Well i think he was pursuing power in desperation and the "Pride" of his lineage and life but in the end when he dante asks him what is the real purpose of vergil pursuing power he himself is confused and yells at dante that he's wasting time but internally he realized what all he was doing had no purpose at all and so he just jumped off rather then just going with dante because he's too stubborn and prideful to do that if he was really evil he could have easily dragged dante with him in the underworld
Vergil hated demons as much as dante did but he worked with them because he wanted his father's power more than anything but for what reason im not sure... But if i had to guess i think he would obviously wanted to kill mundus as he was involved with his mothers death. I believe vergil's motives where of his own interest and wer'ent evil or for dominant power, it was just how he gone by things that made him have that cold persona.
No i don't think so if that was the case then he wouldn't be lacking empathy he's cold and he has forsaken his past he only pursues power for no valid reason
