Originally, '''Vergil''' was a subroutine built into the larger [[Superintendent (Vergil)|Superintendent]] [[artificial intelligence]], created by [[Dr. Endesha]] to look after his daughter, [[Sadie Endesha]].<ref>[[Sadie's Story]]</ref> Using the endless resources of [[New Mombasa|New]] and [[Old Mombasa]], Vergil performed its tasks without fault, although Sadie found it to be a little restrictive. When the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] attacked the area, 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 defence 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, hoping that it would lure her out of hiding. Eventually reactivated, Vergil had been badly damaged and was near to total system shutdown, saved only by the efforts of a renegade Covenant [[Huragok]]. Unwilling to continue as slaves to the Covenant, [[seven]] Huragok had made an attempt at escape. Six of them were destroyed during this attempt, giving their lives so that the seventh could flee, eventually, it made its way to the core of the Superintendent, working to repair it. As it worked, the Huragok managed to merge the badly damaged Vergil with itself, essentially ''becoming'' Vergil. 

Later, the new Vergil would defect to the UNSC, allowing itself to be captured by [[Veronica Dare]] and her team of [[Unnamed Shock Trooper Squad|ODSTs]], to give the UNSC vital information on the Covenant, and their intentions for New Mombasa. Later, after the credits, Sgt. Johnson has a talk with Virgil about the information he has. Vergil agrees to share any information he has with the Sgt. <ref>''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', [[Data Hive (Level)|Data Hive]]</ref> 

==Trivia==
*In one of the final segments of ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', one of Vergil's statements is "Warning: Hitchhikers may be escaping convicts." This is a reference to the final segment of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.
*The name Vergil itself may be a reference to the Divine Comedy, specifically the name of the poet that guides fellow poet Dante through the nine circles of hell and purgatory, much in the same way the Rookie is guided through a metaphorical hell-on-earth, a destroyed New Mombasa.
