Our third and final playable character from Devil May Cry 5 has arrived. In stark contrast with the macho, self-assured Dante and the macho, less self-assured Nero, V is a slender, sickly guy with no visible muscles. He wears an open, sleeveless leather coat with no shirt, and sandals. Sandals! This dude really offers something new. His body is covered in tattoos you can see through his coat. He wields a cane hes that sickly but his cane gets incorporated into his combat style.

V rocks additional accessories, including:
- a silver chain made out of skulls
- a fingerless glove on his right hand
- a tooth pendant around his neck
- a silver ring on his left middle finger
- a spiked bracelet around his left wrist
- a book of poetry by William Blake

This is a man who dresses for success. Not exactly what Id wear if I was going to fight demons, but V summons familiars for that anyway.

Hes such a contrast with Nero and Dante. In a way Im glad all three were nominated, because they only make V stand out more. Hes a very mysterious character, oddly compelling they did a great job making a character with an air of mystery and a different feel than the others. To have a playable character be so frail and weak that he needs to use a cane, in a series like Devil May Freaking Crythats a gutsy move, and Vs design really helps sell the character.
