Its always been a DMC reference

"I am the storm that is approaching..Provoking..Black clouds in isolation. I am reclaimer of my name. Born in flames. I have been blessed. My family crest is a demon of death. Forsakened, I am awakened. A phoenix’s ash in dark divine. Descending misery. Destiny chasing time."
