Angel (Buffy The Vampire Slayer)
Angel (formerly Angelus, previously Liam) is a fictional character created by Joss Whedon and David Greenwalt for the television programs Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. He is played by actor David Boreanaz. Angel is a 242 year old Irish vampire who is cursed with a soul, a punishment designed to make him suffer for his past crimes committed under the name Angelus, the demonic split personality of Angel. Like many characters in the Buffyverse, Angel goes through drastic changes. He starts out as a reluctant hero who stayed in the shadows, and ended up a dark, flawed, yet altruistic champion of mankind, seeking to voluntarily atone for his sins. In addition to the two television series, the character appears in the comic book continuations of both series.
As Angelus, he is the main antagonist in season two.
