Angelus returns and taunts from within his cage. She seems so devastated that I kind of wonder if the reversal maybe returned her memory from Angel's "I Will Remember You" as well. [92] Faith (who had almost died in her quest to capture him) and Willow helped to accomplish Angel's restoration via a brief but violent internal mental duel between his soulless and ensouled states. Angel then forced the Lorophage to feed on itself, releasing the torment it had consumed from Drusilla, Faith and its other victims. As he killed his father, Liam boasted that despite his father's disapproval, he had managed to make something of himself after all. [57], Angel and Buffy tried to date, going to the movies, more scenic patrols, and picnics in the cemetery. Angel's speech patterns were also established as cryptic and sometimes abbreviated, much to Buffy and others' frequent irritation. Does Buffy ever stop loving Angel? First, Doyle, a half-Brachen demon and fellow Irishman with precognitive abilities was sent by the Powers That Be to be Angel's guide. Holtz took his own life in such a way that Connor was led to believe he was killed by Angel,[84] making Connor hate his father and be determined to make him pay for the suffering he had caused Holtz and others. [55] Angel began to suspect that his return from hell was not accidental, that he must be meant to serve some unknown purpose. He also showed immunity to sunlight and all vampire weaknesses, and his new abilities also seemed to have altered the conditions of his curse, as he had sex with Buffy without losing his soul. [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. [4] This episode was rated the series' best episode in a poll done by Angel Magazine in 2005. Does Buffy have a child? Having failed to bring Faith to cure Angel, Buffy forced him to feed on her. After killing a nest of vampires, Illyria revealed to the group that Angel was no longer a vampire, leaving Connor feeling angry and betrayed. [28] Holtz then devoted himself to capturing Angelus and Darla, and chased them across Europe. Realizing that he would only ever be a burden to Buffy, and would be unable to protect her as a human, Angel made an impossibly painful decision: he had the Oracles rewind time to reverse his transformation into a human, leaving no one but himself with any memory of the incident. Spike, who Angel had called earlier for assistance,[138] also appeared at Alasdair's residence. [144], The two traded blows, each trying to seize control of the magic orb. Angel was Buffy's first love; he treated her in almost a fairytale way and he knew her when she was at her highest point in life; Spike fell for Buffy at her lowest point. Watching it, you felt every tear, every wall punch, every clenched hug. He met Faith's father back at the apartment, and urged her to reconnect with him; he then went to the Easter End of London, to the old house where Drusilla had lived with her family as a human. [citationneeded]. Just a thought. Believing he was talking to him, the dragon came to believe its own name was Cordelia.[111]. Angel agrees to join her, only for the fight to be interrupted when Spike appears claiming to have the answer to the current crisis. [89] After Cordelia had a vision of soulless Angel facing the Beast in the past which Angel did not recall, Angel's worst fears were realized when he had to strip himself of his soul and revert to his evil self in order to defeat it. This marked the end of Angel's story, as the Buffy and Angel . With rabid fury, they ambushed Angel, beat him, and then hanged him. We all know this, we saw it. [citationneeded] To celebrate her return, Angel took Fred on a trip to Ireland when she expressed a wish to see more of the world, the two visiting Galway to see where Angel grew up. Buffy Sainte-Marie, CC (born Beverly Sainte-Marie, February 20, 1941) is an Indigenous Canadian-American (Piapot Cree Nation) singer-songwriter, musician, composer, visual artist, educator, pacifist, and social activist. Buffy was born to Hank and Joyce Summers on January 19, 1981, [17] [18] in Los Angeles, California. In his essay on the music used in Angel, Matthew Mills points out how, when Angel asks the Oracles to turn back time, the slow tempo and use of the clarinet in the background music adds "emotive weight to the Oracles' sympathy" for his situation. Drusilla was "cursed" with the "sight"; the ability of foresight, something her mother saw as "an affront to the Lord." He was also very self-conscious, and worried what other people thought of him very often. [129] Angel followed her to Drusilla's church, where she had hoped to have her pain alleviated by the Lorophage. [57][104] Additionally, according to Cordelia, Angel possessed remarkable cooking skills "for someone who's on a liquid diet. They sank him to the bottom of the ocean to rescue an American submarine crew from three vampires the Nazis had captured as part of their paranormal research activities: Spike, Nostroyev, and the Prince of Lies. Angel himself was very aware of this (though he rarely admitted it), but made little effort to hide it. Nash had gained control of the plague ball, and prepared to drop it on the people below. In reality, Angel's sire, Darla, had tricked Joyce Summers into inviting her inside and then bit her. Liam's little sister, Kathy, had believed her brother had returned to her as an angel, and ignorantly invited him inside the family home. However, he was actually being haunted by the First Evil, who claimed to be the one that freed him from Acathla's hell. While getting into another argument with Spike, it was interrupted when Faith received an unexpected call from Buffy back in San Francisco. Born 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. [citationneeded], The other demons at the auction ran for a chance to get it while Angel and Faith went to examine the basement of the establishment. [182], Despite this, Spike would mock his appearance in terms of his hair, claiming he used "Nancy boy hair gel. Such cases include his quick acceptance of the taking up the mantle of Twilight because of Whistler and his misguided period in Wolfram & Hart. In this episode, Buffy follows Angel back to Los Angeles, where she confronts him about his surreptitious assistance back in Sunnydale. Buffy characters were some of the best TV has ever seen; losing them felt like losing one of your own. Despite their initial decision to keep distance due to his nature,[2] Angel and Buffy eventually began dating in the following months. [108][109], At the same moment, they rendered Angel human to deprive him of his strength and immortality when he needed it most; unaware of the change, he leaped off a rooftop, breaking his legs and back. 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. [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. Shoving him away, he managed to escape Angel and prepared to launch the magic plague across the world. However, Angel was spared when Buffy saved his life and prevented her friend from killing him. Unidentified fatherUnidentified motherKathy (sister)Connor (son)Twilight ("child")Jasmine (granddaughter) 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. [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. [107] The Senior Partners sent all of Los Angeles to a hell dimension between moments of time, turning the city into an apocalyptic battlefield full of demons. [120], At some point, Angel gained new abilities after a meeting with a shape-shifting higher power, including flight and invulnerability, which he quickly used to save a damaged airplane. [115] Defeating Angel in a duel, Gunn undid the magicks keeping Angel alive, reopening every wound he had suffered since turning human. [102], In 2004, while investigating the sinister children's program Smile Time, Angel was turned into a puppet. [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. I am Angel. [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. 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. Although he was momentarily free to wreak a little havoc of his own while soulless, Angel was recaptured and re-ensouled after a fight with Faith. [22] He eventually succeeded, and was soon after forced into conflict by the maddened Whistler, who wished to restore magic to the world by unleashing a mystical plague, even if it meant killing billions of people. Instead, Angel chose to kill himself by waiting outside for the sun to rise. 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. She made it clear that they were done working together after she finished helping him to bring Giles back. After the submarine suffered damage from a depth charge, Angel was forced to sire a mortally wounded Ensign, Sam Lawson, as he was the only person who was able to repair the damage, and while Angel didn't care about the mission, he needed it to succeed to get the US government to leave him alone, and he needed the submarine so he would not get trapped on the ocean floor. Angel again attempted to reason to Whistler over the wrongness of killing so many innocent people, not feeling any desire to kill him. [46], Angel followed Buffy to Sunnydale, where he lived in an apartment and consumed bagged human blood. Spike was shocked at her phrasing and tried to remind her she knew Dawn. However, Doyle shares the news that the Mohra demon is alive: the demon's rejuvenating blood also worked on itself. [47] Though they had a mutual attraction, Buffy was not aware of Angel's vampiric nature until several weeks after their first meeting. Having hoped to get Angel back, Darla was disgusted and infuriated by Angel's epiphany, and left Los Angeles. As they fought the demons, the creatures continuously regenerated; according to Angel, people had suspected this to be an ability of the demons themselves, but Angel realized afterward that they had been restored because of the Crown's influence. [36] Following Darla being sired by Drusilla, a cold, ruthless and driven Angel was shown to have single-handedly defeated around twenty vampires and demons in one fight. "[91] In contrast, the time he had lost his soul in 1997, he kept his most recent name and reaffirmed his identity as "Angel. She told him that it would be a long time, if ever, but she sometimes envisioned a future with him. Faith defeated Angel but when she refused to kill him, he regained the upper hand and drank from the Slayer, who had injected herself with the Orpheus drug. Mad with demon-induced hysteria, the hotel residents and staff turned on Judy after their suspicions were raised by a private detective. He discovered the presence of a Thesulac demon, a paranoia demon affecting the humans in the hotel, but by the time Angel learned how to defeat it and obtained the items required, the entire hotel was overcome with pathological paranoia. 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]. [41], Angel's most readily identifiable characteristic was his hair which varied in length. Angel and Faith successfully restore a corpse using the Crown of Coils. She had chosen to help people with her newfound clarity, but as Angel was aware, her efforts had gone in vain. Though Buffy managed to rescue him and save his life, Drusilla still recovered. [34] William went so far as to consider the elder vampire his sire and "Yoda. [60], Eventually, Doyle, Angel's trusted friend and sole connection to the Powers That Be, sacrificed himself to save a group of innocents, leading Angel to become even more protective of those few he held dear. [14] Ironically, Angelus' protg Spike would betray him and foil his own plan to destroy the world over two centuries later for similar reasons. Angel returns to The Oracles, who agree to turn back time so that Angel, accepting the entire cost of the bargain, can kill the Mohra before its blood makes him human. 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. [68], In 2001, Holland Manners succeeded in breaking Angel's spirit by telling him that the power of Wolfram & Hart came from the evil within humanity itself and that nothing Angel did would ever amount to anything; depressed and tortured, Angel had sex with Darla in an attempt to shed his soul,[70] but he only found "perfect despair." [30], 1786: Angelus sired a Puritan by the name of Penn, who mimicked Angelus by wreaking havoc on his father and killing his family. [142], As Whistler began to distill magic into a ball, Angel immediately tried to stop him, only to be distracted when Nash fought against him instead. He refused again and apologized for what he had done to her; however, she declared that she no longer cared. Faith cared for him and in an attempt to speed up his recovery, read him passages from Giles' old Watchers Diaries. To their intense disappointment, they discovered in the new magicless world, Mohra blood did not regenerate dead flesh with stability, but triggered perpetual regeneration until the victim was decapitated. Angel managed to win back some acceptance after he saved Willow from the corrupt former Watcher Gwendolyn Post. [68] After a misguided one-night stand with Darla in a moment of weakness,[70] he snapped out of his depression and returned to himself for the most part. Angel was puzzled at his outburst along with Faith, expressing a lack of awareness of Buffy even having a sister. Angel fought against Whistler, only for him to transform into a blue-horned demon with very strong melting abilities. Angel must make a difficult decision regarding Buffy when a demon's blood makes him mortal once more. [16], The trio managed to do a lot of good, but when Doyle had a vision of Buffy in danger at Thanksgiving, Angel immediately returned to Sunnydale to help against Hus, a Native American vengeance spirit accidentally set free by Xander's construction crew. Angel admits to Spike that he is not yet over Buffy. During Angelus' first meeting with Darla's sire, the Master, he openly mocked the older vampire, and showed no fear despite the Master's greater age, power and authority. Xander once took notice of this, and mockingly called him "Bossy the Cow. 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] Angel was also established as detached from reality, and didn't find many things in his life he could look forward to. He believed he had little talent with words, and disliked public speaking. [41] Angel once commented that he had "given up on hate a long time [before]," and that he never killed purely out of hatred, but rather because of his sheer sadism. Relatives Angel also believed for years that the ends justified the means up to a certain extent and had been seen doing morally wrong acts for the "greater good," examples being instructing Lorne to kill Lindsey,[161] and his actions in his period as the masked Twilight. They followed a lead to Mother Superior's church, only to find both the Lorophage demon and a completely sane Drusilla.[127]. [99] Then both possessed souls, and both were still in love with Buffy; they had evolved into very different heroes in the war against evil. After hearing this concerns as well from Mayor Wilkins and Joyce, Angel decided to leave Buffy and Sunnydale. Later that night, Team Angel assassinated the members of the Circle of the Black Thorn with Angel taking on Marcus Hamilton with the help of Connor. They eventually came across dog-like demons who worshiped Connor; wanting to help them, Connor stayed behind. Spike and Angel worked together very effectively to defeat Eyghon, and almost succeeded in capturing him, but were hindered when Eyghon possessed Spike's body despite the fact that he already housed a demon. The woman had a young son, whom Angelus killed afterwards. That was everything to me. Angel admitted that he had known Eyghon was alive since his time as Twilight, and that the demon owned Giles' soul, which made his resurrection possible in theory. Angel and everyone else immediately tried to catch it, but ultimately could not stop it in time. "[100], Angel was also an excellent sketch artist[citationneeded] and possessed a photographic memory that he used to his advantage. But Angel's relationship with his teammates, particularly Cordelia, was strained, though things improved rather quickly. Darla noticed this, angry at his deception and inability to kill innocent humans while Spike had recently killed a Slayer. Angel, while not exactly quick to anger, could become irritated at times. It was at that point that he turned her into a vampire. [10] Giving Cordelia the dragon over to the Groosalugg to remain as inconspicuous as possible, Angel reopened Angel Investigations. [119], Realizing that the Senior Partners needed him alive for their plans, Angel provoked Gunn into beheading him with the flaming sword. He could also be unintentionally blunt in his reasonings and manner of speech, though this eventually became less frequent over the years. [50][81][104] Even so, he was also never called "Angelus" again, except by those who didn't know about his name change[35][26][43] or had known him from before,[68][175] who were often corrected. The Fairweather sisters informed them that Ethan Rayne had been on the guest book for the funeral, much to Angel and Faith's confusion, because he had been killed by General Voll during the Twilight crisis.
