Vergil is an amnesiac who appeared seemingly out of the blue on the continent of Eorzea. He has no recollection of his past and cannot remember his origins or any other detail of his early life. All he knows about himself is through sensations familiar to him, or through muscle memory; as his body knows what his mind does not. His experiences were coalesed into a 'soul crystal' but despite his best efforts to understand it, in his hands it was not much more than a rock- meaning that his answers would forever be at his fingertips but always out of his reach. Once, he was torn by the idea that there is an aspect of himself he will never come to know, but nowadays he takes more satisfaction in just learning about the world surrounding him than unravelling his own secrets. While previously he travelled all over in hopes of finding hints of his past, he now chases after the joy of experiencing the world for the first time. He occasionally has vivid dreams that he cannot make sense of, followed by bouts of insomnia.
Despite all his setbacks, Vergil works diligently to learn about the world and travels far and wide to broaden his studies. Has a great talent for detecting the weather and uses this to always plan accordingly. He is a natural scholarly type, who speaks in an old-fashioned sort of way. He feels restless if he is not doing something and struggles to relax. There are times when he becomes so consumed with his fascinations that he works tirelessly day and night, often becoming neglectful of his own needs; and subsequently, there are periods when he falls into deep slumbers and does not rise from his bed for many days.
Approaches the world with an open mind- yet is fiercely stubborn about himself. Always sees a task through to completion. He is unphased by a challenge as he staunchly believes that pushing himself to the limit is the key to restoring his lost potential; even if working himself to the bone is ultimately counterintuitive. If it is for something he truly believes in, he will fight to the very end. Keeps a series of journals where he records his tales of adventure for his own reference. The walls of his home are lined with meticulously sorted tomes and encyclopedias; but tends to make a mess of his shelves and of his living space when consumed with a project.
Was once very self-absorbed and haughty, only concerned with doing everything in his power to cure his affliction; but this bore him no luck and he came to realise it was not a burden he could bear alone. Took on an apprentice with the sole intention of using her to decipher his soul crystal, being unable to do it himself- but in time came to terms with his inability to to make sense of his past and his tutelage became genuine.

• Vergil is not very expressive and may be described as stern or even angry by onlookers; though he is infact a very amicable person whose curiousity leads him to meet many people very different from himself.
• Very studious but almost to the point of obsession, and often to the detriment of his health. His stubbornness usually prevents him from backing down.
• Incapable of relaxing and always can be found doing something in his spare time. Would like to become more easygoing but isn't sure how to go about it.
• He has the mannerisms of someone much older than he would appear to be. Likes to play coy about his age because he doesn't actually know how old he is.
• While typically very polite and well mannered, if his temper gets the better of him he will make scathing remarks without regard for others. Tries very hard to be patient with other people and to suppress his unkind side.
• After many years spent chasing his past he would eventually cobble together an idea of his former self; only to accept his indefinable soul and the new man he becomes each day he wakes up.
