Heard a lot of reasons. Two that come to mind?
Spoiler alert, of course.

1. Vergil is the 'complete form' of Urizen, a godlike being (alpha) and V, a weak, sickly human (omega).
2. Vergil is both the first major villain, and last major villain in the DMC series up to 5. He is, then, the 'beginning and the end'; the Alpha and the Omega.

Vergil wasn't the major villain in any DMC game, and he wasn't even the first boss.

Publius Vergilius Maro (Virgil or Vergil) - an ancient Roman poet and character in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy.
In the poem, Virgil is Dante's guide on his journey through the 9 circles of Hell.

DMC 5's narrative is built around the mythology of William Blake (The Book of Urizen, etc.).
It tells about the eternal struggle of opposites, such as emotionality and rationality, creativity and passivity, freedom and alienation, loneliness.

I think it's like the first guy pointed out. It's because of his duality. One side is demon wanting power and dominance (alpha), and the other is a weak human (omega)

DMC 5 begins with a quote from "A Poison Tree".
V also quotes poems such as: "When early morn walks forth in sober gray", "Infant Joy",
"Love and Harmony", etc..

It's very superficial, my friend, but it's on you.

I see it as he is the start and the end to Dante's story.

You think the majority people who bought this know about poetry? :elrath:

Alpha and omega, the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. It's a phrase from the Greek translation of the bible. Basically it means "everything and the kitchen sink".
Vergil is the beginning and the end of Dante's character arc. He is instrumental to the overarching "sons of Sparda" plotline that weaves throughout the series.

Also it sounds really badass

Two halfs. One whole.

V is one side of the story. Omega.

Urizen is the other half of the story. Alpha.

Virgil is both. In embracing his weakness he gains strength. In gaining strength he embraces weakness.

The only person other then myself that's that capable is Darth Vader. You just can't someone that's set their mind to a goal and getting it done with control. Not unless you pull a Luke or Nero and give them a reason to care.

I believe the thread already received an answer, and you're just repeating.

Darth Vader is a fictional character by the way. In case you didn't know.
