So looking back on past DMC villians (not including the mangas/anime) what kind of villain do you expect in a new DMC/DmC game or would want?
Counting past villains.
DMC1: Mundus
Status: Demon Emperor (DMC's own version of the Devil or better yet Hades)
Backstory: A powerful demon emperor who was sealed away by Sparda 2000 years ago and now seeks his revenge by wiping out his family and set his sights on Dante, the lone survivor of Sparda's gene pool before ascending from the Underworld to rule mankind.
Personality: He is very confident, ruthless, and lacks compassion as he will slay his own loyal servants. He uses cheap tricks to f*ck with our hero Dante by using his brother as puppet to battle his own brother, uses Trish to disguise her as his mother to deceive Dante, and is quite powerful and almighty and is very persistent vowing to one day return.
DMC2: Arius
Status: Evil Business Tycoon by Day Malevolent Sorcerer by Night
Backstory: A top ranking sorcerer and alchemist who managed to achieved fame, wealth, and fame through his big corporation known as Ouroborous Co. and uses it as a cover for his sorcery and demonic research and experiments. Its still 100% unclear what his company specialize in but it uses the aid of demons and demonic magic to get the work done. He is very powerful to seize an entire city under his name and turn it into a demon's paradise and can create a demon clone army as one of his many experiments. He seeks immortality and a desire to transcend all living things and bring the world back to the way it was (the Dark Ages that Sanctus mentioned in DMC4).
Personality: He can pretty smug and full of himself thinking he can take on the Son of Sparda and is very persistent. Has an awesome evil mustache and cheesy evil laugh. He can summon any demon and its assumed through his research of Argosax can create powerful demons such as Lucia and controls any and all demons within his city and area. However, allowed himself to be taken over and possessed by Argosax.
DMC3: Arkham/Jester
Status: Demonic Sorcerer (Formerly Human)/Clown
Backstory: An once proud father who became driven by power to become a God due to the tales of Sparda so for the sake of power and fame butchered and sacrificed a lot of humans including his wife to become a demon but kept his daughter Mary alive for her blood of the priest that Sparda used to sea Temen-ni-Gru was needed. So then he worked with Vergil to activate Temen-ni-Gru to obtain Sparda's power but secretly is using Vergil to obtain his true objective and does so by disguising himself as a clown demon called Jester to help guide Dante through Temen-ni-Gru and uses both Dante, Vergil, and Mary to achieve his goal.
Personality: Extremely ruthless, has no regards for human life and cares for no one other than himself, deceptive, wants power, greedy, and extremely dark and seems to hate Sparda yet at the same time respect him. When in danger will beg for mercy and overall can't be trusted. As Jester is very cartoonish, clowny, and annoying being the only person to be able to get on Dante's nerves other than Agni and Rudra. Big time troll.
DMC4: Sanctus
Status: Head Vicar of Fortuna City and Demonic Pope
Backstory: Former head general of the White Knights of the Order of the Sword and master of combat now retired as the head vicar of Fortuna City and leader of the Order of the Sword and ring leader of the religious cult of Fortuna City that worships Sparda, a demon. He feels that the world is corrupted and long forgotten Sparda's once noble sacrifice so takes initiative to use the Savior, a statue designed in liking of their savior Sparda but is operated by a bunch of demons inside of it, and the Hell Gates to unleash hell on mankind and save them at the same time to rid the world of demons and clear the world of chaos but unite the entire world under one religion THEIR RELIGION and create peace and will do anything to get it done even if it means some casualties and sacrificing others. He threw away his humanity to become a demon in the hopes of being an angel and obtaining ultimate power.
Personality: A rather well liked leader of Fortuna City but is very devious and cruel as well. Lacking basic emotions such as compassion, love, and respect he will use his men as pawns, punish and kill those who oppose him, use his own followers as sacrifices, and doesn't care if innocents die in the process. Will resort to dirty tricks to get his way, has the best sh*t eating grin of all the DMC villains, and sees power as the only purpose of living. Believes he is a chosen one by Sparda destined to spread his fame and glory. He too is very persistent and refuses to go down without a fight.
DmC: Kyle Rider aka Mundus
Status: Demonic Banker aka King of the Underworld
Backstory: A powerful demon who rose to power 9000 years ago along with with his blood brother Sparda and after ruling the demon world set his sight upon mankind. He saw that mankind were a bunch of savages so he took it upon himself to rule them and correct them and has ruled them for thousand of years now by using lies, various food and beverages, and deceptive media as well through debt. He now wishes to pass on his legacy to a heir with whom is impregnated with his mistress Lilith. He disguised himself as a banker who managed to get a lot of countries into debt. Sparda once betrayed him for an angel named Eva so Mundus seeked revenge by enslaving Sparda, killing Eva, and finding and ending their child as well as exterminating and capturing any other Nephilim. So now stands the son of Sparda and Eva, the last Nephilim, Dante and the human resistance group the Order in his way of global domination.
Personality: He is very full of himself and rather confident as shown at the beginning but can get easily enraged especially if his heir is in trouble. Also, he is very attached to his unborn being very grievous that his son died. He is also immortal unless you close his Hell Gate so because of it he is almost always next to it. Due to his strong temper and big ego his anger can get the better of him and even cause his own downfall if he is not careful. He is also proned to make some odd sometimes risky decisions usually due sheer egotism or pure blind rage.
