Virgil is a quest-exclusive NPC that appears in the World Quest Aqueous Tidemarks.
Profile[]
Virgil was a member of an unspecified organization in Fontaine, which is later revealed to be the same organization as Sonny, the Spina di Rosula.
After the Traveler and Paimon arrived in Fontaine and walked around the Palais Mermonia, they ran upon Virgil, who asked them to assist him in uncovering the Liliacruces Forum, which was said to hold treasure. Virgil and his subordinates had tried to access the Forum before but were unsuccessful in their task, and convinced the Traveler to help despite his occasional speech mishaps which showed signs of extreme disdain. Upon reaching the area however, he discovered that he was mislead, as the place was actually the Institute of Natural Philosophy, which was used by the Narzissenkreuz Institute. He believed that he could use the institute against Sonny but decided to eliminate the Traveler and Paimon first as to prevent potential witnesses.
Once they reached the end of the institute, Virgil trapped them in a room with a special self-regenerating Ruin Grader, intending to loot their wealth after the automaton dealt with them, leaving them to their apparent doom. The Traveler and Paimon managed to escape by flooding the laboratory with water.
Returning to Palais Mermonia, the Traveler and Paimon then came upon Sonny and Luca, who were likewise looking for Virgil to settle a score with him. Sonny and Luca were relieved to learn that they were not Virgil's friends and pinpointed his hideout to a hidden base underneath the Elton Trench, where he was supposed to meet up with several Treasure Hoarders over a shipment of Sinthe. Upon beating up the Treasure Hoarders, Virgil arrived to the scene and was promptly beaten by the trio. Sonny and Luca were particularly unhappy with Virgil's conduct, especially the Sinthe dealing. Virgil attempted to make excuses but was promptly silenced by Sonny, who called him a worthless dross and that he would need a serious talk with whoever trained him, though telling Virgil that he did not have to worry about it.
After World Quest A Fontainian Message, the Traveler can find Sonny and Luca next to the Consigliere in Fleuve Cendre. If the Traveler asks about Virgil, Sonny gracefully changes the subject and inquires about the Traveler's interest in "fishing," offering them four pieces of fish, implying that they killed Virgil.
Appearance[]
Upon first encountering him, he wears a set of overalls with dark gloves and high boots. He has blonde hair, a maroon shirt, and a black belt. During the quest Aqueous Tidemarks, he styles a turquoise diving suit with a large helmet.

Trivia[]
- Virgil as a guide into Hell in Dante's Divine Comedy is perhaps paralleled here with Virgil taking the Traveler into the Institute with a dark history.
- The two assassins involved in dealing with Virgil are likely references to the characters Sonny Corleone and Luca Brasi from the epic crime film The Godfather. Virgil himself is likely a reference to Virgil "The Turk" Sollozzo.
- The act of Sonny giving fish to the Traveler is a reference to the scene of Luca Brasi's death in the film, where a dead fish is used as a symbol. In a similar vein, after receiving the dead fish, the protagonist and their companions also learn about Virgil's demise.
- In the film, Virgil Sollozzo is a heroin kingpin, paralleling Virgil's Sinthe business.
- In the stronghold where the Traveler defeats Virgil, the presence of Bulle Fruits on the table is likely a homage to the symbolic oranges in the film, which foreshadow death and tragedy.[1]
