Description
Brian is a character from the Devil May Cry: The Animated Series, serving as a primary antagonist in a storyline involving the Lowell family inheritance. He is the middle brother among three siblings, with an older brother named Alex and a younger brother named Christopher. The three brothers, sharing the common Lowell surname, attempted to claim a vast family fortune after the death of its patriarch, despite not being the legitimate heirs to the estate.
In terms of personality, Brian presents himself as calm, elegant, and composed. He is often seen enjoying intellectual pastimes such as playing chess and drinking tea. Beneath this refined exterior, however, he is deeply opportunistic and greedy. He is highly intelligent and utilizes his profession as a lawyer to try and manipulate legal technicalities in his favor. When his schemes are threatened, his true nature is revealed as someone who is selfish and willing to physically harm others, including his own brothers, to get what he wants.
Brian's primary motivation is the acquisition of the Lowell family fortune. He orchestrates a plan to claim the inheritance by exploiting legal deadlines and using deception. He arrives at the Lowell mansion with his brothers, believing the wealth will be theirs. When the real Patty Lowell arrives to claim her birthright, Brian uses his legal knowledge to argue that she has forfeited her claim due to a technicality. When this legal maneuver fails because Patty has accurate information, Brian abandons his human guise entirely.
Brian's role in the story is that of a hidden antagonist who escalates the conflict from a legal dispute to a supernatural confrontation. He reveals his true identity as a demon, attacking his brothers and attempting to kill Patty. His transformation marks a turning point in the narrative, shifting the focus from a battle over a will to a physical fight against a demonic entity. He is ultimately confronted and defeated by the series protagonist, Dante.
Key relationships in Brian's life are defined by his greed. He interacts with his brothers, Alex and Christopher, as partners in the scheme, but he holds them in contempt, mocking Alex for his failures. He ultimately betrays them without hesitation when his demonic form is revealed, showing he values the fortune far more than family loyalty. He also serves as an adversary to Patty Lowell, whose claim to the inheritance he tries to invalidate, and to Dante, who puts an end to his plans.
Brian undergoes a significant transformation in the narrative. Initially, he appears as a collected and articulate human lawyer, using intellect and legal jargon. Once his deception is exposed, his true greedy and monstrous personality surfaces, accompanied by a physical metamorphosis into a large, powerful demon. This change does not signify personal growth but rather the removal of a human facade to reveal his inherently monstrous nature.
Regarding notable abilities, in his human form, Brian's primary skill is his knowledge of the law, which he wields as a weapon to try and claim the inheritance. After transforming into his true demonic state, he gains enhanced physical capabilities. This form is corpulent and bovine-like, with a dark green complexion, white hair, and red eyes. He possesses sharp claws, large fangs, and hooves, allowing him to attack with brute force. Despite his increased strength and size, he can be harmed by powerful firearms and demonic weapons.
