Virgil

Virgil grew up in comfortable wealth, extremely spoiled by his parents materially, but also emotionally neglected. A lot of his issues stem from his childhood - he became rather entitled, and any preexisting troubles he had were allowed to fester in his solitude. Virgil doesn't "get" love, and often equates it with a combination of possession and emotional neglect.

From his youth into young adulthood, Virgil was a liar, a creep, and generally unpleasant to be around. Seen as an outcast and a nerd for almost his entire childhood, Virgil was excluded, but never properly helped or humbled. He attempted to pursue songwriting in college, but after a series of unfortunate events involving a girl he had a crush on, became too humiliated to continue down that path. This led to him switching to the business side of things, although a part of him still really longs to be on stage.

Aided by his intelligence as well as his family's wealth giving him a head start in his career, Virgil has become an incredibly powerful music mogul, considered a titan of the industry. Despite having a record label and several popular bands under his belt, however, he still craves more.

Virgil's hunger will never truly be satiated until the world that he believes scorned him belongs to him. His most successful band, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, is about to go on their world tour, and he has them wrapped around his finger, ready to use their influence to his own benefit at a moment's notice.

Brody caught Virgil's eye immediately, and his attention quickly evolved into obsession. After signing Brody's band to his label, the two began a dubious "friends-with-benefits" relationship that would last for a few years. Virgil absolutely hates Brody - he finds his gullibility pathetic, and thinks of him as your average "mean jock" type, so he uses intimacy to manipulate Brody and make him miserable. What they have isn't healthy at all, and Virgil relishes in withdrawing his affections frequently to make Brody suffer. Part of Virgil might find Brody cute, at most, but he has no real love for the man at all. Regardless, Brody is his favorite member of the band - Virgil does really admire his talent, and longs for the man to let him play on stage with the Horsemen one day.

Out of Virgil's clients, Vivian is the one he has the most genuine affection towards, although it's not exactly romantic. They've tried that a few times, and hated it - it's something else that draws him to her. She was really underground when he first found her, and he changed her life by bringing her to the band. Vivian knows Virgil is the worst, but he is a bit of a shoulder for her to cry on, even if they fight and make up over and over again. They're both pretty reckless, unhinged people, and like attracts like, for better or for worse.
