==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 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.

Standard Equipment:
<tabber>
|-|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.
|-|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.
|-|Summoned Swords=
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.
|-|Mirage Edge=
Vergil conjures a spectral sword 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>
Intelligence: Gifted, extremely knowledgeable about the demonic world and its legends, and also able to master new weapons with ease. | Virtually Mindless, slaving to Mundus's will, but retains enough of his combat skill to fight Dante on equal terms | Gifted.
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).
<tabber>
|-|Devil Trigger=
|-|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.

Note: Vergil's optional equipment come from the canonical mobile game Peak of Combat, but the mechanics of the game fall into the Optional Equipment rules set by RPG characters with no distinct/set of weaponry they use above all other potential items they may have, being completely in the choosing of the player. As such, whilst they are listed as Optional, there is no reason to assume anything regarding their canonicity.
