Fictional character biography

D'Agosta's first appearance is in Relic, as the NYPD detective in charge of the Mbwun museum murders. He and Agent Pendergast are adversaries for much of the investigation, but D'Agosta is eventually able to accept his help and the two work together to solve the mystery and save innocent lives. D'Agosta returns in Reliquary, after which he retires to Canada, using the pseudonym of Campbell Dirk to write police procedurals.

D'Agosta comes out of retirement, leaving his cheating wife and college aged son (Vinnie Jr.) in Canada, in Brimstone and returns to the force. He is now sergeant. He works with Laura Hayward, whom he was romantically involved with, and again with Agent Pendergast. The two investigate various murders with satanic overtones; they also become involved with the search for a priceless violin.

In Dance of Death, D'Agosta risks his job to conceal the fugitive Pendergast's whereabouts and helps him defeat his murderous brother, Diogenes. This takes them back to D'Agosta's old workplace, the museum.

He then helps break Pendergast out of prison and helps to catch Diogenes in The Book of the Dead.

In the film The Relic, Lieutenant D'Agosta is played by Tom Sizemore.
