Overview |
“ Greetings, Executive Manager. I am the man who must be a guide to your journey. You may call me, Vergilius ”
Vergilius (Hangul: 베르길리우스, Beleugilliuseu) is a Color Fixer known as the Red Gaze (붉은시선). He is a continuing character from the Project Moon web novel Leviathan posted on Posttype.
He was an independent Fixer running his own office.
Currently, Vergilius works as the guide of Limbus Company and caretaker of Charon, rarely showing his true strength as a Color.
Appearance[]
Vergilius is a man of average build with exceptionally pale skin, scarred hands and eye-length gray hair with a slight part in the middle. True to his name, Vergilius has tired, red eyes which glow when angered. Vergilius also sports an earring on his right ear.
Though not visible, Vergilius has cybernetic implants, including in his legs and synthetic muscle fibers. He wields a heated gladius as a weapon.
Vergilius wears a loosely-buttoned dress shirt, a striped jacket with a badge on the left lapel, slacks and dress shoes. All his clothing are black or shades of gray.
Personality[]
Vergilius is a jaded and straightforward individual with a sharp tongue. He is emotionally detached from most of the group, viewing them as a group of unruly children he has to watch over. He has no qualms with threatening Sinners with extreme violence or using it to discipline them and rarely shows emotion.
Despite typically acting in a cold way, Vergilius cared very deeply for those he lost (the orphans he previously looked over and members of his office). He pushes people away and puts up a cruel and uncaring front, purposefully inciting distaste for him. It's possible that this is both because he's lost everyone close to him and his belief that he doesn't deserve to be treated kindly. Even so, he has a soft spot for Charon, and he seemingly considers Dante as some sort of confidant, even if he has no outer regard for Dante's struggles. While he will let the sinners suffer, he does not want to lose any more colleagues and will take action to save their lives if he absolutely needs to, as well as only using physical punishment against them as a last resort.
It's likely that he doesn't engage in combat unless necessary due to the heavy guilt he carries from ruthlessly slaughtering several people and subsequently orphaning their children in the past. This is also part of the reason why he decided to care for orphan children. His guilt manifests in severe self-hatred, believing that he deserves the hatred of others and all misfortunes that may happen to him, seeing it as his punishment. He also doesn't seem to care about and potentially loathes his title as a Color Fixer, constantly emphasizing his role within the company as nothing but a simple guide and pushing off Don Quixote and Hopkins' idolization of him.
Despite this, in Main Story Encounter 6-41, Vergilius appeared briefly as a non-controllable ally unit when a seemingly never-ending horde of enemies from The Wild Hunt emerged from an underground laboratory operated by ex-Ring researchers, forfeiting several clauses of his contract with Limbus Company in the process (which was one of the major reasons behind his strict non-interference in the Sinners' operations), likely as the scene reminds him of similar events from Leviathan.
Background[]
After the events of Leviathan, Vergilius and Charon came into the employment of Limbus Company. As a guide, he directs the Sinners to their destination and will not directly fight enemies unless Dante is in imminent danger, though this is not always possible (e.g within a Lobotomy Corp. Branch facility without communication). On occasion, he will enact disciplinary measures on Sinners, be it verbal or physical, to ensure the mission will not be further hampered by their behavior.
Trivia[]
- Vergilius is based on Virgil from Dante Alighieri's poem, the Divine Comedy, who in turn was based on the real life Roman poet Virgil, who lived in the Augustan Period around 19B.C.
- Vergilius was forced to dress up as Santa Claus by his team before the events of Leviathan, and it is the only instance of Vergilius smiling in the novel.
- Vergilius is ambidextrous, shown wielding the gladius in both hands interchangeably in Leviathan.
- Vergilius owns a pair of rectangular glasses, which he dons in Book 7 of Leviathan as part of a disguise of sorts.
- Vergilius always carried a folded group picture of him and the orphans in the pocket of his old jacket.
