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 in V Corp.

Currently, Vergilius is employed as the guide of Limbus Company and dedicated to his role as caretaker of Charon, rarely showing his true strength as a Color.

Appearance

Vergilius is a man of thin build and exceptionally pale, nearly gray skin. He has a visible scar across his face that goes from above his left eyebrow down to his right cheek, and his hands appear quite scarred as well. He has short, straight gray hair with a slight part in the middle. Vergilius has red eyes which glow when angered, from which he takes his Color Fixer name.

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. Vergilius also sports an earring on his right ear.

Though not visible, Vergilius' body has received some augmentations, with his legs being enhanced with synthetic muscle fibers. Vergilius' weapon of choice is an orange gladius, which can be heated at will.

Vergilius has manifested E.G.O, which takes the form of a red leather pauldron over his right shoulder, from which flows a cape of blood that reaches down to the ground, as well as a green laurel crown, spiked with blood-red thorns, causing blood to drip over Vergilius' face. When activating his E.G.O, his gladius also changes, turning bright red and appearing drenched in blood.

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 keeps his distance from them, and has no qualms with threatening Sinners with extreme violence or using it to discipline them.

Despite his cold behavior towards the Sinners, Vergilius seems to push people away and put up a cruel and uncaring front, in order to avoid getting closer to his colleagues again, as in Vergilius' past, this has happened before quite recently, with him losing his office and the orphanage kids he cared for at the hands of the Ring. 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.

Vergilius appears ambivalent to his title of 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, and is shown to carry heavy guilt regarding his past and profession, which has often led him to destroy entire families. This is also part of the reason why he decided to care for orphan children.

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 the major reason behind his strict non-interference in the Sinners' operations), likely as the scene reminded him of the similar events that had led to the death of his Office members, as of Leviathan.

Background

After the events of Leviathan, Vergilius and Charon came into the employment of Limbus Company. As a guide, Vergilius directs the Sinners to their destination and will not get directly involved with the mission, and he will not fight unless Dante is in imminent danger. 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 carries a folded group picture of him and the orphans in the pocket of his old jacket. He is shown gazing into it in the ending credits of Canto VI: The Heartbreaking.
