Vergil

**Vergil** is a professional wrestler and video game personality currently signed to Stockport Wrestling Association, where he is a former SWA World Heavyweight Champion, Cross Atlantic Champion and Connect Champion, making him one of a select few to be a Triple Crown Champion in SWA. Vergil generally portrays a mostly antagonistic character in SWA and is known for his alliance with fellow villain Bryan Fury. This is a fair reflection of his character outside SWA, where he serves as a morally ambiguous character or antagonist in the Devil May Cry series.

## Professional wrestling career

#### Early days; Connect Champion arc (2009-2010)

Vergil debuted at SWA's premiere *New Day, New Fight* as one of eight competitors in the SWA World Heavyweight Championship tournament. In one night, Vergil defeated future ally Bryan Fury and Steve Fox to advance to the finals of the Tournament, on 16th August 2009 at SWA's *Jim Breaks Special* event, against Erza Scarlet. At this event, Vergil "surprisingly" lost to Erza in the Tournament finals. Vergil would complain that in facing two of her guild mates, Erza had the easier road to the finals, which offended the two guild mates Laxus Dreyar and Natsu Dragneel. Thus, the four would face off in Erza's first championship defence at the *Collision* event in Deepdale, Preston. At this event, Vergil was unsuccessful in becoming the World Champion, as Erza pinned him to retain her Championship. Vergil then assisted Bryan Fury in his feud against Fairy Tail, the two defeating Team Natsu (Natsu and Grey Fullbuster) in a Connect Match at the Autumn Special event. With Fury going on to compete in the World Championship scene, Vergil then feuded with Fullbuster and defeated him in a Christmas Street Fight at SWA's *Christmas Special* with the help of Bayman. Vergil and Bayman collectively worked as 2 Cold to defeat champions Perfection (Kei Takishima and Raphael Sorel) and Team Natsu (Natsu and Grey), thus winning the Connect Championships at SWA's *Reverberation*.
