Vergil Shepard

Vergil is a descendant of Sparta, Son of Joan and Raphael Shepard, and brother of Dante Shepard. He is one of the Vatican's strongest warriors.

## History

Vergil was left at the Vatican when he was five years old and because of this blamed himself for being too weak to defend himself. From that day he trained in sword fighting in order to make sure he was strong enough to protect everyone. This resolve was only strengthened by the deaths of many of his friends and mentors at the hands of monsters and demons.

## Personality

Vergil is emotionally distant. Vergil comes off as cold and callous to others. He is devoted to serving the Vatican and because of this has perfect posture and eticate at all times. He makes sure his uniform is always in perfect condition as well as his weapons. He has a narrow mind view of the world which often manifests in his belief that Catholicism is the only true religion and every other belief is sacrilegious and deserves to be cut down.

### Son of Sparta

Descendants of Sparta are born with greater reflexes than normal demons or angels which allows them to dodge attacks much easier. Being a son of Sparta provides them with greater magic abilities as well as great potential

### Nephilim Blood/ Nephilim Spirit

The blood/spirit of a Nephilim is much more powerful than normal beings and because of this can supercharge beings that gain their power from blood or spirit energy like Succubi or Vampires respectively. The blood and spirit can also overcharge a creature causing its power to spiral out of control and destroy itself. This power is especially effective against weaker beings like zombies who aren't durable enough to withstand the power increase. Nephilim are also immune to any disease given that their blood is a mixture of two opposing forces which tear apart any foreign pathogen.
