Anne Steele
- She ran a teen shelter in Los Angeles. Her
path crossed with Angel's for the first time
when he discovered that Wolfram & Hart
were stealing large contributions that were
made to the shelter (Blood Money).
They met again later when Angel was
investigating rumors of renegade cops out for
blood (zombies, actually), and some teens got
involved with them (The Thin Dead Line).

Dana - Slayer. Her parents were
murdered when she was a child; the assassin kept
her with him for weeks, torturing her endlessly.
Found wandering in the streets, she was sent to
a hospital, where she stayed until the [spell] performed by Willow
awakened all Slayers in the world (Buffy/Chosen).
Unstoppable and crazy, Dana escaped and started
doing some damage in Los Angeles. Spike (soulled
and working with Angel) found her, but ended up
defeated. Dana, being totally messed up, saw him
as the torturer of her childhood and cut off his
hands; before killing him, she was stopped by
the Fang Gang. Afterwards, Andrew (and more 12
Slayers) took her to Europe, following Buffy's
orders (Damage).
Daniel "Oz"
Osbourne - See [Buffy Characters]
Denis - Ghost who used to live
in Cordelia's first apartment in Los Angeles. He
was killed by his own mother — the crazy old
woman didn't want him to date any girls, so she
walled up him in the apartment. Afterwards, she
died of a heart attack. Angel, Doyle and
Cordelia performed a ritual to free the
apartment from her, but Denis (a
friendly ghost) stayed.
Drogyn - According to the
Watchers Council, Drogyn, the battlebrand, was
given eternal youth a thousand years ago.
Demonbane, truthsayer, he was good and pure, and
for decades was the keeper of the Deeper Well.
He was killed by Angel, who had to prove his
loyalty to the Circle of the Black Thorn. He
could find anyone who once had visited the Well.
Drusilla - See [Buffy Characters]
Eve -
Wolfram & Hart's employee, Angel's liaison

bosses to help him and got fired. Probably
died when Wolfram & Hart building
collapsed after Angel killed Hamilton, the new
liaison.
Faith - See [Buffy Characters]
Gavin Park - Wolfram &
Hart's lawyer, Lilah's rival. He was murdered by
the Beast, turned a zombie and had his head cut
off by Gunn (Habeas Corpses).
Groosalugg
- Born in the demon dimension of [Pylea],with
a human appearance, he was "an animal, a beast
to his people, with the heart beating in the
wrong place", according to his own words. As
he matured, his human characteristics became
more apparent and the [Covenantof
Trombli] soon determined there could be
no mistake — there was cow's (human's) blood
in his veins. For his people to be part cow is
to be less than whole and there was nothing he
could have done to prove his worth. He was
incapable even of performing husbandly duties
with any of the females of his tribe, for he
was anatomically equipped to mate only with a
human. He was cast from his village and forced
to make his way on his own.
To put an end to his sufferings, he
entered every contest of skill and daring that
he could in an attempt to snuff out his
pathetic life. But he failed — he won every
match. He vanquished every flame beast. He
defeated every drokken. It seemed
nothing could stop him. Thus, the Covenant had
no choice but to bestow upon him the name Groosalug:
The brave — undefeated.

Glass
When Cordelia was sent to Pylea, she
was made their princess (because of her
visions) and was supposed to [Com-shuk]
with the Groosalugg, in order for her visions
to be transferred to him. It didn't happen,
but they ended up falling in love with each
other. After the [Fang
Gang] caused the old regime fall (which
gave freedom to all humans), Groo was made the
leader of his people. However, some months
later, he was forced to leave and went to Los
Angeles, looking for his beloved Cordelia.
They stayed together for a while, till Cordy
found herself in love with Angel, making a
saddened Groo leave LA for good.

Electrifying cat burglar. When she was a
child, Gwen — who couldn't touch anybody
without killing the person — was sent to an
academy for gifted children. She met the Fang
Gang when they found themselves at an auction
house in order to steal the [Axisof
Pythia] (Ground State).
Later, they met again, and she tried to help
Angel and the gang to protect one of the
totems of the [Orderof
Ra-tet] (Long Day's Journey).
In 2003, Gwen finally lost her virginity to
Gunn, after stealing a high-tech thing that
eliminated her problem (Players).

Hamilton (Marcus) - Wolfram & Hart's employee,
Angel's liaison to the Senior's Partners,
Eve's replacement. He was part of the Senior
Partners (the Wolf, the Ram and the Hart) and
his blood had their power. From Harmony, he
found out Angel's plans to destroy his bosses
and tried to kill the vampire. He didn't
succeed however — after drinking Hamilton's
blood, Angel turned as powerful as him, and
killed him. The Senior Partner's fury made the
Los Angeles Wolfram & Hart building
collapse (Not Fade Away).
Holland
Manners - Head of Wolfram & Hart
Special Projects, he was Lilah and Lindsey's
boss. Married to Catherine, he was murdered
(along with the majority of the Contracts
Department and Catherine) by Darla and
Drusilla in his own wine cellar — with the
Angel's connivance (Reunion).
Immortal - Angelus/Angel and
Spike arch-nemesis, the beautiful, intelligent,
wonderful italian known as The Immortal was
Buffy's chosen one when living in Europe, after
Sunydale's destruction. This enigmatic character
(we never saw him) climbed the Mount Everest
several times, spent 150 years in meditation in
a monastery in Tibet, wrote a book that changed
many lives e had a very, very good time with
Darla and Drusilla — the two of them could
guarantee he was an excellent lover.
The Immortal
sent Spike to jail once, framing him for not
paying taxes, made him be persecuted by an angry
mob, and in 1894 kept him and Angelus prisoners
for several hours just because the vampires
"invaded" his town.
Charming as
hell, The Immortal never made use of magick — he
considered it dirty, to Angel and Spike's
chagrin, because they were sure that Buffy had
been victim of a spell... (The
Girl in Question)
Izzy - See [Angel
Files]
Jasmine - Former [PowerThat
Be] who made her way back to our world to
set a new order, where people, although living
in peace and complete happiness, wouldn't have
free will. She was stopped by the [Fang
Gang], and killed by Connor, eventually.
"In the
beginning, before the time of man, great beings
walked the earth. Untold power emanated from all
quarters: the seeds of what would come to be
known as good and evil. But the shadows
stretched and became darkness and the malevolent
among us grew stronger. The earth became a demon
realm. Those of us who had the will to resist
left this place but we remained ever watchful.
But then something new emerged from deep inside
the earth — neither demon nor god: Man. It
seemed, for a time, that through this new race,
a balance might be restored." (Jasmine in Shinny
Happy People)
However, the
balance didn't happen, and then one of the
Powers That Be, tired of just observing and not
acting on all the suffering, decided to return
to Earth. So, she started making things happen,
things that were going to make possible her
existence in our world. Through Angel and Darla,
the first miracle: the day Lorne sent Angel and
human Darla into the trials to earn a new chance
at life for her (The Trial),
Connor's life was made possible, since Angel did
earn a life but Darla couldn't use it because
she was already living her second chance. From
then on, all events unfolded for the Power That
Be might re-enter this physical plane. The chaos
that preceded her arriving — the Beast, the
blocking of the sun, Angelus — were just birth
pains.
This Power
That Be — whose real name was a mystery — used
Cordelia's body to leave the high plane, and
having power over her, made Cordy have sex with
Connor, thus creating a new life: the Power That
Be would give birth to herself. After her birth
(which left Cordelia in a coma), all people who
saw her started immediately to adore her,
without questioning, and that was what happened
with the Fang Gang. Taken to the Hyperyon, she
was named Jasmine because she liked the
fragrance of the flower. After an interview on
TV (seen just in the Los Angeles area), all
population of the city fell under her thrall,
becoming all shiny happy people as well as her
followers; Jasmine's plan was to spread all this
happiness through the world by having a
worldwide broadcasting interview soon.
However, not
all were flowers. After Fred had her blood mixed
up with Jasmine's (the girl was trying to clean
Jasmine's blood-stained blouse so hard that her
fingers bled), the true, horrible face of
Jasmine was revealed: maggots and worms squirmed
in the rotting flesh of her face and in her
empty eye sockets. Besides, Jasmine ate people —
followers she randomly used to choose to come to
her room.
Eventually,
Fred figured out how people could see the true
Jasmine (by mixing their blood), and managed to
have Angel back to normal. Next, the two of them
used Cordelia's blood (Jasmine's "mother") to
open the eyes of Wesley, Gunn and Lorne. On
Connor, the trick didn't work; later, he himself
confessed that he, having grown up in a hell
dimension, always saw Jasmine's true face and
didn't care, what he wanted was to be happy —
and Jasmine provided that.
The Fang Gang
was persecuted by Jasmine and her faithful
followers ruthlessly; she and they became one
body, and through them she saw and talked with
the "rebels", not giving them a rest. Wesley,
Gunn, Lorne and Fred ended up captured, but
Angel managed to escape.
After finding
out about the first worshippers of Jasmine — big
bugs from another dimension, older than ours,
that called her The Devourer
— Angel paid a visit to their home and brought
to earth the Keeper of Jasmine true name (or its
head, at least), and, when he/it screamed it
(right before Jasmine's worldwide interview),
the spell was reverted, making people see what
Jasmine really was, abandoning her in
desperation.
Afterwards,
chaos returned to Los Angeles, the total
happiness was gone, but people were free again
to make choices. Connor, who wanted desperately
believe in Jasmine, couldn't cope with the end
of the lie, killed her and ran away.
Landok -
Landokmar of the Deathwok Clan, Lorne's
cousins, warrior in Pylea, drokken
killer. Came to our dimension through a portal

accident.
Lee Mercer
- Wolfram & Hart's evil lawyer; he was in
charge to annoy Angel before Lindsay and Lilah

read, he was shot to death by his boss Holland
Manners because he was in "secret talks with
Klein & Gabler, planning taking clients
with him when he left (Wolfram & Hart) to
join them" (Blind Date).
Linwood
Murrow - President of Wolfram & Hart
Special Projects, replaced Nathan Reed. As he
had his children taken by the firm, Murrow

cut his head off during a staff meeting, with
approval from the Senior Partners (Deep
Down).
Marcus -
Sadistic vampire hired by Spike to torture
Angel in order for him to tell where he had

the torture, he liked classical music and to
eat children (as well as do other nasty things
with them). He was dusted by Angel (In
the Dark).
Merl -
Was the demon snitch for Angel and friends. He
always had a good tip for the good guys, in
exchange for some money. The poor guy was once
tied upside down by Angel, in the sewers of
Los Angeles, because the vampire was very
moody. Cordy and Wesley forced Angel to
apologize, but he, instead of being natural,
read a text for Merl, who ended up very hurt.
Beaten, humiliated and treated like crap, he
had a sad ending — he was slaughtered by
bigoted humans (That Old Gang of Mine).
Nina Ash
- Werewolf, Angel's girlfriend. She knew all

Penn -
Young man sired by Angelus in the late 1700s.
They remained "friends" until Angelus was
cursed with a soul (in 1898) and left Penn
waiting for him in Italy to no avail. Angelus
made Penn bite his own sister as his first
kill and afterwards, convinced him to kill the
rest of his family. In 2002, Penn appeared in
Los Angeles and started killing using an old
Angelus' custom: to sign his victims by
carving a Christian cross into their left
cheek. Angel started having dreams about being
killing people again, but in fact, it was his
connection with Penn that caused the dreams.
Penn ended up staked by Detective Kate
Lockley.

Seidel (Oliver) - Professor who
opened, in 1997, a portal to send his assistant
and pupil Winifred Burkle to the hell dimension
[Pylea],because
he felt threatened by her intelligence. Seidel
got rid off several other students using
portals. In 2002, Fred found out the truth about
Seidel, and to get her revenge, opened a portal
to do the same thing he had done to her.
However, her boyfriend Gunn intervened and
killed the Professor (Supersymmetry).
The
Beast - Emerged from bellow, on the
very spot Darla gave birth to Connor — a dark
alley in Los Angeles. It was 8 feet tall, had
long curving horns; a really demonic figure.
The Fang Gang tried to stop the monster (at
Sky Temple Club), but failed; then, it made
rain fire over Los Angeles, in which seemed
the end of the world. After killing all [Wolfram&
Hart's] lawyers, and hunting down the
five totems of the [Orderof
the Ra-Tet], the Beast performed a
ritual in Connor's place, blocking the sun,
and making Los Angeles an amusement park for
all kind of demons. Although powerful and
apparently invincible, the Beast was just a
lackey for its Master — which turned out to be
Cordelia. Angelus killed the monster, using a
weapon made from its own bones, and the sun
returned to California.
Tina -
First damsel in distress Angel was assigned
