| Angel was born early in
the eighteenth century. By 1753, he had move to Galway and had turned
into a drunken womaniser. There her met Darla who made him into a
vampire and under the pseudonym "Angelus" he subsequently traveled
Europe, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. At this time he
became more than worthy of The Master's description of him as, the most
vicious creature he had ever met. |
|
| When Angel first
encounters Buffy 200 years later, it is a shadowy advisor who warns her
about The Master's plan to escape. It's not until the episode
"Angel" that he reveals his true form to Buffy. Tending to his
wounds after a skirmish with three vampires, Angel tells Buffy he's an
orphan and that vampires killed his parents. Angel warns that they
should not become involved but they kiss, and Angel morphs into a
vampire form and flees. Later Buffy confronts him, her feelings in
turmoil, and Angel admits that he was the vampire who killed his own
parents. |
|
| Angel's reign of terror ended when
he killed a young gypsy girl offered to him by Darla. The girl's family
cursed him by restoring his soul, making it impossible for him to kill
again. In 'Surprise' it is revealed that Jenny Calendar was sent to
Sunnydale by the gypsy tribe to make sure that Angel never experiences
one moment of happiness: if he does, his soul will vanish again, and his
evil nature will take control. Despite Jenny's attentions, Angel and
Buffy spend a fateful night together. Angel awakens in pain: he has
crossed to the dark side again, and teams up with Spike and Drusilla.
Shortly afterwards Angel killed Jenny, who was working on a spell as a
way of restoring his soul, (in ‘Passion’). |
|
| Jenny’s cure was used by
Willow
and Buffy, as Angel was preparing to resurrect the demon Acathla. As
Jenny’s spell began to work, Buffy ran Angel through with a sword,
sacrificing his life to defeat Acathla. Angel tumbled into the vortex
created by the demon, and Buffy is left alone… Angel returned from the
other dimension (in 'Faith, Hope and Trick'), naked and reborn. He was
nursed back to health by Buffy, who initially kept his reappearance a
secret from Giles and the gang. In 'Amends' Angel was haunted by visions
of some of his victims (including Jenny Calendar), as part of an attempt
by an ancient evil force called The First to drive him to suicide |
