Vergil (DMC)

Vergil is the son of the demon Sparda and angel Eva, and is thus a Nephilim like his twin brother Dante.

Although the two were close as children, their idyllic life was shattered when Mundus attacked their mansion and murdered their mother.

Before Sparda was hunted down and imprisoned, he took the children on the run, and in order to protect them, he erased their memories and separated them, leaving Dante at St. Lamia's Orphanage.

Vergil, however, was adopted into a rich home to live a life of privilege, with the explanation that he had suffered amnesia from a car accident.

Highly intelligent, Vergil wrote a security encryption program and went on to become an independently wealthy multi-millionaire before leaving school.

He eventually discovered the truth of his past and decided to eliminate Mundus.

To this end, he founded The Order with the funds from his skill as a hacker, and began working to reveal the truth of the world to the people of Limbo City, as well as to undermine Mundus's own organization.

Despite Vergil wearing a mask in all of The Order's videos, Mundus has pictures of Vergil's face and is aware he is part of The Order.

However, he remains unaware that Vergil is a Nephilim.

Just before the Hunter ambushes Dante at the pier, Vergil issues a new video to the media informing the city that they must wake up, while also sending Kat to rescue Dante and guide him to The Order's base.

When Dante arrives, Vergil introduces himself, and explains that although Dante doesn't recognize him, they are in fact twin brothers separated by Mundus's evil.

He asks Dante to assist him in his battle against Mundus, and when Dante replies that he prefers his own methods of bull-rushing the demons, he replies that although he can't stop Dante from leaving, it would still be a mistake, and pleads with his brother to at least accompany him to their old home.

Dante agrees, and so Kat and Vergil take Dante to the abandoned mansion.

As Kat opens a gate to Limbo for Dante, Vergil explains that this trip will let Dante remember his past.

After Dante returns through gateway, he reunites with Vergil, who explains everything that Dante needs to know about his family, Mundus and the fact the twins are Nephilim, the only beings who can slay the demon king.

However, they are found by a Looker, and although Vergil quickly executes it, Dante is dragged into Limbo, so Vergil goes to find Kat to help Dante again.

After Dante is pulled out of Limbo, Vergil brings him back to The Order’s hideout, laying out his plan on defeating Mundus.

The first step is to break the demon king’s rule over mankind.

They need to take out the Raptor News Network, which monitors the humans, and the Virility soda drink, which keeps them docile.

These actions will catch Mundus’ attention and draw him away from the Hell Gate, which is the source of his power and immortality.

Once Mundus’ link to the gate is severed, he will be mortal, giving them the chance to kill him.

With the full plan revealed, Vergil explains that Mundus doesn’t know of his existence so he needs to stay hidden.

But the demon king is aware of Dante, so Vergil warns him to stay low.

He then sends his brother and Kat to the Virility factory for their first mission.

There Dante kills the succubus named Poison, who is the drink’s secret ingredient that weakens humans.

With the objective completed, Vergil reunites with them on a city bridge, where Raptor News Tower is in clear sight.

To take out the news corporation, Vergil and Kat tell Dante that he must reach the tower in Limbo and kill the demon running the network: news reporter Bob Barbas.

Vergil informs Dante that he must complete the mission on his own since Kat cannot come with him.

Dante reassures Kat and enters Limbo, falling through the bridge and into the upside-down realm.

However, during Dante’s absence, The Order’s hideout is found and invaded by SWAT teams, who mercilessly kill a majority of the organization’s members.

In the Octagon room Vergil is trapped in Limbo by a Butcher who corners him.

After Dante rescues him, Vergil explains that he needs to destroy his data, saying that their enemies will learn all of his plans if they find it.

Despite Dante’s protests, Vergil has Kat arm the self-destruct as he cannot do it from Limbo.

He then demands Dante to buy them some time, giving him the Revenant shotgun for help.

Once Vergil and Kat finish, SWAT is almost through.

Vergil then proceeds to leave, telling Dante that they cannot save Kat because she’s in the real world and they’re in Limbo.

Eventually, the brothers escape while SWAT storms in and captures Kat. Vergil and Dante exit from Limbo and leave the crumbling facility behind.

Dante and Vergil argue whether Kat's life is worth risking a loss against Mundus.

As they hide in a safe house, Vergil receives a video message from Mundus, who demands a trade: Kat's life, for Dante's.

Vergil realizes that Mundus knows less than he thought, unaware that he is Dante’s brother and also a Nephilim.

As for Kat, Vergil argues that they cannot give up Dante's life for hers, but a stubborn Dante suggests that they trade Lilith for Kat, instead, explaining that Lilith is valuable to Mundus because she carries his child.

Vergil argues against this plan, as they could use Lilith to lure Mundus out of his lair and slay him once and for all, but Dante insists on his suggestion.

Seeing that his brother will not change his mind, Vergil reluctantly agrees and searches the Internet for information about Lilith.

He finds that she runs the Devil's Dalliance, using demonic substances to turn her guests into Lookers.

That night, Dante gets inside the nightclub and fights Lilith, defeating her and her child.

When Dante brings her back, Vergil records him as he makes his counter proposal to Mundus.

The brothers set up the trade at the docks, where a SWAT teams arrives to deliver Kat.

The brothers and the police point their guns at each other as the women walk towards their respective sides.

However Vergil kills Lilith and her child, causing a gun battle between the two sides.

Vergil shoots down the SWAT team while Dante saves Kat.

As they make their escape, they are sucked into Limbo by a furious Mundus.

As Vergil’s car is constantly blocked by debris, Dante helps him and Kat by clearing the path and prevent their deaths.

Back at the safe house, Kat shows Vergil and Dante a layout of the Silver Sacks Tower.

She explains that since Mundus has weakened because of his previous outburst, they now have a chance to kill him.

The brothers then infiltrate the tower from different areas.

Vergil sneaks through the back door undetected while Dante enters from the front and distracts Mundus.

From the security rooms, Vergil helps his brother by overriding the security program, removing lasers that were blocking the path.

During one of their brief reunions, Vergil gives Dante the Kablooey firearm, having taken it from a security guard he defeated.

At the top, the brothers proceed to Mundus’ chamber together, but their path is blocked when the vault closes.

After restarting the generators, Vergil hides near the entrance while his brother confronts the demon king alone.

Dante manages to arouse Mundus’ anger by sneering about the death of his child, but is blasted out of the tower and pinned down by the demon king.

Vergil quickly takes the opportunity and enters Mundus’ chambers.

With the Yamato, he closes the Hell Gate, rendering the demon king’s immortality.

Vergil then teleports to Mundus, who is about to rip Dante’s heart out and stabs him in the back, telling him to leave his brother alone.

Mundus falls on top of a car below, but does not die as he rises up, revealing his true form.

As they dodge his attacks, Vergil tells Dante to distract him while he tries to open the third eye.

He then summons projectile swords and attacks the demon king.

But Mundus overpowers him, proceeding to crush him.

Dante saves him by unleashing his Devil Trigger and stunning the demon king, allowing Vergil to attack the eye and force it open.

Dante takes the opportunity and slams a punch at Mundus’ face, but the demon king pulls him off and throws him off.

As Dante is knocked out and falls, Vergil quickly teleports and grabs him, landing safely inside a nearby building.

They see that they have made cracks of Mundus’ shell, and his true body is at the core.

However as he attacks them again, Vergil is sucked into the core and is forced to fight the demon king inside.

But after breaking the outer shell, Dante bursts inside and kills Mundus with one slice.

The brothers then escape together as the demon king’s body erupts and explodes.

Vergil sadly reminisces that he had loved Dante before fleeing.

With the threat of Mundus now eliminated, Vergil was free to reveal his true ambition: To rule humanity as a protective master.

Viewing humans as frail, clumsy children, he concludes that they need supervision to protect themselves from themselves.

This revelation creates a rift between the re-united brothers, as Dante refuses to rule alongside him.

Unable to convince Dante otherwise, Vergil attacks.

The brother engage in a fierce battle, but Dante proves victorious and nearly murders Vergil in a furious rage, though his life was spared with Kat's plea.

Dante helps Vergil to his feet, the two exchange glares as Vergil leaves with a sorrowful "I loved you, brother," then opens a portal with Yamato and departs.

Following his defeat at the hands of Dante, Vergil, severely injured by the fight, stumbles to a grave with a photo of his family.

He collapses and seemingly plummets into the depths of hell.

There he hears the voices of his mother, who urges him to find the light and escape.

As he battles through the denizens of Hell, Vergil is met by a phantasmal version of himself.

The Hollow Vergil takes the true Vergil's heart and sends him on a quest throughout hell to find Kat and Dante.

Vergil kills the Hollow Dante and steals his amulet.

Vergil proceeds, cutting through hordes of devils to find Kat being hunted by a demon.

Soon after rescuing her, Vergil finds that this Kat is a phantasm, and slices it down, cutting off a part of his human heart.

Returning to the Hollow, he learns of Dante being somewhere in the netherworld.

Vergil descends further into Hell to find him, and is taunted by the ghostly visage of his brother as he chases him across Hell.

After an intense battle with his "brother", he kills him, taking Dante's amulet as his prize, cutting of yet another part of his heart.

Then, the Hollow sends Vergil to find his mother.

Battling through more demon hordes, he finds his mother being attacked by a great demon.

He dispatches the beast, but all is not well.

Vergil shows Dante's amulet, and claims him dead, and that he was the killer.

Eva is distraught at what Vergil had become, as her son tells her that he has discarded his heart.

Vergil leaves his mother behind, leaving her crying for him.

The last tormented part of his heart is gone.

He confronts Hollow Vergil, desiring the azure amulet that the Hollow wore around his neck, and the two battle.

Vergil defeats his Hollow, absorbing it's power, but his appearance is altered; his eyes now glow just like a demon and his hair is sticking upwards.

Vergil finally leaves the underworld, but is met by a parade of devils.

The leader roars at him, but Vergil's eyes glow a demonic red, causing the demons to bow to him.

Cracking an evil smile, Vergil leads his new demon army, as the new Demon King.
