Back in 2020, I made two videos back to back about Devil May Cry's dual main characters, Dante and Nero. More DMC videos were planned, but they fell by the wayside, along with basically this whole YouTube channel.

Randomly, about a month or two ago, those videos blew up again! Excitedly I thought there’d been a new Devil Cry announcement but I guess it was just luck of the draw! Regardless, that’s A pretty good motivator and one hell (excuse the pun) of a reason to jump right back on the Devil May Cry design train. Cheers for helping kick my ass into gear.

Vergil is obviously the guy who needs profiling next as he’s one of Devil May Cry's most popular characters and iconic villains. He’s synonymous with lead character Dantes back story and has had a deep range of appearances across the series too.

Like Dante, Vergil's origin also spurs from Italian poet, writer & philosopher Dante Alighieri's narrative poem The Divine Comedy. Here Virgil (with an i), no, no, no, no, not that Virgil, acted as a guide to protagonist Dante displaying all of the noble virtues attributed to the perfect Roman, as they descended into the inferno of hell. This is quite the opposite to Devil May Cry’s character, who is as antagonistic as they come. The antithesis to his brother Dante, Vergil is quiet, calculating and power crazed. Keen to embrace his demonic nature if it means reaching his full potential, a sharp contrast to Dante's willingness to put his feet up and tuck into a Pizza.

Vergil’s design isn’t dissimilar from Dantes, though it still incorporates elements that are intended to set the brothers apart and show off their opposing character traits and world views. The similarities? They both have pale skin, silver hair, blue eyes and slim physiques, but their aesthetic differences come in the form of elements that the characters can control: their fashion sense.Vergil doesn’t let his hair flow loose like his carefree brother, he slicks it back to maintain his calculating look. As well as that he oftens opts for a classier fit; his trademark blue collared jacket is littered with intrinsic details, such as golden lining, silver and gold buttons and strapped shoulders, a stark contrast to Dante's much simpler red leathers. Some of the features of his jacket, such as the cuffs are so recognisable, that YouTuber Maximillian Dood, was able to accurately predict the characters inclusion in Devil May Cry 5 from a split second of footage when that game was revealed at E3 2018. Hell of an eye by Max.

Serpentine elements are also present throughout Vergil's ensemble, whether its a snakeskin texture or a snake's head hanging over his coat's left shoulder. The character is clearly portraying himself as an Apex Predator.

Despite this notable character design that lives on to this day, Vergil didn’t always start off like this, today we’ll explore how appearance has changed throughout the Devil May Cry series and decide on the one that I think ranks above the rest.
