What inspired the name of this Devil May Cry weapon?

[Prince091]

In the Devil May Cry franchise, was the Red Queen's name inspired by the Biblical Whore of Babylon the same way the Agony franchise's the Red Goddess's name was inspired by the Biblical Whore of Babylon?

In the Devil May Cry franchise, the Red Queen is a weapon owned by Nero.

I've never heard the Harlot referred to as "Red Queen".

It's certainly possible, but in my experience, when people are talking about "the Red Queen", it's usually in reference to 'Through the Looking Glass'.
