History:
Vergil is one of the twin sons of legendary Dark Knight Sparda, the demon who betrayed his own people to seal off the the demon realm from the mortal realm, and the human Eva. Both Sparda and Eva were taken from the boys at a young age, but it was the loss of their mother that hurt Dante and Vergil the most. While Dante sought to avenge his mother and prevent such tragedies from happening to other people, Vergil became consumed with the desire for power. He felt that his lack of strength meant he could not protect his mother, or even himself, from others with power, and became determined to rectify that perceived weakness at all costs.

To that end, Vergil sought Dante's half of the amulet given to them by their mother, split in two when they were young. With it, he planned to undo the spell that sealed away the demon world, so that he could break the seal and reclaim the immense power of Sparda. Vergil allied with a mortal occultist named Arkham, who had sacrificed his own loving wife and manipulated his daughter into aiding their twisted plan. Together, Vergil and Arkham raised the tower of fear, Temen-ni-gru, and lured Dante within, drawing him into a battle atop the tower. Vanquishing his brother, Vergil stole Dante's half of the amulet and pierced into the heart of the tower to break the seal. Ultimately, he betrayed Arkham, never intending to share power, but underestimated the mortal, who had manipulated the entire affair behind the scenes.

Dante and Vergil fought again in the bowels of Temen-ni-gru, and then Arkham struck while they were weakened. He seized Sparda's power for himself, or at least a crude mockery thereof, forcing the sons of Sparda to team up for the first time since they were children. They slew Arkham and began their battle anew, but the dimensional chaos around them claimed Vergil, who fell into the demon world with only his own half of the amulet. Dante grieved, thinking his brother dead, but the truth was far worse...
Personality:
Vergil is the polar opposite of his brother, possessed of little sense of humor and less time for games. His cool exterior is no facade; Vergil is a very calm and collected man, even in anger. He does not toy with the object of his attention, be it a goal or an enemy. He is quick to act once he has decided upon a course of action and will miss no opportunity to further his agenda. Vergil is a man driven by the pursuit of power, the desire to rule the demon world as he feels is his birthright. To that end, he will destroy anyone and anything standing in his way.
Abilities and Resources:
Both the sons of Sparda wield immense power. Vergil has superhuman physical prowess, from speed and reflexes to strength and durability. Being impaled by many blades at once does little to slow him down, and Vergil can swing his sword fast enough to parry or cut bullets. He heals at an incredible rate, allowing him to fully recover from wounds that would slay mortals in only seconds. Vergil also has Olympic-level agility and martial arts skill. To add to his mobility, he can teleport over short distances, vanishing in blurry spatial distortions and reappearing elsewhere.

In battle he wields a variety of weapons, but by far his favored weapon is Yamato, an heirloom from his father. Yamato is a super-sharp enchanted katana that is said to be able to cut through anything... And Vergil can certainly back up that statement. Yamato's sword strokes extend even beyond the reach of the blade, and Vergil can even cut through the fabric of dimensions with it, creating a warping field of cutting blade energy at range. Vergil also wields the enchanted set of bladed gauntlets and grieves called Beowulf, taken from the corpse of a demon of the same name, which enhance his martial arts ability. As he detests guns, Vergil makes ranged attacks with Yamato or by his Summoned Swords, literally phantom swords of blue energy that appear before plunging into a foe.

Finally, like his brother, Vergil can "Devil Trigger", transforming into a demonic form for a brief period of time. While transformed, all his abilities are enhanced to even greater degrees, giving the superhuman Vergil godlike power. Few enemies can stand up to him in his Devil Trigger state.
