Story:

Nero is the son of Vergil (half-breed father) & a human woman in the city of Fortuna in Devil May Cry. He was left alone as an orphan until adopted by Credo & Kyrie as part of the family. Growing up, he becomes a knight of the Order of the Sword. During a battle, his arm suffered an injury, which later changed into a demon's arm called the Devil Bringer, and keeps it hidden in order to "control" it. Eventually, he meets Dante (who he later learns is his uncle) during a church service, assassinating its pope Sanctus. At first, he viewed Dante as an enemy, but during his pursuit he discovers the Order had been keeping secrets from the public, when tampering with demonic power in order to conquer the world.

Discovered for hiding his arm, thinking he was a demon, but somehow connects to Sparda, they decide to use him for their master plan instead of Dante. Dante later rescues him, so that he'll save Kyrie from Sanctus, regaining her faith and love for him.

After the Order disbanded, Nero became a Devil Hunter joining the Devil May Cry agency in a mobile branch with his partner Nico. But his arm gets ripped off by a hooded man (later revealed as Vergil), taking Yamato which was absorbed into the Devil Bringer. Taking a prosthetic weapon called the Devil Bringer, he hunts down the "demon". But during the Qliphoth incident, when V reunites with Urizen after revealing himself as Vergil himself, he learns that the man who took his arm was actually his father. Which left him disturbed by this revelation.

Eventually, instead of revenge, he decides to put an end to the brothers' squabble for good. The brothers leave for the Demon World, leaving the Human World in Nero's hands.
