Luis Virgil

Luis Virgil is a guest character in the Xenosaga series.

Episode I
Virgil is an accomplished A.G.W.S. pilot and holds the rank of First Lieutenant in the Galaxy Federation Marine Corps. He was stationed aboard the Woglinde. When Shion visits with Caspase and the Realians he is worked on, Virgil enters the room, proclaiming that he can't stand the stench of the Realians. He and Shion get in a debate about the rights of Realians. Shion supports the basic human rights of Realians, but Virgil points out that the company she works for, Vector, classifies them as merchandise and has installed an emergency override code to enable them to be controlled. After he leaves Shion wonders if he is a DME addict, someone addicted to the consumption of Realian tissue, and Caspase apologizes for his behavior, saying he wasn't always like this.

When the gnosis attack the Woglinde, Virgil takes part in defending the ship against them piloting his A.G.W.S. Shion runs right into the line of fire of Virgil and his allies and is nearly killed by them. Virgil yells at her afterwards, questioning what a civilian is still doing on the ship. Realizing that they can't harm the gnosis, Virgil grabs a device from Shion and uses it to control the Realians such that they can grab onto the gnosis and self-destruct. Shion claims this is a violation of their rights, but he points out that even Shion herself who had the ability to remove such capabilities from the Relians hasn't done so due to protocol. Virgil's gambit fails however; while he self-destructs a number of Realians they fail to stop the gnosis. With the arrival of KOS-MOS, Virgil joins with her, Shion and Allen, fleeing on foot while they try to fight off the gnosis, now made more vulnerable by KOS-MOS' activation of the Hilbert Effect. When Virgil stands in between her and some gnosis, KOS-MOS shoots and kills him, using the logic that there would be a large drop in her offensive efficacy if she was to try and avoid him. Despite her quarrels with him, Shion is horrified by the fact that KOS-MOS has killed him. As he dies, Virgil has a vision of Febronia.

Virgil shows up far later in the game at the Song of Nephilim, now hooded and masked as the Blue Testament. He tells Albedo to stop screwing around and get the job done, and stays there to hold up Junior and the others, transforming into the gnosis Ein Rugel and Doppelwogel. After the battles he claims it is useless to fight any further and that the laws they are governed by are too different. With Albedo safely away he departs. Virgil's final appearance in the game occurs after the appearance of Proto Merkabah. He appears standing out in space atop his E.S., Naphtali, complaining to the Red Testament about how he doesn't take orders from him and to stop talking in his head. The Red Testament tells him he'll have to get used to it.
