Although not the coolest guy in Sunnydale, Xander is one of the sweetest. Having a longing crush on Buffy (and a longing hate with Angel), Xander finally moved on to the unlikely option of Cordelia. Although they did finally break up we see Xander in a new light, a romantic. Although having some slaying experience, he is just as frightned of vampires as the next guy, but not letting this get in his way too often he has done some slaying to be proud of. Not joining the rest of the Scoobys in college he found steady work as a builder, and almost married Anya, but stood her up, fearing he too will turn into his own father. His shining moment came however when he managed to save the world, and his best friend, proving himself as a true member of the scooby gang. His happiness however was short lived, losing an eye to Cable.
