**Vergil** is the leader of "The Order" and twin brother of Dante in *DmC: Devil May Cry*. As Dante's younger brother, he is a Nephilim born to the demon Sparda and the angel Eva. He opposes Mundus's tyrannical rule over humanity, and enlists his brother's help in gaining revenge on the demon king for tearing their family apart. After Mundus' defeat, Vergil reveals his true intentions, becoming the hidden secondary antagonist and final boss of the game. He is also the protagonist of "Vergil's Downfall", an additional DLC chapter for the game that picks up where the story of the main game ends.

This particular incarnation of Vergil will appear in a future Unity Force storyline.

## Appearance

As Dante's younger twin brother, Vergil bears a close resemblance to him and has blue-gray eyes, and their facial structure is modeled after Dante's voice actor, Tim Phillipps. However, while Dante's hair is black, Vergil's is white. He wears a black coat with a long tail on the right side and a collar with a larger left side. There is a Brassard on the left bicep of the coat, which also has blue, ornate scrollwork sewn into the left side of the upper back and a blue lining. Vergil's hands are covered by light blue gloves, and he wears a blue dress slacks, with black leather shoes. When out in public, he often hides his silver hair underneath a black homburg with curled brim sides. He also wears his half of their mother's amulet, a pendant identical to Dante's, albeit blue in coloring.

When issuing videos for The Order, Vergil wears a silver mask with a menacing, toothy grin quite similar to Jester's face from Devil May Cry 3 and uses a voice distorter.

After becoming corrupt, Vergil's appearance is similar to that of his original counterpart's "corrupt Vergil" his hair becomes unkempt and swept back, his skin pales, showing some of its veins, and though he loses his pupils and his irises become orange, these changes are eclipsed by the bright light his eyes radiate. His coat, while remaining black, acquires a white tint in the collar, and his sleeves and hands constantly emit a white aura.

Interestingly, his facial features are very similar to that of his classic counterpart's helmetless Nelo Angelo appearance.

## Personality

Just as Vergil and Dante's styles of fighting differ, so do their personalities. Vergil's personality is almost the exact opposite of Dante: calm, collected, intelligent, respectful, and polite. He also has a deep love for his brother, as shown by their various interactions. Vergil found it absurd when Mundus demanded to trade Kat for Dante. His love for Dante is also shown when they playfully argue over which of them was better. He was deeply hurt when Dante betrayed him, stating that he "loved him".

After Mundus's death, Vergil reveals his true side. He is manipulative and willing to use anybody and everything to achieve his objectives, as shown when he stated that Kat was "useful." He sees humanity as weak and needing to be guided by someone-namely himself-because if not they will create chaos and wars. Vergil believed that humans would fight each other to grab power, and it was his intention to unite humanity under his flag for a better cause. Because of these views, he came to blows with his brother.

During *Vergil's Downfall*, his 'betrayal' at the hands of Dante caused his mind to change. He became ruthless, cold, vengeful and power-hungry, desiring absolute power. He would cut down anyone who stood in his way of gaining power as he killed any feelings he had for Kat, Dante, and his mother. He resents Dante for always being better than him. He also showed that he resented his mother for playing favorites with him and his brother, for showing more love for Dante. His resentment toward his former bonds is connected to him denying and neglecting the responsibility toward the concequences of his actions, saying what he did had to be done. He also believed what his parents taught him was wrong and believed power was the only thing that mattered to him.
