'''Vergil''' was a subroutine built into the larger [[Superintendent]] [[artificial intelligence]] construct of New Mombasa. It later merged with [[Quick to Adjust]],<ref>[https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2997288_Is-there-an-actual-name-for-Vergil.aspx#post2997288 '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Is there an actual name for Vergil?'']</ref> a renegade [[Covenant]] [[Huragok]] who would subsequently be known as "Vergil" among many humans.<ref name="hnb">'''Halo: New Blood''', ''pages 8-9'' (Google Play edition)</ref>

When the [[Covenant]] [[Battle of Earth|invasion of Earth]] and the [[Battle of Mombasa|attack on Mombasa]] took place, Vergil was instrumental in Sadie's escape from harm in her struggle to reach her trapped father, commandeering numerous vehicles to assist her, as well as the defense of the city by [[Colonial Militia|local militia]], [[New Mombasa Police Department|police]], and [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]].

In his attempts to find Sadie, Commissioner [[Kinsler]] shut down the Superintendent, in order to prevent it from helping her. Eventually reactivated, Vergil had been badly damaged and was near to total system shutdown, saved only by the efforts of [[Quick to Adjust]], a defected [[Covenant]] [[Huragok]]. Unwilling to continue as slaves to the Covenant, [[seven]] [[Huragok]] had made an attempt to free one of them. Six of them were destroyed during this attempt by giving their lives so that the seventh could flee. Eventually, it made its way to [[New Mombasa Data Center|the core]] of the Superintendent, working to repair it. As it worked, Quick began to merge the badly damaged Vergil with itself, a process that was complete just as it was discovered by [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Veronica Dare]] and the [[Rookie]]. Early in this process, Vergil, now stored within Quick, helped to free Sadie from Kinsler by opening the doors of his private train and letting the mob of refugees rip Kinsler apart.

Later, Quick to Adjust allowed itself to be captured by [[Veronica Dare]] and [[Alpha-Nine|her team]] of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]], to provide the UNSC vital information on the Covenant, and their intentions for New Mombasa.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[Data Hive]]''</ref> A month later, [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Johnson]] had a talk with the Huragok, who was in the process of accessing the [[Covenant Battle Network|Covenant battlenet]], about the information it had. Quick agreed to share any information it has with the Sergeant and lit his [[cigar]] as a friendly gesture.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[Coastal Highway]]''</ref> Although the Huragok was interrogated by ONI on information relating to the [[Portal at Voi]], they were unable to obtain any actionable intelligence before the [[Prophet of Truth]] arrived in his [[Forerunner Dreadnought]].<ref name="Bulletin">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/the-halo-bulletin-knowledge-drop '''Halo Waypoint''': ''The Halo Bulletin: 9.24.14'']</ref>

The Vergil-Quick to Adjust amalgam entity continued to serve the Office of Naval Intelligence in the post-Covenant War era. Because of Vergil's incorporation into the Huragok it continued to maintain a unique bond with Sadie Endesha, who was assigned as its handler as a result.<ref name="hnb"/>
