Anyone actually more interested in this guy's story than the protagonists?
Think about it.
Guy could be 50,000 years old and watched his civilization destroy itself in a civil war over nothing.
And he's at that bar surrounded by oddballs of every sort drinking.

Assuming this is the case, since the halves of his face match Bele in LTBYLB, we can gather that Virgil was also of the ruling type of Cheron native that dominated and oppressed the other type. Perhaps he recognized the injustice but felt powerless to do anything about it, so he left Cheron to get away from it all. This species lives for tens of thousands of years, so that gives a pretty huge window of time when he may have done so.
