Mundus, known as the Prince of Darkness, is the overarching antagonist of the Devil May Cry franchise. He is a devil prince who ruled the Demon World two thousand years ago, overthrowing the previous ruler of the Demon World and threatening the human world. Some time after conquering the devil throne, Mundus' rule was challenged by the demon god Argosax, and a great war followed that divided the Underworld in two sides. Upon trying to take over the Human World, the demon swordsman Sparda, his right-hand man at the time, rebelled and defeated him and his armies, sealing him away in a vault on Mallet Island.[10] He appears as the main antagonist and final boss of Devil May Cry.
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. The statue has a circular depression in his chest, where an eye-like core is located in his god form. Mundus' true form is a grotesque, writhing mass of living tissue, with three eyeballs (with grey irises) and hundreds of hands coming out of it, revealed during the final battle when Dante destroys portions of the statue.
Mundus is depicted as the epitome of evil within the Devil May Cry universe. He is a sadist who has no compassion or empathy for his minions and act without regard to their loyalty, gleefully 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 as well as to taunt and gloat at him while also mocking his attachment to her.
Mundus has no regard for his servants, considering them only expendable and replaceable pawns, like the time when, in order to kill Dante and Vergil, he firstly sent lower demons, then created and sent black knights against the brothers, improving the demons capabilities after each failure.[11] Having no tolerance for failure, he punishes or dispose of those servants who don't meet his expectasions.
Mundus shows a strong aversion towards human nature and its typical behaviors. After easily impaling Dante with 3 plasma beams, as the latter was worrying about Trish and so was caught off guard, he commented with disappointment about the human nature.[12] He considers the sacrifice of Trish for saving Dante from his deadly beam as an "odd" behavior, then defines her a "useless scum" for that.[12] He also considers the "heart" as a restraint to power and strenght, a tumor that leads to weakness.[13]
Mundus shows manipulative, deceiving and vile traits in his diabolical plans, and he resorts to petty and mean methods in order to carry them out. To ensure he lured Dante into a trap on Mallet Island, he exploited his filial affection for his defunct mother by creating a demon with her same appearance.[14] He also took advantage of this by ordering Trish to backstab Dante during his fight against Nightmare[15], then again in the marble vault when threatening her life just to distract Dante and catching him off guard.[12]
Like most other demons in the series, Mundus has a low opinion and disregard of humans, even going so far as to wonder if Dante's human heritage had weakened his father's blood. 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", also definig her a "useless being"
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. 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. And even after losing again, he still forced a smaller Hellgate open in a bid for vengeance on Dante.
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. 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. After this period, a devil god named Argosax appeared and challenged Mundus' rule, waging a war against the Prince of Darkness. 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.[16] 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. In response, Mundus planned revenge against Sparda's family. His demons attacked and killed Eva, Sparda's wife and the mother of his twin sons.
At 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. Vergil challenges him in battle. 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.
In Devil May Cry, Mundus attempts to escape into the Human World by opening a Hell Gate on Mallet Island. 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. Mundus had previously been worshipped as a god by the inhabitants of of the island, under the name "Pluto", with a prophet foretelling his eventual return to the Human World through the island. Dante can find a large statue depicting Mundus' younger form in the main hall of the castle, which subsequently vanishes at night once the evil powers of the Underworld begin affecting the layout of the castle's interior.
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. 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. 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.
When Dante finally arrives in Mundus' lair, a chapel like area, and sees the Devil Emperor sitting on his throne, musing on the irony of again facing a Sparda, with Dante retorting the irony of Mundus' defeat at his hands. Mundus however has one last card to play: The captured Trish. Playing on Dante's feelings for Trish, Mundus ruthlessly impales Dante with three beams of red energy, taunting Dante's weakness. Mundus prepares to deal the final blow when Trish intervenes, seemingly sacrificing herself for Dante.
Annoyed with his creation's 'behavior' Mundus again attempts to destroy Dante, but the young devil hunter deflects the blast and demands Mundus show himself. Deciding to honor Dante's words, Mundus sheds his marble like form, revealing his aged, angelic body and then transports himself and Dante to his pocket dimension. There, he comments on how he now sees the light of Sparda's eyes within Dante's own. When Dante demands to know why Mundus used his mother's face, Mundus calls her a 'worthless being' and suggests to Dante he could make as many as he wanted. Dante demands silence and this sparks the final battle between the two, with Mundus flying off into the darkness and Dante assuming his father's form via Devil Trigger.
Dante succeeds in injuring Mundus but himself is knocked down into the pit of lava below, Mundus following. Mundus attempts to overwhelm Dante with his raw power but Dante overcomes him after a lengthy battle, and Mundus painfully takes to the skies, screaming as his wings fall away and his pocket dimension fades away, seemingly taking Mundus with it.
However, the prince of darkness returns as Mallet Island begins to collapse, literally tearing open a much smaller Hell Gate in the sewers, directly in front of Dante. The grievously wounded Mundus vowed Dante would not leave, and Dante decided to stand his ground, swearing the island would become Mundus own burial ground. Though his powers had been greatly weakened, and Dante was able to chip away at his body, exposing his hideous true form, Mundus only mocked Dante's efforts, calling his powers weak in the Human World.
But just then, Trish returned and gave Dante her powers, supercharging the devil hunter who blasted Mundus with his overpowered handguns, sending the Prince of Darkness screaming back into the Underworld. As he was forced to return to the demon world, Mundus vowed to Dante he would return and rule the Human World.
In flashbacks depicted as memories Vergil's human half V receives upon forming contracts with the demon familiars Griffon and Shadow show the aftermath of Vergil's failed attempt to fight the Demon Emperor. Mundus strings Vergil's impaled body up, mocking the Son of Sparda and cursing the Legendary Dark Knight for "sullying demon blood in a human womb". As the defeated Vergil claims he can still fight, Mundus picks the beaten half-demon up and begins transforming him into Nelo Angelo, stating he has no need for a heart, nor ego, and shall become his servant, beginning to christen him with a new name before the memory ends.
When V and Griffon confront the powerful Nightmare, Griffon reveals the original Nightmare's origins, having been created by Mundus desiring an all powerful demon as his living weapon. Using his own blood as part of Nightmare's creation, the Prince of Darkness succeeded, overwhelmingly so, as the newly born Nightmare possessed the power and capability of destroying the Demon World itself. Fearing this, Mundus quickly enslaved Nightmare to his will, while also sealing the bulk of its power.
