Seven Hells the Demon Army

From Devil May Cry Wiki

The Seven Hells are the basic enemies of Devil May Cry 3, and are based around the Seven Deadly Sins. They are Netherworld jailors who govern those sent to hell for their respective sins, though they have been called to the Human World to hunt down all humans, guilty or innocent.[1]

[edit] Types of Jailors

[edit] 1st Hell: Pride

The Hell Pride is the weakest of the seven Hells, and its giant sickle is quite weak.[2] It governs those who committed the sin of pride.

[edit] 2nd Hell: Envy

The Hell Envy is similar to a Hell Pride, manifests through a mysterious green liquid similar to stomach acid which limits their movement while preventing them from being knocked into the air.[3] It governs those who committed the sin of envy. It seems to only wear a few bandages, and can only be found within the body of Leviathan.

[edit] 3rd Hell: Wrath

The Hell Wrath is the most miserable of the seven Hells, as it is forced to carry a massive organic sack that explodes when dropped or damaged enough.[4] It governs those who committed the sin of wrath. Hell Wraths only wear a few bandages. It lets out a fell shriek before dropping its sack.

[edit] 4th Hell: Sloth

The Hell Sloth is the tallest of the Hells, and is able to teleport around rooms to ambush its victims.[5] It governs those who committed the sin of sloth. It moans before teleporting, and does not seem to ever actually walk.

[edit] 5th Hell: Greed

The Hell Greed cannot directly attack its victims, so instead it uses its beloved coffin to summon Hell Pride's, Sloth's, and Lust's to fight for it.[6] However, it can injure its victim if he gets in the way of the coffin while it is summoning others. It governs those who committed the sin of greed. Like Hell Envy's and Wrath's, it seems to only wear a few bandages.

[edit] 6th Hell: Gluttony

The Hell Gluttony is similar to a Hell Pride, but is slightly stronger and able to fire a blast of sand from its mouths that can injure its victims.[7] It governs those who committed the sin of Gluttony. Unlike Hell Prides, it wields a sharp double-bladed staff.

[edit] 7th Hell: Lust

The Hell Lust is similar to a Hell Pride, but is much faster and able to not only bob and weave to dodge attacks, but to perform an extremely fast dash attack.[8] It governs those who committed the sin of lust. It wears a distinctive jester-like outfit, rather than bandages or a cloak.

[edit] Abyss

The Abyss is a high-ranking demon from the deepest levels of the netherworld that behaves similarly to the Hells, but manifests through blood, allowing it to materialize and liquidate at will. It is also able to throw a ball of fire when swinging their magic-imbued scythes.[9] As a creature of blood, it is easily frozen by the Cerberus.

[edit] Hell Vanguard

The Hell Vanguard is known as the god of death, and is responsible for managing the souls of the dead. He is feared by other demons for its wicked nature and fighting prowess, including the abilities to teleport and fly.[10] Unlike other Hells, it does not seem to manifest through sand, though he in fact does.

[edit] Background

The Seven Deadly Sins are a list developed by the early Catholic Church of seven major vices which lead to sin. The list serves as the basis for Purgatory's layout in Dante Aligheri's Purgatorio.
