Born and raised in a business home on the colony of Canceron. Mother staying at home and father being a businessman and getting quite enough money to keep his family having a good living. Early on Virgil showed proof in his creative talents. With a mother skilled in cooking and his father always being gone on business it left young Virgil at home with his mother and learned from her every day doings. Which stuck to him the most was the cooking. Finding it quite interesting. Wanting to learn more about it all along and started at a rather young age to help out his mother with baking and doing salads and learn about food.
When he came of age and in school he liked home ed as well as several others. But that was clearly his favorite, followed by P.E. Especially as his father thought it would be good for him to learn to protect himself. Letting him start taking Kickboxing.
Even with all of this he also enjoyed making drinks. At the time that involved making smoothies and other similar things from different fruits and making drinks without alcohol. Be it warm blueberry and syrup drinks or cold banana milkshakes.
Growing up into his teens Virgil was quite the honest person, if often dealt through sarcasm. Continuing his cooking in his teens and early youth, as well as doing the kickboxing. It would still be the mixing of drinks that held dearest to him. As soon as he graduated he became a bartender. The place he worked at being rather small he would also have to help out with the cooking ever so often. Having graduated as a cook and bartender when out from school. During his free time there was mostly either learning new recipes or training. Always having a creative mind no matter what it came to so his chores never became boring as he did different creations. Even in his food, even if he was not focused on making art at the time, rather just learning to be a cook and in time a chef. He also enjoyed creating new drinks as well. Always wanting everything to be as good as possible. Perhaps one of the reasons for why he pushed himself quite hard. Having to play bouncer as well makes it even tougher, physically.
Soon enough he wold be running a pub, being in control of both kitchen and bar. At the age of twenty-nine he and a friend would have their own restaurant. With him at the bar and his friend in the kitchen. A small one on Canceron but it would be their own. Learning how to be an entrepreneur along with his culinary skills. Working hard as always and soon his place got a bigger name and his chain started with several pubs on Canceron.
As time passed Virgil's chain of pubs and even clubs showed up all over Canceron and at some point even across Colonies with other people having opened restaurants in his name and with him making sure that they lived up to standard. In his mid thirties he met his wife, got married soon enough and had two children, a boy and a girl. Trying to be there when he could though working and overlooking the chain does take up some time. He still continued his kickboxing as well, to keep in shape. Always having that eye for detail thanks to his cooking and mixing drinks and wanting everything to be perfect.
In 2003 his wife would pass on from cancer. Putting the family in a slump. Though after a time of mourning Virgil brought his children along to Picon to renovate a seafood restaurant and hopefully move on. With his friend still being his business partner. Dealing with things on some of the other colonies. As the family started to get over the loss of their mother, Virgil's wife, war day hit. The restaurant being destroyed and Virgil was found wounded under the ruins of the restaurant. His children not having made it and leaving him alone. The friend drifting somewhere out there as his last piece of family. Unless he died on Canceron. Virgil would not know one way or the other.
It would take some time but they would come to find Virgil at the restaurant. Bringing him back for treatment and sending him of to Orion to sickbay. Before finally sending him to help out down at Charlie's. Taking use of his skills with cooking and baking and making drinks. Even making bread and trying to get things going. Just learning to handle the gun better and offer quick first aid.
