Biography
Mundus (Japanese: ムンドゥス, Hepburn: Mundusu)
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. 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.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Mundus was shown to sometimes take the form of a gigantic living statue of an aging, muscular, bearded man with enormous feathered wings.
Mundus has no regard for his servants, considering them only expendable and replaceable pawns. For instance, in his efforts to kill Dante and Vergil, he first sent lower demons and then created and dispatched black knights against the brothers, improving the demons' capabilities after each failure. Having no tolerance for failure, he punishes or disposes of those servants who don't meet his expectations. He always considered Trish as a failure for not able to kill Dante.
Powers and abilities
Hailed as the Prince of Darkness and Devil Emperor, Mundus has the power to back up these titles. He was known for having posed a difficult challenge to the god-like legendary Dark Knight Sparda and was powerful enough to surpass the earlier level of might wielded by the Sons of Sparda, as shown by his easy victory over Vergil and even Dante. He could challenge Dante while the demon hunter was using the power of the Sparda.
As the ruler of the Demon World, Mundus has absolute control over almost all lesser demons within his domain. His power was great enough to rival Argosax, another demon king, to the point where a war between them split the Underworld into 2 factions.
