## Description

**Virgil Vespa** was a major NPC in The Piracy Investigation.

She grew up in Sapitto alongside her now-estranged sister, Dante Vespa. They grew apart after Dante fell in with a, "bad crowd" while she was young. She originally wanted to go along with Dante, but after she learned of the her sister's dealings with pirates, she turned to the opposite perspective.

Wanting to be nothing like her older sister she went to look for employment in law enforcement. She became the youngest Lieutenant in Sapitto and rose to the rank of Sheriff by age 43.

Before the beginning of the campaign, she got an order from the Chief of Police across her desk telling her to bring in the notorious revolutionary, Louie VanDern. She began looking for candidates to help her out from among the town, but decided instead to simply put a bounty on the man's head and let it sort itself out. It would be a decidedly quick and messy way to deal with the problem, but that shouldn't matter. After all no major conflicts would arise because of it being dealt with in a public fashion, right?

She meets the party at the beginning of the campaign and gives them the main questline of bringing in Louie VanDern. She gives them a few minor details and trusts that the party can find their way, as it's not like she and the local police have had any better luck finding the guy. The most they know is he's in town.

She can be spotted by the party multiple times among the streets and if the party begins to cause problems she may end up opposing them.

If Louie VanDern is brought in, she's elated.

After his being captured and arrested, she was brought into the Capital of Bolucea, and was given a promotion... give or take. She ended up the Chief Comissioner of Border Patrol in Porpoca, a small town bordering Zeltrus. It's said she wasn't exactly satisfied with this, but the Aristocracy's reasoning behind her sidegrade of a job is the sloppy fashion with which the revolutionary was brought down. She was put in a position where she could, "Still commit to her countries' safety in a fashion much more befitting of her ways."

### Physical Appearance

She's tall, but average height for a cayator. She's also quite slim for her size, but this leads most to underestimate her physical strength. Her scales are a subdued olive green for the most part save for black and yellow striping going down her back vertically with her scales. Virgil also has a dark splaying of scales around her eyes, said to be an atypical family trait of the Vespa family. Her fangs peek out of her mouth, due to an impounded upper jaw she got as a child, causing her fangs to be unable to recede back into her mouth and have since become immovable.
