They are a blue Tiefling from the Ten Hells and a former Orator of the court of Glasya.
Physical Appearance[edit | edit source]
Virgil is a sapphire blue Tiefling with pointed ears and short blue horns. They wear a travelers cloak over the cloths of an infernal courtier and have a tattoo of a fanged moth below their right ear.
Personality[edit | edit source]
When Virgil was an Orator in the court of Glasya, they were very confident and sure of themselves. But after they were expelled from her court, he became a lot more self conscious and worrisome. But traveling with the Hellraisers as their guide has restored much of his former confidence. He is a strong public speaker and is able to magically inspire others with his words.
He is very knowledgeable about many aspects of the Hells, which puts off some people who assume he is just some annoying know it all. In truth most of this knowledge comes from the Orator network.
History[edit | edit source]
Virgil was raised in the Ten Hells and groomed to become an Orator in the court of the archdevil Glasya in Nessus. For many years Virgil served as one of Glasya's ambassadors across the Hells and even into the elemental planes. But during a high end soul trade organized by Virgil with a Horned Devil on the fourth layer of the Hells, Phlegethos, the Horned Devil went back on its deal and attempted to betray Glasya, an incident that lost Glasya some valuable resources. She placed the blame on Virgil for the deal's failure and expelled him from her court.
Dejected and unable to find work elsewhere in the Hells, Virgil traveled to the Cerulean City in hopes of finding new prospects, only to find themselves in the dumps at at the bottom of a bottle. Virgil would be found by the adventuring party the Hellraisers, including Aivan Factorovich, Aliria Servine, Nyrgoth, Sylphine Nightfall, Balaam, and Endine di Valpadana, who would hire him to serve as their guide through the Ten Hells.
As they traveled through the Hells, Virgil would commonly give the party pertinent info about the Hells and would aid them in battle with his bardic magic. He would aid then in combating the Cult of the Shattered Mountain, confronting his former employer Glasya, and even join them in the final battle against Othea.
After the defeat of Othea and the destruction of the Ruby Rod, Virgil would stay in the Hells to help Nyr rebuild Dis. But after a few years, he realized his future did not lie in the Hells and so traveled to the Material Plane, eventually settling in the city of Jewelspar. Here he would engage with the local Tiefling community and become a professor at the bardic college Laergul University, where he would share the story of the Hellraisers.
