## Biography

### Early Life

**Virgil** was created by Wickhills Forest to act as a steward for the fae living there. The forest later created a brother, Durant, to act as his companion, but the two did not get along well. This led to the creation of Virgil's sisters.

In the late 1800s, Virgil encountered a young witch, Greta, and developed a friendship with her. Over time they considered each other adoptive siblings, and Virgil became an uncle to her daughter Trudi. However, Durant used this relationship to trick Virgil into falling under a sleeping curse. Greta was unable to wake him completely, as he regained consciousness but still couldn't move, and Durant usurped control of the fae court and began to call himself "The Serpent King".

### Main Storyline

A century later, Virgil woke with only hazy memories of his time sleeping, to discover that his mother seemed to be very sick. He was horrified to learn how much time had passed, as both Greta and Trudi had died while he was sleeping.

While trying to regain his bearings, he was drawn towards Patton, Logan and Roman who he remembered hearing speak while he slept. At first, he confronted Roman, since his sisters told him it was Roman who broke the sleeping curse, but Roman did not seem to remember doing it. He later sneaks into Patton's truck, who agrees to help him and sneaks him into his barn. Patton gives him a change of clothes and they talk. During their conversation, Virgil discovers that Patton doesn't know how to control his magical voice and tells him he'll teach him, which caused Patton to kiss him.

After returning to the Gage house, May Gage was able to explain that she and Roman were Greta's descendants, and had together been able to lift the curse using a loophole that Greta had made a deal with The Serpent King to create. He also learnt that the monster Durant has been using to attack people was Greta's ghost, which had become grief-crazed in the time since her death. Virgil also tells Logan, who has thought of himself as a weak Unseelie so far, that he's actually a powerful Seelie and the two kiss. From their conversation he realizes that the forest is sick because of the lack of balance between the Seelie and the Unseelie, caused by his brother.

With the help of several fae knights who are loyal to his claim on the throne, Virgil returns to the court in order to face Durant. After Roman stole away the ring he was using to control Greta, Virgil destroyed it. This set her spirit free, and she took the form of a dragon and turned on Durant, killing him.

Seconds before his death, Durant gave back Roman's lost memories, from the time he had to spend with him as part of their deal, which put Roman into a dreamful sleep. After Roman woke up he kissed Virgil.

Virgil went to Greta's grave and said his goodbyes to her spirit before Patton helped her to move on. He then began to reclaim control of the fae court, restoring balance to the forest.

## Powers

Virgil is the most powerful fae in the court.

His abilities include:

* Being able to kill any fae in the court.
* Manipulation of shadows into whatever he'd like such as: knives, spikes, blades, tentacles that can tear people apart, teeth, ect.
* Traveling through the shadows that are directly connected to his mother.
* Bestow magical gifts/ charms/ boons limitlessly, despite it taking a toll on most fae. (For example; White's gift to Patton was the limit of her abilities and left her weakened for a long time, while his gift to Trudi weakened him for less than a day).
* Electricity.
