## Character Backstory

Born as the first son of Eve and Sparda, Vergil is the older twin of Dante. However, the two can be considered polar opposites of each other. Unlike his boisterous and carefree sibling, Vergil cares little for others or their well-being on his quest to reach unmatched power, as he rejects his humanity. Having spent his life taking care of himself and himself alone, Vergil traversed the world, not only for becoming more powerful, but learning of exploiting his father’s heritage ever further.

## Storyline:

Upon being separated into two halves by the Yamato, a demon and a man, Vergil began to self-reflect on the path he has chosen and why. While the guilt that has tormented and driven him forward for years is very much eternal, the struggles of his humanity to reunite with the demonic side against all odds and succeeding was the point of revelation to him. His memories as the fragile, dying V, the humanity he had suppressed for so long, humbled to resurrected Vergil. Perhaps, humans have much more to them than their fragility...
