Angel's Biography

Angel was born in Galway, Ireland in 1753 with the name Liam. He was something of a wild child, causing his father a great deal of disappointment. It was during a binge that he met a strange woman named Darla. She promised to show Liam the world, and she did it by making him a vampire. For the next 100 years, Darla and Angelus fed across the world, bringing Drusilla and later, Spike into their “family.” In 1898, he killed a gypsy girl who was the daughter of a Romany tribe; the tribe cursed him by restoring his soul. He ended up in New York City in the 1990’s, where the demon, Whistler, found him and persuaded him to help Buffy. Buffy and Angel fell in love, and when they made love on Buffy’s seventeenth birthday, Angel lost his soul again. It turned out the curse would be removed if Angel ever experienced a moment of true happiness. Angelus wreaked havoc on Buffy and the gang, until Buffy killed him to stop Acathla from sucking the world into hell. A few months later, Angel returned to earth, though not through his efforts. He and Buffy eventually got back together. Despite their obvious love for each other, it was Joyce who persuaded him that he could not give Buffy the life she deserved. Angel stayed to help defeat the Mayor at Graduation Day and then left for Los Angeles. Once moving to L.A., Angel dedicated himself to being a savoir of the innocent. Rescuing those in need, helping the helpless, it all became his mission to atone for his crimes. His work has never been without trouble or conflict. Everyday, Angel puts his life on the line for others.
