Vergil (DMC Reboot)

“	Don't be so simplistic. Humans are frail. They are like children. They need protection. Not just from others, but from themselves! If you can't see the chaos the humans will cause, if you don't want the responsibility of protecting them, then stand aside. I will rule alone.	„
	~ Vergil, trying to explain his motivation to his brother Dante

Summary

Dante's twin brother. While Dante was admitted to an orphanage run by demons as a child, Vergil was adopted into a rich family. Highly-gifted, Vergil wrote a security encryption program that made him a multi-millionaire before he was even out of school.

However, Vergil eventually recovered the memories of his biological parents' death and exile at the hands of Mundus and swore to take revenge. He used his wealth to research and combat demons through his organization The Order, attempting to disrupt Mundus' control over the populace.

Upon encountering his long lost twin brother Dante, the two work together and eventually succeed in killing Mundus and revealing the truth to the populace. It is then that Vergil reveals his real motive for defeating Mundus: to rule over humanity for their own good. Dante disagrees with this, and the two brothers clash, during which Vergil is severely wounded.

Vergil succumbs to his wounds and finds himself in Hell, where he is tormented by hollow versions of Dante and Kat, and under the influence of his Hollow self, gives in to his hatred and grows a lust for power.

Notable Attacks/Techniques

• Yamato: A sword bequeathed unto Vergil by Sparda, it is a physical manifestation of Vergil's power. It is capable of dimensional cutting. Vergil is capable of channeling his demonic and angelic energy through the Yamato, achieving much the same effect as Rebellion's transformations into different weapons.

• Devil Trigger: Vergil's Devil Trigger ability is very different from Dante's. Instead of being akin to DMC3 Dante's "Quicksilver" Style, it is more akin to his "Doppelganger" power, where he summons a second of himself to fight alongside him. However, his double is capable of moving upon its own will, fighting alongside its master effectively as a second combatant, rather than being a synchronous double. This double is also shown to defend its master with great aggression, defending against every of Dante's attacks before he could use his own Devil Trigger to send it skyward. This power retains the health regeneration ability that Devil Trigger traditionally have.

• Perfect Slash: Vergil knocks an enemy back, and unleashes several slashes upon the foe before one can even blink.

• Volcano: Using the Demonic Yamato, Vergil can stab the field and send all enemies on the same plane of ground skyward.

• Angel Rush: By channeling angelic energy through the Yamato, Vergil can rush forth and slice several times in one dash.

• Summoned Swords: These summoned swords are Vergil's answer to Dante's Ebony and Ivory. He is capable of summoning and manipulating these blades in several ways without any bodily input; that is, he can use these and keep up his standard attack style at the same time. These swords can also be embedded in enemies, allowing Vergil to teleport to the enemy, or teleport the enemy to them.

• "Spiral Swords": Vergil can summon up to six swords (depending on the level) that will spiral around him until broken by hitting an enemy. While these swords spiral around him, they will hit and damage any enemy that gets close to him.
• "Blistering Swords": Vergil summons a total of six swords around him and they all fire in succession toward his currently targeted enemy.
• "Storm Swords": Vergil gathers a circular set of swords around his targeted foe then makes them all stab that enemy at once. Smaller enemies that live through this attack will fly up into the air.
• "Great Sword": Vergil summons a giant energy blade as if falling from the sky at high speed. At the same time can cause about a dozen such, and possibly more.

• Tricks: A type of flash step that allows Vergil to keep up with foes whether launching them skyward or thrusting them back to the ground. He can defy gravity temporarily with this skill.

• Angel Boost: Like Dante's, Vergil can manipulate his trajectory through the air using his angelic powers.
