Summary
The Book of Demons is a powerful Demonic Artifact that was recovered from Sparda's demonic tower, known as the Temen-ni-gru. It's purpose is to steal and absorb Souls into it to empower the one it finds a worthy user, created by Matriach Matilda. It is a source of immense power, and has been sought after by numerous demonic and human entities for it's otherworldly powers and properties, once even being used to perform miracles. It has currently chosen Dante to be it's wielder through a mysterious but unknown consciousness that resides within it's pages.
