Appearance

Vergil is identical to Dante as they are twins, with the difference that he wears a long blue trench coat, brown boots, and serpentine green pants, with a cloth around his neck over a sleeveless black vest. He wears gloves with bare fingers and his silver hair is always standing up, revealing his entire face. He always has his katana held in his hand.

Personality

In contrast to his brother Dante who is outgoing and energetic, Vergil is serious, calm and cold. He usually does not care about others or his surroundings beyond his own goals. Unlike his brother who tries to deny his demonic heritage, he is proud to be the son of the Legendary Dark Knight, longing to power him and become a true demon. Although he loves his mother Eve and does not despise humans, he feels that his human heritage makes him incomplete and weak. His warrior code prevents him from using firearms since he considers them unworthy and very inelegant in combat, which is why he only uses weapons that depend on his own ability. He is said to be an honorable warrior, but his moral ethics are questionable as he more than once tried to eliminate his unsuspecting enemies. Although it seems that he is a self-confident person, the truth is that he feels insecure about himself or Dante, firmly believing that his mother loved his brother more than him, or having the idea that obtaining the power of his father, he would not need anyone or fear anything. This makes him feel guilty for the death of his mother, thus beginning his obsession with obtaining greater power. Although he tries to seem like a character with a cold and sadistic character, the truth is that deep down he loved his brother and cared about him not being locked up in the Demon World. Despite the popular belief that Vergil hates humans, the truth is that he never had any hostile intentions towards them, he is only indifferent to them because he considers them inferior, but that makes him somewhat hypocritical not to care what would happen to the Human World.

History

Past: Vergil and Dante lived an ordinary life, playing like healthy children loving their family. During her supposed eighth birthday, Eva gives her children some necklaces which would be fragments of the key to the Demon World. One night the demons find the whereabouts of the traitor's family and hunt them down. Eva dies trying to keep Dante hidden and safe while Vergil, on his part, was away in a cemetery where he is attacked by a horde of demons which he faces to survive. He gets hold of the Yamato sword and awakens his demonic powers and manages to win. After this, Vergil believes that he is the only survivor of his family, so he begins a new life in the quest to gain power. Devil May Cry 3 (manga): A year before the events of Temen-ni-gru, Vergil is in a library looking for information about his father and that is when he meets Arkham, who tells him about the ancient tower and its seals that hide a great legendary power. These two establish a partnership to make said tower emerge. Those seals are actually ancient demons whose names were removed by Sparda so that they could serve as 'locks' who would keep the tower hidden. While Arkham investigates the location of the seals, Vergil stays at his mansion, where a drunken Enzo accidentally mistakes him for Dante, revealing to him that his twin brother was still alive after all.

Story 2

Arkham finds the location of the first seal and together with Vergil they prepare to break it. When they arrive at the place, that demon was a giant statue with an angelic shape to which Vergil responds that it was not a demon, receiving in response that beauty also exists in the Demon World. That demon makes Vergil relive an old memory about the night when his mother died. After reliving that scene, he tears it apart even though that statue was still alive, demanding that he return the name taken by his father. Vergil tells him that if he wants a name, let him choose it, then the demon calls himself one of the Seven Sins and his name would be 'Pride'. The first seal was released. Back at the Arkham mansion, he is requested and that is when he begins to tell him more about the Temen-Ni-Gru seals and that he would have located the next one.

One night he visits the newly conceived as the new Leader of Fortuna and the Order of the Sword, Sanctus, who I believe is under attack and tries to attack that strange visitor but senses that his powers are very different and lowers his weapon to talk.
