Vergil (バージル Bājiru) is a fictional character from the Devil May Cry series created and published by Capcom. He was first introduced in the first Devil May Cry as a boss called Nelo Angelo (ネロアンジェロ Nero Anjero). Vergil is one of the two hybrid sons from the famous demon knight Sparda and, as a result, possesses supernatural powers. He has appeared in two video games as an enemy opposing his twin brother Dante, as well as in a novelization and a manga of the series. As many characters in the series were named after those of the Italian poem Divine Comedy, Vergil was named after Virgil.
