Story: TAS (mostly) notwithstanding, there is a 99.9% chance that Sparda's exploits are directly related to whatever Dante's currently dealing with.The Dreaded: Sparda's name is hated just as much as it is feared throughout demonkind, considering how he almost singlehandedly defeated and sealed all of them two thousand years ago.The Dragon: The prequel novel of 5 confirms he was Mundus's second-in-command, and most trusted general before his Heel≯ace Turn, giving him a backstory similar to his DmC: Devil May Cry counterpart.Combining everything but the Yamato eventually creates the Devil Sword Dante. The Demon Sword Sparda was even further split into three parts: the two amulets given to Dante and Vergil and Force Edge. Dismantled MacGuffin: "The Legend of Sparda" document in 5 states that Sparda split his power into three weapons: clearly describing Sparda, Rebellion and Yamato.
Disappeared Dad: He raised and trained Dante and Vergil with Eva until he died when they where still young.A family painting in 5, however, depicts him as an older-looking man with powdered wig-like hair. Depending on the Artist: Dante's Sparda costumes implied that Sparda's human form strongly resembled his sons.That's his general backstory which is brought up several times in the series, such as the opening cutscenes in 1 and 3, or some dialogue lines in 4. He married a human woman and had two sons-Dante and Vergil. He beat the crap out of everyone, sealed Mundus, and stayed in the human world. Defector from Decadence: Sparda apparently "woke up to justice", saw the good in humanity and decided to rebel against the Demon World's legion.But after seeing the good in humanity and waking up to justice, Sparda rebelled against his own kind. Dark Is Not Evil: He's a demon, has the powers associated with being one, and his outfits are mostly dark-colored.He also had the Rebellion, which would be passed down to Dante as a memento. Cool Sword: Force Edge/Sparda and Yamato, the latter of which he passed down to Vergil.Big Fancy Castle: If the DMC4: Deadly Fortune novel is any indication, Fortuna Castle may have once belonged to Sparda.BFS: He wielded a large sword that was named after him.A fondness for longcoats must run in the family.
Badass Longcoat: Wore a purple Victorian variant in human form.Ascended Demon: He was a demon who fell in love with a human, and so chose to protect humanity and rebel against his kind.His sons Dante and Vergil each inherited half of Sparda's techniques (Dante the more stylish, Vergil the more practical and efficient), while the man himself could do practically anything with a sword. His sword shares his name, and possesses incredible powers. The demon father of Dante and Vergil, he was revered as the "legendary dark knight", as he saved humanity from the demon armies that wanted to conquer the human world. Humanity's hope lived in a demon named Sparda." "In age of darkness, when the Earth was overrun with demons and humans were powerless under their rule.
