>!'The character might be reflective of a face from the books, one which also appeared in the Telltale games based on those comics, but still seems to be mostly unique to the TV series. [..] Virgil might play a role in this if he is reflective of Pete from The Walking Dead comics. Pete is originally from Virginia and plays a large role in Michonne’s emotional life.'!<

>!This means Virgil was:!<
>!A) cast because he resembles Pete from the gane.!<
>!B ) styled to resemble Pete from the game.!<
