[132], Willow's plan proved successful. There, he stopped the Mayor from smothering Buffy. Faith proclaimed Drusilla to be a mess, and although Angel openly agreed with her, he made the closing statement: "But before she met me, she was beautiful. Both of them had lost their memories of her since she was losing her magical essence due to the loss of magic, so Angel and Faith would be the first to forget her since they interacted little with her.[23]. The woman had a young son, whom Angelus killed afterwards. "[106] The Master once commented that Angel was "the most vicious creature [he had] ever met. Angel could also be braggy and sometimes pretentious, shown when he recounted stories of his battles to the people of Pylea (who had hailed him a hero) and was even smugly flattered by their continuous admiration of him, admitting to Lorne that it was nice to be not have to deal the moral ambiguity judgments he often got at home. It's my destiny." "[71] Despite his efforts, Angel did not always believe it was possible for him to gain redemption for his evil actions, once telling Spike that he believed his escape from Acathla's dimension was not an escape, but only a "short reprieve," and that he still believed he would go to hell when he die. Buffy and Angel share a moment of pure happiness. [69] His actions also included allowing Drusilla and Darla to slaughter a number of prominent Wolfram & Hart employees, even locking them in the room. [178], In reference to his actions without a soul, Angel once told Lindsey: "I'm the greatest mass murderer you've ever met. Fred then discovered where the owner had been hiding it, but was found by Darla and Angelus, who attacked her in an attempt to take the beetle. [29], 1767: Holtz tracked them down in Marseilles and managed to put numerous arrows in Angelus. Vampire (Van-Tal in Pylea)Puppet demon (formerly) [104] He even went so far as to sign away his candidacy for the Shanshu Prophecy to prove his loyalty, exploiting the Circle's inability to realize that he would do good for its own sake rather than to receive a reward. However, he was actually being haunted by the First Evil, who claimed to be the one that freed him from Acathla's hell. [citationneeded]. [11] He was later described in historical volumes as the "one with the angelic face,"[2] and the "demon with the face of an angel. The sins he committed when soulless were constantly at the back of his mind, to a degree where he felt for a very long time that he did not deserve happiness or redemption. Since Acathla could only be stopped by the blood of the individual who activated him, Buffy stabbed Angel with a blessed sword. [83] After he adopted the name "Angel" circa 1943, the name "Angelus" would be brought up in reference to the time when he was still called as such,[89][174][90] or to compare his present with his evil history. Angel has appeared in the most episodes in the Buffyverse, for a total of 168 episodes; Buffy and Willow are next, with 150 and 147 episodes respectively. Angel confronts Whistler at a pizzeria in London. His soulless experience also gave him understanding of the psychosis of stalkers, giving him a unique insight into many of his enemies. Angel would even indirectly kill several human lawyers of Wolfram & Hart by locking them in a room at the mercy of Drusilla and Darla in his obsession to take them down. Afterward, he revealed that he was unique among his kind for possessing a soul, as a result of the curse placed upon him as a punishment for murdering the favorite daughter of a Romani tribe. Angel again attempted to reason to Whistler over the wrongness of killing so many innocent people, not feeling any desire to kill him. She was particularly interested in knowing if he had murdered Giles in his own right mind, or if he had been taken over by Twilight's influence at the time. [169] While soulless, he was unaffected by the Judge's incinerating touch, as unlike his ensouled self, he had no humanity for the Judge to burn out. Appearances Giles explains to the others that the current events tie in to a prophecy of a supernatural upheaval where the world shall be recreated after a Slayer changes the world, with Buffy and Angel having been selected to serve as the catalysts of that change. [45], Both times he was soulless, Angel resented many of the habits he had with a soul and was disgusted by them, such as his love for Buffy,[50] his loyalty and compassion towards his teammates in Angel Investigations,[citationneeded] and his twenty-year period of feeding on rat blood after drinking from a murder victim. [96] He was told that it would play a role in the upcoming battle against the First Evil and had to be worn by someone with a soul, but more than human a champion. Seeing Willow's inner turmoil, Angel was more sympathetic and agreed to take her to Connor and talk to him, but made it clear to Willow that it was Connor's choice to go along with her plan. [105], Angel finally understood that he would never be able to completely stop the forces of evil, but that he could temporarily sever the Senior Partners' hold on Earth and stop their apocalyptic plans. [67] However, Darla became pregnant thanks to the one night they had had sex, which was thought to be impossible for vampires. Instead of destroying Thesulac, as it was in his power to do, even when the demon gave him the opportunity, he personally gave the vicious demon free reign to prey upon and ravage the inhabitants of the hotel unhindered. Faith cared for him and in an attempt to speed up his recovery, read him passages from Giles' old Watchers Diaries. He disclosed that he would work Giles' soul rather than his body; while Faith still seemed skeptical of his plan, she agreed to help him. He was discovered by Wesley, who returned as a ghost to act as liaison between Angel and the Senior Partners. [141], When they returned, Spike was ordered to watch over Angel in the basement while Faith and the others performed the ritual. While investigating recent murders with Sophia and Lavinia's aid, Angel witnessed a newly-turned vampire walking in sunlight and displaying a greater resistance to the usual anti-vampire weapons, confirming that the restoration of magic had changed the rules for new vampires. Angel also possessed a sense of humor despite his serious personality, usually in the form of dark sarcasm. In childhood, she was close friends with her cousin Celia and enjoyed playing Power Girl with her. Angelus took his time and brutalized her before raping and killing her. Buffy characters were some of the best TV has ever seen; losing them felt like losing one of your own. Angel acted against all of his instincts and made a deal with his sworn enemy in exchange for them erasing Connor's memories and giving him a normal life, and trying to find a way to cure Cordelia who had gone into a coma. He naturally associated them with "always trying," no matter the cost, and more than once made reference to their right to choose over others' attempts to impose their own will on them. On the way back to their apartment, Angel told Faith that Giles' writings about the girl had "opened his eyes" and then sent her on her way, informing her that he could go home alone and wait for her, as she had other things to do. After The Oracles a link to The Powers That Be confirm he is human again, Angel and Buffy spend a blissful night together. Giving up trying to reason with Whistler, Angel challenged his benefactor to a duel, declaring that, since Whistler had always said that it was always the "big moments" that defined a person, then it was time to find out. "Welcome to the Hellmouth" [160] Still, he would on occasion put them below the "bigger picture," particularly the fate of the world. [164] He would also once admit an interest in mysteries and detective work. [26], 1789: A lone Angelus encountered the Beast in Prussia, standing in a field of bodies. Before the Mayor's Ascension, Faith infected Angel with the Killer of the Dead, a poison that slowly killed vampires and could only be cured by the blood of a Slayer. Spike, who Angel had called earlier for assistance,[138] also appeared at Alasdair's residence. They discussed Spike and the return of his soul, along with Buffy's feelings for him. Angel's speech patterns were also established as cryptic and sometimes abbreviated, much to Buffy and others' frequent irritation. [158], Angel admitted to hating the stereotype that vampires sleep in coffins during the day; when asked why he wasn't sleeping in a coffin, Angel explained that the idea of sleeping in coffins originated from "ignorant media" and that vampires were perfectly capable of operating during the day as long as they avoid exposure to direct sunlight. In the final issue of Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Reckoning, Buffy also did not end with Buffy romantically involved with anyone. [40] Even as Buffy, the Watchers Council, and the Los Angeles Police Department pursued Faith, Angel continued to help her. He was subsequently reunited with Faith when she returns to Magic Town as part of her new job with Zane Pharmaceuticals, but the company's attempt to assist him in assessing Fred's condition results in Illyria taking control once again. [16], In Los Angeles, Angel again began to isolate himself from humanity, in order to combat the lust for human blood that had been awakened within him after feeding on Buffy. Example, when Angel, Cordi and baby connor are laying in bed after getting that money, and Cordi is talking about a boat, it could be argued that Angel is happy and content in that moment. [citationneeded] Angel also appeared to be a master of intimidation; when Connor broke free of his restraints and beat down Gunn and Fred, Angel, despite his weakened condition after three months trapped at the bottom of the ocean and only a limited amount of recently-ingested blood to restore himself, quickly stood up to Connor and ordered him to sit down, which he did after only a slight hesitation.[86]. [165], Angel often adopted a controlling persona around people, especially those he was closest too. More of a demon, who's always there. [14] Ironically, Angelus' protg Spike would betray him and foil his own plan to destroy the world over two centuries later for similar reasons. He accompanied Faith to the girl's residence, and as the demon was slaughtered he received a rush of Giles' memories detailing the day he'd fallen in love with Jenny Calendar. [38], 1894: Angelus and Spike were captured in Rome, Italy by henchmen of The Immortal, a mysterious and seductive being with whom they both had a fierce rivalry. In 2000, three young Wolfram & Hart associates, Lindsey McDonald, Lee Mercer, and Lilah Morgan, attempted to have Faith assassinate Angel. AngelAngelusTwilightAngel Jones[1]The One with the Angelic Face[2]Brian Jensen[3]Herb Saunders[4]Leonard Taubman[5]Jay-Don[6]Geraldo Angel[7]Captain Forehead (by Spike)[8][9] "[97], Angel's year spent running Wolfram & Hart was one marred with challenge and self-doubt. [13], 1860: a young woman named Drusilla from London caught the attention of Darla, who then presented her to Angelus as a gift. In addition to his proficiency in many forms of martial arts, he mastered many varieties of weapons, favoring broadswords and sometimes axes. Angelus and Darla outwardly wondered why they hadn't yet killed William, who had taken the alias "Spike," for his dangerously rebellious behavior. Because of this, he could easily make dangerous decisions. People who have annoyed him most include Spike, Xander, and Harmony. [102], In 2004, while investigating the sinister children's program Smile Time, Angel was turned into a puppet. Angel admits to Spike that he is not yet over Buffy. An ensouled Angelus follows Darla to China in 1900. [citationneeded], Sorcery: Angel also had some experience in magic, able to perform spells, exorcisms,[1] and glamours, although he preferred to rely on others' expertise if the option was available rather than doing them himself. [citationneeded], Angel had a tattoo on his back of a griffin with the letter A in the tail. It was around this time that he realized werewolf Nina Ash was attracted to him, and the pair started dating. After being kicked out of the bar for fighting,[11] he followed the woman the vampire Darla into an alleyway, where she promised to show him a whole new world then sired him. [173], During his darker phases, Angel also smoked, such as his reversion to soulless state in 1998,[50] his ensouled depression pre-Buffy,[45] and his dark phase in Los Angeles in late 2000. [128], When he arrived at the apartment again, he and Faith confronted her father, who revealed that he had come to ask his Slayer daughter to kill a mobster for him. [11] Despite this setback and Giles' initial displeasure of being brought back by him under these circumstances, he was undeterred and insisted they would find a way to fix this as well. Confronted by Buffy then possessing strength, invulnerability, and flight like his own Twilight chose to reveal his true identity to her. At last. [151], Angel tended to be reserved and was often seen as more wounded up and uptight in contrast to others, sometimes even rivaling Wesley and Giles. The couple was then apprehended by Spike and his followers, who planned to have him watch Buffy die at the hands of the newly arisen demon.[49]. Portrayed by As introduced in Buffy in 1997, Angel is a love interest for heroine Buffy Summers ( Sarah Michelle Gellar ), a young woman whose destiny as "the Slayer" is to fight the forces of evil, such as vampires and demons. This personality trait partly contributed to his established dislike of parties, preferring to either not be at one or remain on the sidelines if he had to. Angel, while not exactly quick to anger, could become irritated at times. His most prominent and mocked trait was his tendency to be overly gloomy and brooding. [13], 1890: Angelus attended a production of Giselle by the Blinnikov World Ballet Corps, a Russian ballet troupe run by Count Kurskov. [104], Fall of Los Angeles: Following the Fall of Los Angeles, Angel was turned human by the Senior Partners as a way to deprive him of his strength when he most needed it. Even when human, Angel was able to defeat opponents far stronger than him, including briefly getting the better of Spike, before Illyria stepped in, and defeating Charles Gunn who was, at the time, a vampire. [140] As Angel suffered from his bout of insanity, he muttered about the death of Jenny Calendar from Giles' perspective. Angel is horrified by a vision of his role in the Shanshu Prophecy. [112] Initially alone in the fight, he was soon aided by his old friends, Spike, Illyria, Connor, Gwen, Nina, the Groosalugg, Lorne, and Wesley,[113] and successfully tricked the Lords into killing themselves with the Hagan Shafts. First, Doyle, a half-Brachen demon and fellow Irishman with precognitive abilities was sent by the Powers That Be to be Angel's guide. His chivalry and sensitivity frequently made him prone to seeing others as his complete responsibility, specifically "damsels in distress. [12], Liam's body was buried; at some point during the night, he rose again. "[2] After his first meeting with Buffy, which left her with a bad impression, she still described him as "gorgeous,"[47] calling him a "honey," claiming most girls would find him attractive "if they [had] eyes," describing him as a "hunk," and saying that his eyes were "penetrating. Using the Scythe to carve symbols into Connor's body, Willow managed to open an entrance to Quor'toth in the Hyperion Hotel. [31] During the two times he lost his soul, Angel regularly exploited his knowledge of his past allies to play on their weaknesses, such as Buffy's insecurities about her sexual performance after losing her virginity,[50] Xander's crush on Buffy with the knowledge that Angel got to her first,[179] mentioning Wesley's affair with Lilah so Fred could hear it,[176] revealing his knowledge that Gunn and Fred killed Professor Seidel,[176] and taunting Connor about the deaths of Holtz and Darla. [72], After the death of Buffy's mother, Angel returned to Sunnydale to comfort Buffy, and the two spent a night discussing how life would continue after Joyce's death. When Faith was hit by Eyghon, Angel fought against him, but was injured in the process. Watching it, you felt every tear, every wall punch, every clenched hug. He helped out with the people, but rejected Alasdair's implication of him becoming the next balance demon. The Angel Investigations team enlisted the help of demon karaoke bar-owner, Lorne, initially known only as the Host. In this effort, Gunn was badly wounded, and Wesley was killed. He refused again and apologized for what he had done to her; however, she declared that she no longer cared. [96], Soon after the events in Los Angeles, Angel traveled to Sunnydale to give Buffy an amulet he had obtained from Wolfram & Hart. However, despite her misgivings, Willow decided to help Angel with his plans because she herself needed him, stating that she needed Connor to bring magic back to Earth; in order to regain her magic, she needed to travel to another dimension where magic still existed and "soak up" the energy from there, but the only dimension that could still be accessed from this world was Quor'toth as there were never any portals to Quor'toth in the first place. As planned, he went to Alasdair to borrow his magical items only to have the archmage refuse him. Feeling anguish at his failure to save Darla and fury at Wolfram & Hart for their machinations, Angel fired his crew[68] and embarked on a vendetta against both the law firm and the newly reunited Darla and Drusilla. [150] Although, when the spirit witnessed Angel's allies running to join him despite the danger, where Archaeus' forces only obeyed him out of fear, it allied with Angel to trap Archaeus in the golem body Archaeus had intended to offer the spirit, sealing the demon away. Whistler told Angel that he wanted his help to prevent it, warranting that having some people die would be better than allowing the world end. [45] However, after meeting Buffy and seeing the well of inner strength she possessed, his outlook on humanity slowly changed. Faith wondered aloud if the Crown would have the same effect as Mohra blood, but Angel had no answer. [69], In his past, Angel had been known as the man "Liam" and the vampire "Angelus." However, Angel was spared when Buffy saved his life and prevented her friend from killing him. [147], Having returned to Magic Town, Angel explained the situation to Faith and Fred after Archaeus managed to abduct Nadira. Making their way to Los Angeles, the group reunited with Gunn and Connor, the latter of whom unhesitatingly agreed to Willow's plan because he had seen what was happening and knew that Willow was right. [100] Shortly after Angel assumed control of the law firm, matters were further complicated when Spike appeared as a ghost,[8] emerging from the amulet Angel had given Buffy and that was then sent back to Angel in the mail. After he heard about a little girl who was playing host to a demon, he suddenly recuperated, donning his redemptive mindset once more. In the wake of the fight, Angel continued to shift between the three presences, much to Spike and Faith's concern. [41] Drusilla noted that "Angelus" was always whispering to "Angel" in the back of his mind to encourage him to submit to his vampiric instincts, although he rejected this idea and claimed that he was used to ignoring what people have to say to him. 2 . Angel admitted his appreciation to Whistler for giving him a purpose, and for allowing him to meet Buffy, but expressed that he wouldn't participate in anything that would sacrifice the lives of innocent people, despite Whistler's fixation on "balance." Buffy and her parents in 1986. He had a tendency to bottle up his emotions, feelings and problems behind stoicism, causing him to appear difficult to read and secretive. When he realized how much William cared for Drusilla, Angelus had sex with her just to hurt him and teach him a lesson, an action William would never forgive. Angel would return to his "never winning" belief, but a more elaborated version: "If nothing we do matters, than all that matters is what we do. On the day she was to take her holy orders, Angelus massacred the convent. Buffy even compared his maturity to that of a twelve-year-old during one of their reunions. Angel fought against Whistler, only for him to transform into a blue-horned demon with very strong melting abilities. He managed to kill almost four-hundred other vampires in the process. [34] William went so far as to consider the elder vampire his sire and "Yoda. She quickly left with her team when she received a text about a possible solution. Buffy and Angel escaped Spike's minions and fled to Angel's apartment, where they had sex. "[25] By his twenties, Liam had become a drunken, whoring layabout,[13] whose only real ambition in life lay in someday seeing the world. Seeing her again with her sanity restored, he desperately asked her how she had managed it, causing her to reveal that the Lorophage demon had consumed the traumatic memories that had caused her lunacy. In 1753, at the age of twenty-six, after a habitual night of drunken debauchery and failed attempts to seduce the family's only maidservant, Liam and his father got into a heated argument; enraged by his son's chronically reckless behavior, his father declared that Liam was wasting his life, and slapped him across the face. The requirements of being content are kind of minimal. There's a scene in Angel that reveals this, clearly. [162][163] He was competent, but uncomfortable, with modern technology; he frequently struggled to understand cellphones (once claiming that they must have been invented by a "bored warlock") and confused computer terminology such as "chatty rooms. Eventually, after Angel defeated the undefeated Champion of Pylea, the Groosalugg, they returned with a new team member, Winifred "Fred" Burkle, in tow, and learned that Buffy had died. As a frustrated Spike left the two (being the only one who actually remembered Buffy's connection to Dawn), Angel forced his attention to return to bringing Giles back. [citationneeded], Despite being over two-centuries old, Angel was not the most mature individual. [20] Angel awoke to his senses, initially completely unaware of what he had done. [13] However, he would eventually convince himself that he could make a difference, redeem himself, and receive some sort of reward for it. However, Angel made his presence known to all of the Scoobies except Buffy, under the belief that his presence would only distract and endanger her even more. Angel managed to stop the puppet demons' plans and save the children of Los Angeles. He told her that he wanted to continue Giles' work where he'd left off, helping people in need, and also revealed the true reason why he had recovered so suddenly. [171], Whenever his curse took effect, it took a few moments for Angel to remember his actions,[12][27] but he soon became horrified at the memories. Motorist skills: Angel could drive and had a good eye for cars, owning a black 1967 Plymouth GTX and a Dodge Viper, along with an entire garage full of other cars as W&H CEO. He apparently reverted to his original strengths and weaknesses following the destruction of the Seed of Wonder and Twilight's defeat. Wesley explains to Angel that 99 percent of the time, sex does not result in true happiness, Angel and Buffy simply had a remarkable bond. Me, I fought for my soul, went through the demon trials, almost did me in a dozen times over, but I kept fighting. However, following the temporal fold performed by the Senior Partners, Angel regained his vampire abilities and handicaps. "[91] In contrast, the time he had lost his soul in 1997, he kept his most recent name and reaffirmed his identity as "Angel. When Angel was nearly killed by the regenerated Mohra, Buffy managed to slay it with his help. Angel admitted on two separate occasions he admired that about people, citing it as one of aspects that drove him to atone,[154][156] a sharp contrast from his soulless counterpart, who did not have faith in the "human condition" and believed their only purpose was to suffer and die. Sophronia, Lavina, and Alasdair successfully finished the incantation and Giles' body was struck with magical energy. [citationneeded], Angel's love life had never been very active, originally because he held a reluctance to get close to someone and possibly lose his soul. Having discovered a ritual that might allow her to access Quor'toth using the residual energy in the Scythe as a "battery," Willow needed something from the target dimension to access it in the first place, requiring Connor due to the time he had spent in that world. However, Doyle shares the news that the Mohra demon is alive: the demon's rejuvenating blood also worked on itself. Angelus and Spike attempted to take revenge on the Immortal more than once, but failed each time.[39]. [169] While soulless, Angel was unaffected by the Judge, a demon who could incinerate any being with "humanity," or the ability to feel human emotions. Lavinia threw Angel another a sword, and he attempted to stop Nash, only for him to easily deflect it. Over the years, Angel became increasingly disillusioned with the Shanshu Prophecy, eventually coming to believe that the prophecy was wholly unreliable, causing him to focus on doing good for the sake of it rather than for a reward. He still felt that he was far from deserving of contentment, but worked tirelessly to prove himself to his peers and the Powers That Be. David BoreanazMike Massa (stunts)Rance HowardZach Hanks, Angel was one of the most well-known vampires in all of vampiric history, legendary for both his savage villainy[8] and his great heroism. "[162] He also knew how to change diapers, but claimed to be more familiar with pins than the "new-fangled fasteners" of disposable brands. The following morning, he and Faith caught Spike exiting the bathroom shower with Harmony. [citationneeded], Nadira and her fellow Slayers arrived unexpectedly, carrying with them the body of a dead Slayer. [58], Angel promised Buffy that he would stay until Sunnydale High School's graduation day, to help avert the Mayor's Ascension. Angel and Faith then traveled to Peru to retrieve the Crown of Coils from a demons' lair. [34], 1883: Angelus killed a female servant named Margaret during a Christmas party in London. Following Abrams's decree, however, many of the show's cast fell in line with the idea that Buffy-Spike may have been endgame. Realizing what this means for their relationship, Angel spends the night with Buffy. [citationneeded] Because of his borderline martyr complex, Angel repeatedly sacrificed his own happiness for the sake of the world or individual people who mean a lot to him, such as giving up his humanity to in an attempt to save Buffy from her prophesied death[60] and destroying the Gem of Amara. While he appeared to somewhat doubt himself, Whistler did not change his mind and insisted it was the only way and that he had gone too far to stop. [5], Last edited on 15 February 2023, at 17:40, "Ubi Caritas? Nonetheless, Buffy appreciated that he came, and he remained with her until sunrise. Soon, Willow performed the ritual Jenny had rediscovered and preserved to restore his soul. Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, who had briefly served as Watcher to both Buffy and Faith in Sunnydale, arrived in Los Angeles around that time, claiming to be a "rogue demon hunter," a "lone wolf sort" who only worked solo. "[50], The distinction between his states with and without a soul was sometimes referred as separate entities. Ehygon attempted to overtake Angel as well, but was met with resistance by the three beings already inhabiting Angel's body. Viewers were left in tears after Buffy's love interest, Spike (James Marsters), sacrificed . [citationneeded] The notable exceptions to this rule were when Angel wore a Hawaiian shirt while undercover,[4] a cream pullover identical to his darker ones to make a customer more comfortable,[3] an uncharacteristic white and yellow striped dress shirt while under Jasmine's thrall and a loud Italian sports jacket[39] (although this last was only because his usual clothes were damaged by a bomb planted by the Immortal and there was nothing else available for him to wear).
