Virgil
Virgil is the son of Joxer and Meg. He is first encountered in "Livia"
when Gabrielle and Xena are introduced to him. He accompanies them to Rome but
gets thrown into prison as an Eli worshipper. After Xena fights Livia in the
arena and beats her, Virgil and the others are set free. Virgil then accompanies
Xena, Gabrielle and Joxer in pursuit of Livia.
In "Eve", Joxer sends Virgil to fetch Xena when Gabrielle is captured
by Livia. Joxer goes after Livia himself and dies protecting Gabrielle. Virgil
swears revenge for his father's murder and goes after Livia, along with Xena and
Gabrielle. However, he is not given the opportunity to kill her.
In "Motherhood", Eve visits Virgil to ask for his forgiveness. Virgil
still wants to kill her but Xena stops him. Virgil then leaves for Athens to be
with his mother, Meg.
The next time we encounter Virgil is in the episode "Heart Of
Darkness". Gabrielle comes across a man being kicked and beaten to the
ground by Virgil. Along with everyone else, he is being affected by the darkness
around him. At Xena's party, Virgil and Gabrielle end up kissing passionately,
seemingly unconcerned about what anyone might think. However, once the darkness
has been vanquished, both Virgil and Gabrielle are embarrassed about their
behaviour.
Virgil appears again in the episode "Who's Gurkhan?". He reluctantly
poses as a slave trader in the slave markets and sells Xena to Gurkhan. When
Gabrielle finds out, she is furious and insists that Virgil take her to
Gurkhan's palace, offering her as a gift. Although clearly uncomfortable about
this, Virgil does as he is asked. He then goes back to the ship to await Xena
and Gabrielle's return.
In "The Abyss", Virgil and his friend, Hosep are seen running away
from a group of cannibals. Virgil escapes from them initially but is captured by
them after following them to their camp. He is placed in a hut with another
prisoner, Rubio and learns his fate. When Gabrielle is also captured, Virgil
offers himself in her place but is ignored. Luckily, Xena arrives to rescue
Gabrielle and Virgil and Rubio make their escape. Virgil and Gabrielle hide in
the woods and prepare to cut the vines that will flood the canyon below. By
doing this, all the cannibals are wiped out and the party can relax for a while.
This is the last we saw of Virgil, so we may never know what became of him.
