Spike's Biography
Spike's original name, when he was human, was William. He was a sweet, lovesick poet who still lived with his mother. He was given the nickname William the Bloody because of his “bloody awful poetry.“ His passion and inspiration was a snobby woman named Cessily, and she was the beginning of Spike's unluck with love. In that same year, right after being rejected by Cessily, he was sired by Drusilla, a dark haired vampire who's a little insane. He joined Drusilla's small group, the other members being Angel and Darla, and adopted the name Spike due to his love for torturing his victims with railroad spikes. Spike did the vamp thing for a while, hunt, fight, kill, drink, but then he discovered the Slayer. It gave him a purpose and he hunted her down. The first one he killed was a petite Asian girl in China, during the Boxer Rebellion. The second, a Slayer with attitude, in the 1970‘s, on a subway train in New York. After snapping her neck, he took her coat. He tried multiple times to kill Buffy, but to no avail. Spike left Sunnydale and returned for a couple of nights with a plan to get Dru back, because she left him for a Chaos demon. But she leaves him again, this time for a fungus demon. Once again, Spike returns to Sunnydale and hooks up with Harmony. But Sunnydale was then housing a secret military branch called 'The Initiative', who plant a chip in his head that zaps him if he tries to hurt a human. Feeling highly frustrated with not being able to kill, plus all the impotent jokes, when he discovers that he can kill demons he makes it a hobby, occasionally helping Scoobies for cash. Over time, he slowly falls in love with Buffy, making him even more frustrated. He then rejects Drusilla and Harmony. He has a Buffy sex-robot built to allow him to fulfill his kinky fantasies. Unfortunately for Spike, the real Buffy came across the robot, and took it from him. He then proves himself to Buffy when he is tortured by Glory but keeps quiet to save Buffy's little sister, Dawn. He swears to protect Dawn from harm and when he fails and Buffy has to sacrifice her own life, Spike is riddled with guilt. When Buffy is resurrected by her friends, her and Spike grow close when she confides in him about her life after death, and after a strange musical experience, they finally kiss. Buffy begins a secretive sexual relationship with Spike. After she ended it, he tried to initiate sex with her again, and ended up attempting to rape her. Horrified, he went to Africa in search of something to remove the chip from his brain. Instead his human soul was returned. He's now residing in the basement of the new Sunnydale High. With some help from Buffy, he managed to get out of the basement and return to form. With his soul returned, he tried to help Buffy and co as much as he could. Though there were conflicting thoughts on what he should be doing, which weren't helped by The First playing with his mind. But he managed to get by that too and turned out to be the only one to destroy the hellmouth. Using an amulet brought to Sunnydale by Angel, wearing it in conjunction with his soul destroyed the hellmouth along with Sunnydale and himself.
