Vergil

"Might controls everything, and without strength you cannot protect anything, let alone yourself."

- Vergil to Dante

Vergil is the twin brother of Dante and an antagonist from the Devil May Cry series''. He appeared in the 87th episode and Season 4 finale of DEATH BATTLE!, Sephiroth VS Vergil, where he faced off against Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII''. He was voiced by Marc Soskin.

History
The eldest twin son of the Legendary Dark Knight, Sparda and his human wife, Eva, both his life and his younger brother, Dante's were forever changed when they watched helplessly as demons killed their mother. Believing himself responsible for not being able to protect her, Vergil sought absolute power by any means necessary, going so far as to cast aside his humanity and embrace his demonic heritage.
