==Summary==
Vergil was one of the twin sons born from the demon Sparda and human Eva and is the main antagonist of Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening and a playable character in its special edition. After the demon invasion, when a younger Vergil managed to survive alone and mistakenly believed that his mother abandoned him during the crisis, he started to deny his humanity and embraced his demonic legacy, in contrast to his younger brother's embrace of the human side and initial rejection against the devil. Stoic and reserved, Vergil displays a willingness to do anything in his quest to obtain the power of his father, Sparda.
In an unknown conclusion to a confrontation with Mundus in the secret ending to Devil May Cry 3, he is corrupted. He becomes the Dark Angel encountered in Devil May Cry, known as Nelo Angelo (also alternatively spelled Nero Angelo). After numerous conflicts throughout the game, he is finally defeated by Dante.
He later makes a playable appearance in Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition, where he is featured in his campaign detailing his actions in the city of Fortuna decades before the events of 4 and shortly before 3.
It is revealed in Devil May Cry 5, years after his last encounter with Dante as Nelo Angelo, Vergil had survived and is now free from Mundus's control, but is significantly weakened as a result. As the hooded figure who took the Yamato, ripping the Devil Bringer from his son Nero in the process, Vergil is the final antagonist of the game after both the newcomer V and Urizen merge back together as himself, both revealed to be his human and demon halves.

</tabber>
Attack Potency: Building Level (should be on the same scaling tier as the likes of Sealed Mundus and Arkham with the Force Edge who are beginning to tap into the kind of powers renowned the Demon World over akin to Mundus's generals Griffon and Phantom who can at least survive in various combat situations against a semi-serious DMC1 Dante who struggled to defeat Nightmare) | Building Level with Devil Trigger (should be stronger then before; stronger with Beowulf; stronger with Force Edge) | At least Building Level, Higher (comparable to DMC1 Dante; stronger during the second battle; stronger during when he sees Dante a third time; stronger while unmasked) | Large Building Level, Far Higher with Sin Devil Trigger (Surpassed his demonic self, Urizen after he ate the Qliphoth fruit and is equivalent to DMC5 Dante in all forms).
Speed: At least Massively Hypersonic+ with at least FTL Combat and Reaction speed (Should be on the same speed tier as the likes of Sealed Mundus and Arkham with the Force Edge who are beginning to tap into the kind of powers renowned the Demon World over which would naturally extend to speed as well as Vergil at this point should be able to casually outpace and surpass any lower-level demons, capable of blocking and dodging the Damned Rook Laser and outpacing even Mid-Tier Demons who should be casually faster then any low-tier demon) | Higher (Comparable to DMC5 Dante.)
Durability: Building Level, Higher with Devil Trigger (Comparable to various demons, along with dante) | Building Level with Devil Trigger (should be stronger then before) | Building Level, Higher with Devil Trigger (Can endure hits from Force Edge Arkham and is comparable to Dante, increased durability with Force Edge) | Building Level (Took attacks from DMC1 Dante and eventually grew more durable in each fight) | Large Building Level, Far Higher with Sin Devil Trigger (comparable to Endgame DMC5 Dante).
Lifting Strength: Class K (Superior to most Mid-Tier Demons) | Class K, Likely Higher (Stronger then before, comparable to Endgame DMC5 Dante)
Stamina: Superhuman (As a Demon, Vergil can last hours in battle without pause and like Dante can fight entire hordes of demons and fights against Demon Bosses without rest or relevant signs of fatigue, only showing it against prolonged fights against those who were comparable to him and showed to need only mere seconds to recover. Dante showed to need only mere seconds to recover after combat and he can also recover his stamina and energy when he is in Devil Trigger in middle of combat) | Superhuman (Dante and Vergil fought against each other for 39 days straight in the Underworld from June 15 to July 24 while having extremely short breaks).
Range: Extended Melee Range normally, Tens of Meters with projectiles, Kilometers with Sensing (Vergil was able to sense Lady's presence when she entered the Temen-ni-gru, scales to Dante who from kilometers away in the city senses Vergil on top of Temen-Ni-Gru which erupts in middle of the city. Universal+ with Yamato (Can create portals in the Demon World while in the Human World, and vice versa, as seen when Dante used a broken Yamato shard to escape the Demon World and return back into the Human World after the events of Devil May Cry 2) | Varies from Extended Melee Range to Tens of Meters with projectiles | Interdimensional with Sensing (Like Dante, Vergil even as Nelo Angelo should be able to sense sense presences from differing dimensions. Should be able to sense killing intent from the Demonic dimension. | Varies from Extended Melee Range to Tens of Meters with projectiles and energy attacks and Planetary with shockwaves (Can create powerful shockwaves sufficient to shake the planet Earth. 
Intelligence: Intellectually Gifted (Gifted, extremely knowledgeable about the demonic world and its legends, and also able to master new weapons with ease. | Sentient, enslaved to Mundus's will, but retains enough of his combat skill to fight Dante on equal terms. At times Vergil as Nelo Angelo shows legitimate eagerness for not only fighting Dante, but doing so in an honorable fashion rather then an dishonorable or animalistic fashion and will even taunt Dante at times to goad his opponent | Gifted.
Standard Equipment: 
<tabber>
|-|DMC Code Dante/Vergil= Yamato: This is Vergil's primary weapon Yamato. It ignores conventional durability. Examples of this are when Yamato pierced through Nero's Devil Bringer which was supposed to be an indestructible demonic arm. And cut open a dimensional wall to aid Dante against Arkham, and has many showings of spatial cutting. Yamato has also been shown to be capable of slicing targets dozens of meters away with ease. Summoned Swords/Mirage Blades: Vergil conjures a spectral sword that bears a resemblance to Force Edge and launches it at high speeds against his enemies. Vergil is skilled in their usage circling himself with the blades and being able to shoot them out afterward if he wants, being able to summon them to surround an enemy eventually impaling them and making them rain towards an enemy also. He has also shown that he can create swords of different sizes and can wield one himself.
|-|DMC3 DA=Everything from before plus 
Beowulf: Flash gauntlets and greaves, which had enough power to launch Beowulf into the air from an uppercut and slice him in half with an axe kick. It also demonstrates Vergil's skill in hand-to-hand combat. Lunar Phase and Beowulf Combo B. Force Edge: A blade similar in power to Rebellion. It is the sealed form of the sword wielded by Sparda himself; Vergil dual-wields it with Yamato in combat. Vergil is capable of throwing the Force Edge with such power; it creates a whirlwind vacuum and sucks any enemies in carving them up. Vergil is also capable of stabbing at tremendously high speeds with this weapon. Vergil can also use energy slashes when wielding Force Edge.
|-|DMC1=Summoned Swords/Mirage Blades, plus Nelo Angelo's Greatsword: a large greatsword with various blue markings adorned on the blade when it is surrounded by a blue aura when active in power. In its normal form, it appears in a metallic color with the aforementioned markings in a dull color. The sword itself has no special powers, but with Vergil being able to transfer energy to his weapons, makes the blade always glow with cool-color fire as it is swung. 
|-|DMC1=Yamato and Summoned Swords/Mirage Blades, plus Mirage Edge: A spectral sword Vergil conjures that bears a resemblance to Force Edge, except this time to use for offensive combat instead of using it as a ranged projectile, dual-wielding it alongside Yamato. Vergil uses it in the same exact manner as he used the Force Edge, using it as a replacement.
</tabber>
Weaknesses: Dangerously overconfident. Vergil can sometimes become a little too obsessed with beating Dante to show his superiority | Seeing items from his past causes him pain. Remains obsessed with defeating his brother Dante | He retains his overconfidence and obsession with defeating Dante. Nevertheless, Vergil introspects at the end of the story; he reconciles with his twin and even accepts his help while continuing their sibling rivalry peacefully (Though he still shows considerable annoyance towards Dante and his antics).
Notable Attacks/Techniques: 
Summoned Swords: As said before, Vergil can summon spectral blades that resemble the form of the Force Edge. Through this, Vergil has numerous ways to use his summoned swords, whether for attacking his enemies from a distance, surrounding them with it or from atop, or having the blades move around himself for defense and attack enemies get too close to him.
Judgement Cut: A signature move Vergil performs with his Yamato. By using the space-cutting properties of the sword, Vergil can attack his enemies from a distance by cutting through the air, where it sends a dark distortion that is then covered in slashes, cutting anyone caught in it to shreds. Vergil can also send multiple Judgement Cuts in rapid succession.
* Judgement Cut End: A more powerful variation of Judgement Cut, where Vergil readies up his sword and then moves forward at such speeds to leave after-images behind. Such a move allows him to cover the area in his slashes, allowing him to take out large numbers of enemies in one full sweep.
Hell on Earth: By concentrating his demonic/magic powers on his hand and slamming than in the ground with a mighty punch, Vergil can create a powerful AOE attack that can cause devastating attacks on his enemies.
Deep Stinger: A forward lunge using both Yamato and Mirage Edge, with all the strength of his body and soul behind them.
Other Abilities
<tabber>
|-|Darkslayer Style=Vergil's Dark Slayer is his most effective movement tool, allowing him to reposition himself on the battlefield by teleportation in a manner akin to Dante's own Trickster Style that allows him to teleport above enemies, in front of enemies, away from enemies, and as a sidestep to dodge attacks.
|-|Doppelganger=is an ability used by Vergil in Devil May Cry 5 and Special Edition. It utilizes Vergil's Yamato Devil Clone (分身・閻魔刀魔人 Bunshin-Yamato majin?) – a spectral copy of his True Devil form to assist him in battle.
