Vergei (ウェルゲー, Werugē) is the Captain of Queen Sevanti's Royal Guard as well as the Captain of the Guards of Prince Marayam.

Appearance

Vergei has well-groomed short, dark hair, a tall forehead and an angular face with very prominent cheekbones that give him a somewhat gaunt appearance. As a bodyguard, he wears a black suit and a tie.

Personality

Vergei lashes out on Kurapika

Kurapika described Vergei as a stubborn man who trusts no one but himself. He was irritated by Kurapika's manner of speaking due to him working for a lower-ranked queen and answered back rudely, although not in a vulgar way. He snapped at the Hunter and even pretended to trust him for a while, before revealing he believes the Hunter Association to intend to destroy Kakin from within.

Vergei later seemed to have mellowed out and showed a soft and more trusting side after being captivated by Biscuit.

Plot

Succession Contest arc

Queen Sevanti transfers Vergei and the other Hunters to Prince Marayam

On the first day of the voyage, 7^th Queen Sevanti has most of 12^th Prince Momoze's guard assigned to the escort of her brother 13^th Prince Marayam. Vergei brings up the fact that their contract is with Momoze, but complies after Momoze herself tells them not to worry about her.

Later that day, when 8^th Queen Oito uses a cockroach controlled by Little Eye to spy on Room 1013 and identify Marayam's manpower from the airducts, Vergei is seen standing over Sevanti and Marayam as Marayam plays with toys. Oito later navigates to Room 1012's master bedroom, where she witnesses Momoze being strangled by an unidentified guard.

At night, Marayam is contacted by Room 1014 about their offer to teach Nen to two of Marayam 's men over two weeks. Rather than Vergei, Sevanti decides to send Barrigen to attend Kurapika's two-week teaching of Nen, which pleases Barrigen. Barrigen would be murdered by Silent Majority the next morning, shortly after the first lesson begins.

The next afternoon, Vergei introduces himself as Sevanti's Captain of the Guards and contacts Room 1014 in search for information on Momoze's killer. Since Momoze's six remaining guards were affiliated to the six higher queens, Vergei contacts Kurapika to try and make progress in his investigation, offering to send Kurapika the Hunters previously assigned to guard Momoze in return. Kurapika attempts to convince Vergei the room he is in has been isolated due to a Nen ability, but the bodyguard ignores him and requests that he investigate about the identity of Momoze's killer. When Kurapika reveals he already knows who the culprit is, Vergei initially pretends to be accommodating, accepting to open the door to a Hunter Association member in exchange for the information, but then asserts that he is not convinced by the rumors spreading about Nen, which seems too convenient for the Hunters. Still hoping to form an alliance, Kurapika tells him that the killer was Tuffdy and how he carried out the murder. Vergei states that Kurapika's explanation has only strengthened his belief that the Hunter Association intends to weaken Kakin from the inside and hangs up.

Vergei asks Biscuit to teach him Nen

The morning of the third day, Biscuit and Hanzo hear Vergei announce that there is no longer a need to send Belerainte for Kurapika's Nen lessons, as he finds it a risk after Barrigen died under strange circumstances. Instead, Biscuit proposes to teach everyone Nen through her own way, though Vergei keeps insisting that Nen is only a magic trick. Biscuit reverts back to her real form, which shocks Vergei; not because of Biscuit's manly form, but because of her beauty. He admires Biscuit's muscles while she explains that she can enhance everyone's physical capabilities within a month. When she asks whom to teach, Vergei enthusiastically volunteers. He also agrees to resend Belerainte over to 1014, though he staunchly denies that it has something to do with Nen. At the entrance doors, Vergei and the other bodyguards watch Belerainte leave the room. They confirm that they can see Belerainte outside the room, though the former could not see anyone from the inside. And when he tries to return inside, his body parts disappear. Biscuit concludes that this is the work of Prince Marayam's Guardian Spirit Beast. After seeing this, Vergei insists that everyone should start learning Nen.

Biscuit plays with Marayam, while Vergei watches her with admiration, blushing at her words

On Sunday, the eighth day, he lets some of Marayam's servants attend the performance as scheduled, even though they will be unable to return to the room. He explains to a Hunter that, unlike the royal family, a servant backing out would arouse suspicion and might result in Queen Sevanti and Prince Marayam being forced to leave the room for questioning. He states that he wishes the prince would be able to stay in the room until they reach their destination. Biscuit agrees with him but convinces him to also send the Hunters in the teleported room to the empty one. Vergei asks her what she will do, to which she replies that she will stay in the teleported room because they need a woman around. Her words leave Vergei even more infatuated.
