Summary
This profile contains spoilers for the game Devil May Cry 5. Proceed with caution.
Vergil was one of the twin sons born from the demon Sparda and human Eva and is the main antagonist of Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening and a playable character in its special edition. Following the death of their mother as children, Vergil and Dante go their separate ways, with Vergil rejecting his humanness and embracing his demonic heritage, contrasting his younger brother's embrace of humanity and initial rejection of the devil. Stoic and reserved, Vergil displays a willingness to do anything in his quest to obtain the power of his father, Sparda.
In an unknown conclusion to a confrontation with Mundus in the secret ending to Devil May Cry 3, he is corrupted. He becomes the Dark Angel encountered in Devil May Cry, known as Nelo Angelo (also alternatively spelled Nero Angelo). After numerous conflicts throughout the game, he is finally defeated by Dante.
He later makes a playable appearance in Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition, where he is featured in his campaign detailing his actions in the city of Fortuna decades before the events of 4, and shortly before 3.

| It is revealed in Devil May Cry 5, years after his last encounter with Dante as Nelo Angelo, Vergil had survived and is now free from Mundus control, but is very weakened as a result. As the hooded figure who took the Yamato, ripping the Devil Bringer from his son Nero in the process, Vergil is the final antagonist of the game after both the newcomer V and Urizen merge back together as himself, both revealed to be his human and demon halves. |

Devil Trigger is a state at which Vergil utilizes the demonic portion of his bloodline to transform into a demonic state. Activated at some point in his life before his reunion with Dante, Vergil has had time to master his Devil Trigger state to the point of retaining most of his appearance even when changing into it along with a Devil Arm.
Much like his brother, not only can Vergil instantly activate Devil Trigger, he can also charge up demonic energy and release it to simultaneously damage enemies and transform. This is called Devil Trigger Explosion.
All Devil Trigger forms give Vergil increased attack, defense, speed, healing and passive Fear Manipulation.
Base Devil Trigger: Vergil's natural Devil Trigger he gained sometime before his reunion with Dante. This Devil Trigger is the most basic of the Devil Trigger forms and can be accessed at anytime Vergil wishes without the need of a Devil Arm. It gives Vergil a balanced boost to all stats.
- Sin Devil Trigger: The Strongest Devil Form that Vergil has access. Gained after his human and demon selves reunited together into one. This granted him the Sin Devil Trigger, a powerful form that awakens his true inner demonic heritage. As with before, it gives Vergil a dramatic increase in attack, range, defense, speed and regeneration. Additionally, he also gains the ability to fly like Dante's own Sin Devil Trigger and even the ability to create an energy construct of himself that can replicate all of his moves as well as act independently when attacking his enemies.
Summoned Swords: As said before, Vergil can summon spectral blades that resemble the form of the Force Edge. Through this, Vergil has numerous ways in which he uses his summoned blades for, whether it is for attacking his enemies from a distance, surrounding them with it or from atop, or have the blades move around himself for both defense and to attack enemies that get too close to him.
Judgement Cut: A signature move Vergil performs with his Yamato. By using the space-cutting properties of the sword, Vergil can simply attack his enemies from a distance by cutting through the air where it sends a dark purple like distortion that is then covered in slashes, cutting anyone caught in it to shreds. Vergil can also send multiple Judgement Cuts in rapid succession, allowing him to catch his target off guard and overwhelm them.
- Judgement Cut End: A more powerful variation of Judgement Cut, where Vergil readies up his sword and then moves forward at such speeds to leave after-images behind. Such a move allows him to cover the area in his slashes, allowing him to take out large numbers of enemies in one full sweep.
