Prologue - A Brief History of Time...
There has always been the potential to incorrectly judge a reploid maverick. The term we have come to apply is; one who is infected with the Maverick Virus. However, this is sometimes overlooked during a hunt and a reploid can be accidentally deemed maverick and wrongfully retired. Too often this is the result of not knowing the ulterior motive of the reploid in question. -Reploids and Mavericks by Dr. James Cain
When you think about it, there aren't that many people who've come back from the dead. There's only been one human who may or may not have managed it a long time ago, but in modern days, it just doesn't happen.
Unless you happen to be a reploid, like me. But even then, not too many of my brethren are brought back from the pearly white gates once they've been sent that way through some means. The humans are probably just jealous they can't do it so hardly anybody gets to play Lazarus anymore.
There are exceptions to the rule of course. Several reploids have been resurrected multiple times. Just look at the Maverick Hunters pride and joy, Zero Omega. He's died and been brought back…what, two, three times now? I lose count. Another reploid has an even more impressive figure. Sigma, leader of the mavericks and general scourge of the planet, has been revived at least 10 times now.
There is, however, one lesser known reploid that's been rebuilt and reborn several times now. He started off as a Maverick Hunter, same as Sigma, where he was known for being a little bit excessive when hunting mavericks. History remembers him as Sigma's second in command during the first maverick uprising. He was killed by the hunters X and Zero and, eventually, someone got around to rebuilding him during the Dopplertown incident. Once again, he bought the farm at the hands of the same hunters as the first time and after a long hiatus, wherein much of the planet was destroyed by a falling space station, he was brought back to life just in time for the Jakob Project incident. Alas, the reaper must have really wanted him to stay where he was because he was destroyed once again, this time due to a trio of hunters instead of the original two he was used to.
One might wonder, if this maverick kept on getting destroyed, why does Sigma keep rebuilding him? Well, I can't presume to know the mind of Sigma, as warped and twisted by the multiple deaths as it is, but I think he likes a little familiarity surrounding him. And so it was, a few years after the incident with the Jakob Project, Sigma managed to obtain the remains of this reploid and proceeded to rebuild him for the third time, hoping that the legendary saying, 'third time's the charm' would come true for him.
But of course, what have I been thinking? All this talking and I haven't even mentioned who this reploid is. You'll have to forgive me, I don't do stories all that well. Well, I am this reploid, and I'm known as Vile.

Author's Note: Well, here it is, I felt that Vile's presence in Denique Fatum needed some more explaining and this is what I struck upon. I hope you'll all enjoy it just as much as Denique Fatum. And please leave some feedback, I love to know what people think.
