ANGELUS

ANGEL-Vampire With A Heart

An Irish gentleman born in the early 1700s, Angelus was a ne'er-do-well who was more interested in drinking than in doing an honest day's work. On one such drunken binge, he encountered a vampire named Darla, who turned him into a vampire. Although he had never left his home of Galway as a human, as a vampire he traveled extensively. In England in 1860, he murdered the family of a woman named Drusilla, driving her mad before finally turning her into a vampire. In Romania in 1898, he killed the favorite daughter of a Romany tribe and was there after cursed by the tribes elders: they restored his soul to him, forcing him to live in anguish over the acts he had committed as a vampire. From that point on, Angel suffered. He drifted for many years, eventually winding up as a homeless person in a New York City alleyway in the 1990s. It was there that the demon whistler found him and encouraged him to make something of himself. He moved to California and decided he would help the slayer. Initially this help came in cryptic clues, but his growing feelings towards Buffy helped him to become closer to her, enabling him to help her even more.


DARLA


Darla is the next known vampire that The Master sired. She is many hundreds of years old and has sired many vampires, but not many of them are known to btvs fans! She was The Master's favourite vampire. After Angel killed her Wolfram &Hart brought her back to life, back to Angel. Angel decided to help Darla come to terms with the fact that she's human, she refused, until she learnt that she was dying from what she was dying from as a human. Angel did everything he could be it wasn't enough. Wolfram and Hart did something...they brought back Drusilla and made her make Darla...back into the vampire she was.


DRUSILLA

Drusilla was mesmerized by Angelus until the night he took her family from her in a bloody vampirific feast. She went insane before he finally sired her and has never forgiven him. She was found by Spike who fell in love with her and vowed to cure her affliction. This included a vendetta as he knew Dru still craved the love angel had first shown her.
