That's easy, he didn't exist by that time yet. That's the problem of having a fuck-up of an entry to the franchise - like Devil May Cry 2. Then you make a good prequel story to it, like Black Flag, and then make the game that isn't a direct prequel, but still set earlier, and there are some inconsistenices - like DMC4.
