BibliophileAnn Bangel shipper/fan May 31, 2017 #9 The precise source and limit of his new abilities were unknown, but he survived having a tree thrown at him without any apparent side-effects, the tree simply splintering off his chest. [45] However, after meeting Buffy and seeing the well of inner strength she possessed, his outlook on humanity slowly changed. "I'll . While posing as her priest in order to torment her, Angelus killed her family in front of her, which caused Drusilla to flee to a convent. Angel traveled to Hemery High School in Los Angeles, where he witnessed Buffy being called as the Slayer and her initial training under her Watcher, Merrick, as well as her emotional turmoil caused by her new duties and her parents' deteriorating marriage. "[8][9], Enhanced vampire abilities: Angel had the standard powers and vulnerabilities of a vampire; he was immortal, regenerated damage, possessed superhuman physical attributes, and had heightened senses, able to track people by scent alone. [14], Angelus becomes known as the "one with the angelic face. [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. 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. 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. The group finally reconciled,[71] and Wesley was appointed the official leader. Angel then decided that he would be the one to attack Eyghon, as he believed that he would be immune to the demon's ability of possession. 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. Angel quickly brought up the possibility that the same Lorophage demon that had killed Giles' friends when he was younger was responsible for the bouts of psychosis blighting the city, as victims of Lorophage attacks oftentimes lost their sanity as a result of their trauma being brought to the surface too suddenly. [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. He would eventually murder two Slayers, and became a particularly renowned vampire as a result. [18] When Angel came to his senses and rebelled against the real Twilight, it possessed him[19] and fought Buffy in the ruins of Sunnydale, where she stopped Twilight by destroying the Seed of Wonder, causing the end of magic. [24], Despite his constant stoicism, Angel was more than capable of forming close bonds with others, particularly his Angel Investigations associates. "Angel" is the seventh episode of season 1 of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Portrayed by Mad with demon-induced hysteria, the hotel residents and staff turned on Judy after their suspicions were raised by a private detective. Unphased by Whistler's accusations, Angel justified that his friends had been in danger, and that he had simply wanted to help. The First, able to adopt the appearances of Angel's past victims, lashed him with guilt and tempted him to end it all by losing his soul once again and killing Buffy. As a human and a soulless vampire, he often sported either long, shoulder-length hair, either down or in a loose ponytail. They are attacked by a Mohra demon; when Angel kills the demon he is restored to life by its powerful blood. Strong examples of this include him wiping an insane Connor's memory so he would live peacefully with new parents[96] and taking away his chance of being together with Buffy as a human under the believed notion that he was saving her from death. Angel phones Buffy but does not speak when she answers. After the robber shot the employee and fled, Angel stayed with the man as he died. Soon, Willow performed the ritual Jenny had rediscovered and preserved to restore his soul. [2] Due to his advanced age, however, he was considerably more powerful than an average vampire; for example, he was able to run at such speeds that he appeared to teleport several meters,[42][159][70][92], was strong enough that he could lift up a heavy security gate[87], survive explosions and falls from skyscrapers with little injury,[78][39][70] and withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight and holy items to no ill effect. Angel, while not exactly quick to anger, could become irritated at times. Its blood, eventually found to be the Blood of Eternity, merges with his own, and he becomes human. Before leaving, he gave Buffy a Claddagh ring for her seventeenth birthday, a traditional courting gift in Ireland. In 1998, while soulless, his style somewhat changed, noticeably the black leather pants he wore throughout his this period (something that both Cordelia and Lorne have referenced). 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. 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]. As a result of this, Connor's memories were returned to him and he remembered that Angel was his father. 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. [14], In the late 20th century, Angel, as he began calling himself, became an ally and lover of the current Slayer, Buffy Summers. "Angel was meant to suffer. 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. [90] While soulless, Angel did indeed overcome the Beast and realized that the Beast was a mere "flunky" serving an even more powerful evil; the Beast he knew was only interested in smashing and slaughter, and it was unlikely that it would have become smarter in the years since his initial encounter with him.[91]. Cordelia and Angel discussed how skewed he got from his path and how lost he was without her, Cordelia was shocked to learn that he and the others had taken over "Evil Incorporated." He has seen her bad. [39] Spike also called Angel a "drama queen"[168] and Cordelia once noted that he was melodramatic. As she rampaged, Angel concocted a plan. Eyhgon then escaped through a broken window. [45], 1960s: Angel met the Rat Pack multiple times in Las Vegas, giving advice to Sammy Davis, Jr.[44], 1967: Angel attended Elvis and Priscilla's wedding reception in Las Vegas, since he attends the first taping of the Carol Burnett Show in Los Angeles. Angel managed to stop the puppet demons' plans and save the children of Los Angeles. Angelus expressed no interest in the Order of Aurelius' plan to destroy the human world and bring about the return of the Old Ones, as he preferred the hedonistic pleasures of the world above. She was able to see that he had attached a magical item known as the Tooth of Ammut to his body, which he intended to use to draw the fragments of Giles' soul trapped in demons and other mystical sources into his body. One moment of true happiness, of contentment, one moment where the soul that we restored no longer plagues his thoughts, and that soul is taken from him." Enyos [src] The Ritual of Restoration was a curse to restore a vampire 's soul. Angel absorbs a fragment of Giles' soul from the Scythe. [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. [56] Later, when Faith began working as a double agent for the Mayor Richard Wilkins, the duo attempted to remove Angel's soul once again and appeared to succeed; however, Angel only acted as if he was soulless as part of a plan that exposed Faith's new loyalties. Before running away, she gave Angel a teary and foreboding message, foretelling his dark future involving the three "voices" that would soon come to inhabit his body. Resenting the humiliation he felt because Buffy had made him feel like a human being, Angel took pleasure in tormenting the Slayer and her friends. The two male vampires were restrained while the Immortal had a threesome with Darla and Drusilla, something that, incidentally, the female vampires never allowed Angelus and/or Spike to do. [21], Upon awakening, Angel, along with Faith Lehane, once again dedicated himself to redemption, this time by resurrecting his most recent victim: Rupert Giles. "[26] After leaving Ireland behind, Angelus and Darla cut a bloody swath through Wales and Northern England before reaching London in 1760. [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. [64], Later, Angel and his teammates uncovered the Shanshu Prophecy. Angel drinks from Buffy, nearly killing her. After having sex with Darla on top of Drusilla, Angelus finally pushed her over the edge into complete insanity. 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]. The conversation shifted to Buffy's future, and whether Angel would be a part of it romantically. [26], Demonology and occult aptitude: Because of his age, Angel had immense knowledge of both demonology and history (on occasion rivaling that of Giles and Wesley). After The Oracles a link to The Powers That Be confirm he is human again, Angel and Buffy spend a blissful night together. Angel and Faith then traveled to Peru to retrieve the Crown of Coils from a demons' lair. [24], After Faith's choice to go on her own away from London, Giles informed Angel that he was also leaving for San Francisco to return to Buffy, something he had been expecting. Buffy's friends were angry and disappointed when they discovered that Angel had returned and Buffy had not told them. In the episode "I Will Remember You," Angel becomes human, much to his and Buffy's emotional and physical satisfaction. The two give in to their passions and engaged in airborne sex, subsequently finding themselves in a paradise dimension: Twilight. Buffy aided him in secret, fostering his rehabilitation. He stated to Giles that "helping the helpless" was a redundant saying since everyone, including yourself, was at one point helpless and they would eventually need someone as well. He went to a tavern, where, drunk once more, he caught the eye of a seemingly affluent woman. "[183] Doyle attempted to offend Angel describing his forehead as "overhanging. However, Angel and Faith were able to contain Illyria long enough for Fred to regain control, Angel reflecting that, despite the complications of Illyria's return, he was grateful that Fred had been restored. When Angel and Spike fought over the Cup of Perpetual Torment supposedly the key that would determine which of them was the true vampire champion Spike told Angel: "You had a soul forced on you. [11], Liam took the name "Angelus," presumably inspired by his sister's mistaken belief that he was an angel. Though initially reluctant to deceive Buffy, Angel assumed the identity of "Twilight" and gathered a cabal of those most likely to oppose the Slayer army, consisting of several demons, members of the United States military such as General Voll, and Lieutenant Moulter, as well as Buffy's old enemies Warren Mears and Amy Madison, and her ex-boyfriend Agent Riley Finn, the latter of whom was acting as a double agent for Buffy, though "Twilight" was aware of this fact. Believing he was talking to him, the dragon came to believe its own name was Cordelia.[111]. [10] Born Liam in 1727 in Galway, Ireland, [11] he was sired by Darla in 1753, [12] taking the name Angelus, he earned notoriety as the worst vampire in history. [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. His mission was complicated by the deaths of the Demon Lords who had taken control over areas of Los Angeles. [93][94] After fighting and defeating the "Beastmaster," the former Power That Be known as Jasmine,[95] Angel was offered the Los Angeles branch of Wolfram & Hart as their thanks for ending world peace by killing Jasmine. However, after meeting with Nadira whose magical mutation had stabilized and who appeared to possess some insight into the workings of "Magic Town" Angel began to work with her, her insights directing him to locations where he could do specific good, such as preventing Pearl acquiring bottled magic. [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. After the destruction of Sunnydale High,[58] Angel departed for Los Angeles. Gunn manages to make it to the meeting point, the alley behind the Hyperion Hotel, where he, Angel, Spike, and Illyria engaged in battle with the dark armies that the Senior Partners had sent against them. In the wake of the fight, Angel continued to shift between the three presences, much to Spike and Faith's concern. While searching for her, Archaeus and Drusilla confronted him and temporarily reverted him back to Angelus,[148] before he managed to collect himself. "[91] In contrast, the time he had lost his soul in 1997, he kept his most recent name and reaffirmed his identity as "Angel. [147], Having returned to Magic Town, Angel explained the situation to Faith and Fred after Archaeus managed to abduct Nadira. In reality, Angel's sire, Darla, had tricked Joyce Summers into inviting her inside and then bit her. [155], For most of his ensouled depression, Angel's opinion of people was mostly uncaring and negative despite his newfound guilt for his sins. Me, I fought for my soul, went through the demon trials, almost did me in a dozen times over, but I kept fighting.
