Sparda had 2 sons?

[devil_inside123]

Just wondering since beowolf seemed surprised and you onky ever hear people on knowing about the son of Sparda. But how wildly known is it that Sparda had 2 sons? I get Dante makes more of a name for himself but vergil has been around at multiple points doing significant things. Only time they are equally acknowledged as sons of Sparda and the "the" son of Sparda is 3. Is vergil just that much more low-key with his existence? Even after raising the teminigru?

DMC3 was a retcon and wasn't intended by Kamiya when he made DMC1. In that game Dante believed his brother to be dead along with his mother. So people just thought there was one Son of Sparda.
