I don't see where it says that he's talking about demon kings in general in the blog.If you look at the blog that is used for scaling Abigail it actually says demon kings in general but alas spanish should be more precise here.
They are still demons, so by DMC definition they enjoy violence and fighting. Even honorable demons like Berial and Balrog have shown this, the latter even wanting to fight Argosax without seeking to be the demon king.Except, you know, some demons don't care about the crown or the throne so we can't realistically place them in the same category.
As a demon king you have to be more powerful than all the other demons because otherwise you could lose against some of them and even if they don't seek the throne you would still have lost your reputation (assuming you didn't die first).
DMC4 Dante also literally killed every boss he faced, and even then he gave Berial a chance to escape in the first place probably because he was an honorable demon. He just probably do the same to Bolverk (also a demon warrior like Berial and Balrog), which explains why the latter survived the first time.I guess you haven't played DMC2. Short explanation, Dante is the most serious he has ever been and basically went around killing everything (except Arius for very contrived Plot reasons) and the fact that Bolverk not only fought him once and managed to run away shows he is a cut above the rest.
A debate that shouldn't even exist because it's ridiculous to think that a demon general is more powerful than a demon king.If you bring the whole Argosax thing like Random did, there were actually talks about him scaling above Argosax but we never reached a consensus and the topic was forgotten.
We are talking a very large group of people who worshipped evil to the point they created this tower, said tower contains a ton of knowledge and all of this was done before Mundus came into the picture. Using PoC here, the book of demons was actually found inside the temen-ni-gru library (the one you fight Lady in) and the book of demons was created by Matriarch Mathilda from a demon she sealed.
Mathilda as a name wasn't registered up until the 11 century (could be a bit wrong but it's irrelevant to the point) while the Matriarch existed like 1 thousand years prior to that.
Names in the DMC world existing in different eras compared to our real world is a thing and most likely the same with Allan.
PoC is an alternate universe with differences in the Demon World history so expect that there will be some in the Human World history as well.It was an example of how things that are "modern" were already a thing way back in the past of DMC.
We can also go with PoC for this as Mathilda sealed a demons over 2k years ago and the name Mathilda (from a quick google search) didn't pop up until the 11 century.
