King Cerberus

King Cerberus's History

Devil May Cry 5: King Cerberus was put by the Demon King Urizen before the lowermost chamber of Qliphoth, where the Fruit of pure evil grows – to guard it and to cool down the extreme heat energy in the blood vessels using his absolute zero freezing powers, thus stimulating the Fruit's growth. Pursuing the Demon King into the depths of the Qliphoth ahead of Nero and V, Dante arrives inside King Cerberus' domain, finding him chained and guarding the final path to the Qliphoth's highest level. King Cerberus forbid Dante from going any further, stating only Kings of the Underworld were allowed below before declaring he would not pass. Seeing him reminded Dante of a similar demon, which insulted the demon, who revealed himself as the king of the Cerberus tribe of demons. Raging that he would feast on Dante's flesh and gnaw on his bones, King Cerberus revealed his greater power by destroying the chains binding him in place to challenge the son of Sparda without restraint. King Cerberus displayed his status as the "strongest in the litter" in his battle with Dante, wielding not only the power of ice like his kin, but controlling fire and thunder as well. Despite King Cerberus' greater power, he was defeated and killed by Dante, who took his soul as a powerful new Devil Arm, which he promptly used to destroy the final barrier between him and Urizen.
