He was willing to sacrifice Willow to keep the Gavrok Spiders from the Mayor. When he had overheard that Faith had killed a man he immediately informed the Council without rehabilitating her. The Council and him barged in when Angel was reaching her and captured Faith in their van for judgment This inevitably led to Faith's total mistrust of the world and people around her. When Buffy also quit the Council he was to be deported back to England but stayed to help revealing that under the cowardly British wimp was a caring person. Once over he was sent back to the Council who found that in his care one Slayer had quit and another become rogue and now in a coma. They fired him and he became a rogue demon hunter. This hunting led him to LA where met Angel and Cordelia again. He helped them on that case and soon became one of the team in Angel Investigations. With his know knowledge of demonology he was able to provide valuable information. When Angel fired the team he regrouped the team and became a leader. He adopted fighting skills and bravery compared to his former shallow self. He then had a momentary interest in Fred who was also incredibly smart beyond her years but she fell in love with Gunn. He also felt incredibly ashamed for when he tried to kill her due to the effect of a man who could make men release their most primal aggression and dominance. He soon translated prophecies that said that Angel would kill his own son Connor. Driven crazy by the prophecies he imagined Angel committing the act over and over again. Wesley told no one else and then took Connor out for a walk where he hoped to flee and take Connor somewhere safe. However on the way his throat was slit by Holtz's follower and Connor was taken. Left to die he was eventually found and placed in a hospital. By now the rest of the team had noticed his disappearance and found the notes of the prophecy.

When he recovered he returned home with his office stuff to a darkened room with no cards from his friends. He even found out that the prophecy was false written by a demon and that he had lost everything because of it. He found himself all alone except for Wolfram and Hart lawyer Lilah who saw his potential and tried to convince him of joining them. He refused and the two slept together. They developed a strange relationship playing both sides of the game but they still genuinely loved each other. Wesley rescued Angel from the ocean by using Justine.

Although, he still has feelings for Fred, Wesley gives up hope until Fred finally confesses to her own feelings towards him. Wesley is overjoyed and the two get together. However, Fred becomes infected by the essence of an Old One, Illyria. Wesley and the gang try desperately to find a way to save Fred. As Fred slowly dies, as they try to find a way to save her, Wesley stays with Fred, watching as she slowly became weaker and eventually died in his arms. Wesley is devastated and grieving. When he learns of Gunn's involvement in Fred's death, he is furious and stabs Gunn with a scalpel. Still grieving, he is determined to kill Illyria, who is now existing in Fred's body. However, Illyria later asks for Wesley's help to help her fit into this world. Wesley agrees to help her. Because, she looks like Fred. Over his grief, Wesley becomes obsessed with Illyria. However when Illyria turns into Fred's appearance and pretends to be Fred, during her parent's visit, Wesley is overwhelmed. He orders Illyria to never pretend to be Fred ever again. Soon, he suspects that Angel has been corrupted and even played a part in Fred's death. However, he soon learns that it is an act. To get into the Circle of the Black Thorn and destroy the SP's power on earth. Wesley agrees to help Angel in this final fight, no matter the risks.

Angel and Darla. When Angel slept with Darla then told her to leave he never expected for her to return pregnant. Unsure of what was growing inside her Darla travelled the world looking for help from mystical shamans and wise demons. None were able to help her so she returned to LA to see 'Daddy' again. Everyone was shocked. Suddenly everyone was pursuing Darla to kill the baby, worship it or study it. They were chased by vampire worshippers, Wolfram and Hart scientists, hired assassins and Holtz. Strangely, Connor was human with a soul and Darla briefly became good. When he was finally born in the rain she staked herself afterwards. Baby Connor was looked after by Angel and everyone at Angel Investigations who loved the little baby. Angel also got very protective and attached to Connor. However Connor was constantly under threat from Wolfram and Hart who wanted to dissect him and Holtz. When Wesley found a prophecy foretelling that Angel would kill Connor, Wesley took Connor away, but he was stopped by Holtz's follower who stole Connor. Holtz now had Connor and planned to run away to raise Connor as his own son. Holtz was trapped in a stalemate with Angel, portal demon and Wolfram and Hart. When the portal demon opened up to a hell dimension, Angel let Holtz jump through with Connor to save Connor's life. Living in a hell-dimension Connor grew up rapidly due to the time difference in this world. He knew himself as Stephen and Holtz was his father. Growing up in a hell-dimension he quickly learned to fight, developing a deep hatred to demons and vampires and had a hardened personality. When he returned through another portal along with Holtz he quickly greeted his shocked father and shot a self designed stake at him. He instantly fought against his father demonstrating his father's strength then ran out of the hotel. He returned to Holtz 'his father' and told him of his meeting with Angel. Conner was determined that Holtz was his father and that Angel like all demons were evil. Holtz convinced Conner to join with Angel so that he could learn. Conner joined with Angel momentarily but then heard that Angel had gone to kill Holtz. Holtz meanwhile had Justine kill him by stabbing two holes in his neck so it seemed like he had died from Angel. Conner arrived thinking Angel had killed Holtz and vowed vengeance. For a while he remained with Angel pretending to be happy while he planned his revenge. One night Conner met Angel at a lookout. There with the help of Justine he locked Angel into a cage. They drove out into the ocean while Angel tried to tell Conner the truth. Conner then tossed the cage with Angel into the ocean. He returned to the hotel where for the next months he pretended to be upset that Angel was gone. He kept quiet while the others worried over what may have happened to him. When the others found Angel and Conner's secret they tied him up. Angel returned and threw Conner out into the streets. Conner with no home or friends wandered the streets while Wolfram and Hart watched interested. When Cordelia returned, Conner befriended her and worked with the crew again. Then when the city was in chaos, Conner and Cordelia slept together. Conner fell in love, not realizing that Cordelia had not meant for it to happen. Conner was hurt knowing that Angel and Cordelia were in love. Thus when Cordelia revealed that she was pregnant with his child, Conner became protective of Cordelia. He saw the crew attacking Cordelia and not knowing that she was evil, he rescued her and ran off with her. Cordelia persuaded him that the crew were trying to kill the baby out of jealousy and fear. She even persuaded him to kill an innocent girl just so their baby could live. However Conner was confused with what was right and wrong. The PTB sent down an image of Darla his mother to persuade him to see the real Cordelia. However Conner was too blinded and did what Cordelia wanted. The baby is born and Conner 'falls' under its spell. However it is soon revealed that Conner is immune to Jasmine's illusion but denied it in order to make his life better.

Later, Conner and his family arrive at WFH, after Conner was hit by a van and miraculously survived. Conner does not recognize Angel, who turns them away. However, Angel reluctantly gets involved in Conner's life when the sorcerer Vail, who created Conner's new life, contacts him. Angel befriends Conner, who discovers about demons and vampires in the world. Vail wants Conner to kill Sahjan, fulfilling the prophecy. Angel hastily trains Conner, who then agrees to fight this Sahjan in order to protect his parents. During the fight, Wesley grabs Vail's Window of Orlon and smashes it, breaking Vail's spell of reality over any one near. Wesley and Illyria recover their real memories. After Conner defeats Sahjan, it seems that he was unaffected by the Window and still remembers nothing. He thanks Angel for his help but says that this life of fighting isn't for him or his family. He says good bye and leaves. Then, on the day before the final fight, Angel decides to spend his possible last moments with Conner. He visits him in a coffee shop where Conner reveals that he remembers everything, that he was affected by the Window and just pretended not to be. He understands why Angel did the spell and simply wants to leave it at that and get on with the life he has now. Angel helps Conner fill out job applications.

He originally came from the dimension Pylea where there was no music or culture which he hated. One day he found a portal and landed in LA where he loved the music and dance. A demon he had the power to read people's aura when they sang. He helped Angel occasionally with guiding them on the right path or with information. His club was destroyed several times by bombs, Gunn's former crew and fights. He reluctantly helped Angel find Cordelia who had been taken to Lorne's dimension. There he returned home to find that he was despised by his family and friends. While there he was captured by the coven who decapitated him. Fortunately his kind could still live without a body until their body is mutilated. He was saved, his body transported back home where his mother placed his body on the lice pile. Back in one piece he said goodbye to his family and returned to his true home. His club destroyed once again he gave up and decided to move into the Hyperion. After a while he left to Hollywood where he became a star and had little time to help Angel and anybody at all. However he soon became a prisoner there. The manager forced Lorne to read the audience's future and pick out the successful ones, using magic to steal their futures. He was rescued and returned with the crew. When Cordelia came back, Lorne read her but was horrified at the great evil that he saw. Wolfram and Hart attacked, stealing Lorne's information of Cordelia's reading. After that he found that he had lost his power to read. After a long time, he came across a ritual to revive his powers. Scared that Lorne would read her, Cordelia attempted to kill him. However she discovered it was a hoax to catch her in the act. Lorne is cured of Jasmine's spell. After defeating her, Lorne joins the Angel team in moving into WFH, where he happily takes over the entertainment division. However the stress of it all is soon too much more him. He has WFH remove his sleep so he can get more work done. Then, on the Halloween WFH party, Lorne is overworked, stressing over everything and struggling with keeping up his happy face. Without sleep, his empathy powers become whacked. Instead of reading people's futures, he's now writing them and anything he says, becomes so. The gang soon figure it out, just in time for Lorne's subconscious to manifest itself as a Hulk-like Lorne. They get Lorne's sleep back and Lorne finally gets to rest for a while. When Fred dies, Lorne is devastated and sinks into depression. Although, he doesn't feel happier, he continues to go to work at WFH with a happy face and song. This eventually takes it toll, along with Angel's supposed corruption, and Lorne starts to feel tired of everything. He agrees to fight with Angel in this final fight, just for old time's sake but after wards he tells Angel that he's going to leave and he won't meet the gang up in the alley. He accompanies Lindsey to kill the Sahrvins. Afterwards, he kills Lindsey with a gun. He drops the gun and walks out of the room.

As a human he was called William the Bloody because of his bloody awful poems. He was a horrible lovesick poet who followed a girl Cecile around writing poems about her. He was teased and tormented by his peers. At a party some of his 'friends' grabbed his poems and read them out loud and locked them. Cecile who heard them ran off to sit down. When William came to her and professed his love she was horrified and said he was beneath her. Humiliated William ran out on the street where he bumped into Angelus, Darla and Drusilla then ran off. Angelus had suggested to Drusilla that she find her own playmate. Drusilla went off and found William moping and turned him into a vampire. The two became lovers and he changed from being a sad poet to a vicious vampire. Changing his name to Spike he traveled the world with his 'family' and has killed two Slayers, one in China and another in New York. When Spike and Drusilla escaped from Prague where she had been seriously injured, they went to Sunnydale to find a cure. Spike tried to kill Buffy but failed. When he cured Drusilla he was injured and put in a wheel chair. Then Angel became Angelus again and Spike was jealous as Drusilla was flirting with Angelus. He teamed up with the Buffy and helped her stop Angelus. In the fight he knocked Drusilla down and carried her into the car and out of Sunnydale. However once Drusilla woke up she was furious and accused him of teaming with Buffy. She started flirting with other demons and left him. Spike returned and kidnapped Willow to perform a love spell on Drusilla but he finally decided that the only way to get her back was to be the man that she loved and left. He returned again to search for the Ring of Amara and became Harmony's boyfriend. When he found it he left her and tried to kill Buffy who grabbed the ring off him and sent it to Angel. Spike followed the ring to Angel and tortured him to get it back. He finally gave up on the ring and ran off again. He returned to Sunnydale but was instantly captured by the Initiative who planted a chip in his head that prevented him from harming humans. Getting blood from butchers he tried to stake himself but found that he could kill demons. He teamed up with the Scooby gang fighting demons for kicks. He also got back together with Harmony. To his horror he unexpectedly fell in love with Buffy who rejected him saying he was beneath her. He made Warren create a Buffy-bot which would be a programmed girlfriend. Harmony left Sunnydale and even Drusilla who came back to try to save him couldn't. He tried to impress the Slayer and even protected her sister and friends. When she died he was grieving and looked after Dawn. After she was resurrected Buffy and Spike became friends as she confided in him about her being in heaven. They soon became lovers but she broke it off when she realised she was using him. Spike tried to force himself on her and tried to rape her then left abruptly. He left Sunnydale without telling anyone and traveled to Africa where he fought against a variety of demons to show his worth. In return the demon would grant his wish. To be given his soul back... When he returned to Sunnydale he hid in the basement, taunted by ghosts and hallucinations of the First. He was insane. Buffy eventually rescued him, keeping him hostage since he was linked to the First. However, he was captured by the Bringers who used his blood to bring forth the first Ubervamp. Then the First temped Spike to take their side but he refused because Buffy believed in him. he was rescued again by Buffy from the First and stayed there helping to train the girls. However it was soon discovered that the First had a power over Spike, using a trigger that somehow sets off the vampire monster within him. His chip was no longer functioning and he was killing people without being conscious of it. His trigger was not activated for some time until the gang decided to take action to deactivate it. Entering back into his own subconscious, Spike retraced the trigger to a song that his mother sang to him when he was human. Reentering his past, he was able to sort out the trigger's power over him realizing that his mother loved him. He was almost killed by Robin Wood who was seeking vengeance for his mother, a Slayer in New York whom Spike had slain. Spike continues to help Buffy and then departs on a trip to investigate Caleb's past. After returning, Spike is furious to discover that the gang have usurped Buffy and stomps out to find Buffy. When he finds her, he delivers a speech that gives Buffy the courage to fight Caleb. They spend the night together just sleeping in each other's arms. Concerned for Buffy, Spike goes to check on her and finds her kissing Angel. He becomes jealous but is even more surprised when Buffy trustingly hands him an amulet made for a champion. He fights alongside of her in the hellmouth when the amulet begins to work. Beams of sunlight burst from the amulet destroying the ubervampires. Spike stays there with the amulet as it dusts the vampires and inevitably kills him in the end. Just before leaving Buffy tells him that she loves him and he tells her to leave before the hellmouth collapses. However, this was not the end for Spike when he mysteriously appeared in LA's Wolfram and Hart when Angel opened a letter containing the amulet that Spike had worn. He was alive again. However, he was now a ghost-like being. Non-corporeal, yet more than a ghost, Spike was trapped to haunt the LA branch while Fred tried to find a way to re-corporealize him again. Spike eventually learnt to adapt to his new self, learning to corporealize sometimes temporarily. However, one day Spike received a mail. When he opened it, a white light flashed. And he was corporeal again. Rejoiced, he learnt that a guy named "Doyle", in fact Lindsey pretending to be Doyle, had sent that mail. "Doyle" convinced Spike that the PTB wanted him to be their champion. "Doyle" gave Spike his own apartment. However, the gang and Spike soon figured out who "Doyle" really was. After that, Spike and Angel grudging worked together, both determined that they would be the champion mentioned in the Shanshu prophecies. When Fred died and Illyria was resurrected, Spike made a choice to stay and help in LA, rather than running off to find Buffy. As Illyria joined the gang, Spike became her sparring partner to test her powers. He eventually befriended her. Later, Spike and Angel found out that Buffy was being followed by The Immortal, a great evil that they had fought in the past. Both still in love with Buffy, Spike and Angel traveled all the way to Rome, only to find out that Buffy and The Immortal were lovers. They were upset and returned to LA. In the fight against the Circle, Spike slew the entire Fell Brethen before meeting with the remaining gang to fight in a final battle against the Senior Partners. The last we saw of Spike, he was running into the battle.

An Old One, Illyria was one of many pure demons which ruled over the Earth before the domination of men. Illyria was a great monarch and warrior of the demon age, feared and beloved by her minions with acolytes still existing today. She was murdered by rivals, but unlike humans the Old Ones don't die the same way. Illyria's essence was kept in a sarcophagus in the Deeper Well, a burial ground for the Old Ones, guarded by its keeper, Drogyn. Unknowing to Angel and gang, Knox was secretly an acolyte that worshipped Illyria as a God. Orchestrating Illyria's resurrection, as it was predestined, Knox chose Fred to be the "shell" in which Illyria would be reborn. The sarcophagus mysteriously disappeared from the Deeper Well, England and was transported to LA's Wolfram and Hart. It got stuck in customs, but was freed after Gunn unknowingly signed a secret deal with the WFH doctor, which allowed the sarcophagus to slip through customs and into Fred's lab. Fred was intrigued by the sarcophagus and when she touched one of the crystals embedded on it, the sarcophagus opened and released dust, which Fred inhaled. Unknown to her, she had breathed in Illyria's essence. Fred quickly fell ill, mystically, and could not be cured by any science. Within a few days, her organs would liquify leaving Fred a hollow shell for Illyria's resurrection. Angel and the gang tried desperately to find a way to cure Illyria, but in the end Fred died in Wesley's arms. As he held her body, her eyes change to a crystal blue. Her body starts convulsing, kicking Wesley across the room. When Wesley gets up, Fred is gone and replaced by Illyria possessing Fred's body, which has now become blue in her hair, eyes and edges of her face. Illyria looks at her new body and is amazed by the changes that have occured since her death, particularly the domination of humans over the Earth. Wesley attacks her with a axe and even tries to convince Illyria that this is no longer her time; that she should leave. However, Illyria throws Wesley away and becomes determined to regain her throne by ridding the Earth of humans. Later, the gang are recovering from news of Fred's death and have Knox bound and gagged. They are discussing what to do when Illyria bursts in WFH and grabs Knox. She easily overpowers the entire gang and takes Knox with her to the sarcophagus. Once there, Knox reveals that he is Illyria's Qwa'ha Xhan, her priest and guide in this new world. Illyria touches the sarcophagus' crystal and a substance spreads over her body into some sort of body suit. She is intent on changing the world back into how she left it when she died. The gang appear and try to stop her again, but Illyria reveals another power; she manipulates time so the gang are frozen in time, while Illyria moves with Knox out of there at normal time. When the effect is over, the gang are left standing wondering how Illyria disappeared so fast. Later, the gang discover that Fred's soul was destroyed in Illyria's resurrection and of Gunn's involvement. They also find out that Illyria is going to Vahla ha'nesh; her temple where she should have been resurrected. In her native form, Illyria is a huge four-armed demon with snake-like creatures coiled around the chest and dozens of snake tails at her feet. In her temple is her army of doom, entombed and waiting for her return. The temple is in LA, but out of time with the normal timestream and can only be accessed by Illyria opening a gateway. Meanwhile, Illyria and Knox are at where her temple should be. Illyria tries to open the gateway but it is blocked. Knox uses a spell with bones to unblock the gateway. Spike, Wesley and Angel arrive just in time. Wesley shoots Knox in the chest, killing him. A fight ensues and Illyria uses her time-shifting power again. Except this time, Angel is unaffected, holding a crystal from Illyria's sarcophagus. Illyria is surprised but quickly recovers. She subdues them and opens the gateway, going through it. Wesley jumps in after her right before it closes. Illyria dismisses Wesley's efforts and walks up to her temple. However, when she gets there, she's crushed. Her entire army and temple are death, left in ruins and long gone. Illyria falls to her knees as she realizes that her whole world is gone and that she's alone. Wesley appears next to her and raises his gun, just as Illyria turns to him completely defenseless. Suddenly, there's a sound behind him. Wesley turns to see that the gateway is open again. When he turns back to Illyria, she is gone. He walks back through the gateway. Later, the group are discussing what to do about Illyria. Wesley goes to Fred's lab and starts packing her things when Illyria appears and notices Wesley grieving. Wesley is angry. Illyria reveals that she has Fred's memories and that she knows that she doesn't belong her anymore; her time and world is long dead as should she be. However, she can't change that and can't bring Fred back either. Illyria asks for Wesley's help to guide and teach her to live in this new world. He agrees. As Illyria adapts to her new body and world, Wesley grieves over Fred's death. Angel is worried about Illyria's loyalty and unpredictable personality. However, Illyria becomes attached to Wesley and rescues Gunn from the hell dimension. She also starts having sparring practices with Spike so the gang can test her powers and strength. However, Illyria power to too strong to be contained in Fred's body. Unknowing to the gang, she's overloading. She experiences stomach pains and finds herself thrown throughout time in a continuous time loop because of her powers. The gang discover what is wrong and decide to use a neutralizing gun to reduce Illyria's powers. Illyria is furious and kills them all. However, she is thrown back into time again. Angel gets caught up in the time loop and discovers what is happening. When she's about to kill them for the second time, Angel manages to stop her. As she falls into more pain, her body starts to crack and blue energy glows through. Wesley uses the gun in time to neutralize Illyria, who is furious and disgusted that she is now diminished and weak. Wesley reveals that Illyria can no longer alter time or travel dimensions. Although she still has superstrength, it is lessened. Illyria is recovering in her diminished state, when the gang get a surprise visit from the Burkles; Fred's parents. Wesley struggles to break the news of Fred's death to them, when Fred walks into the room. However, it is soon clear to Wesley that it is Illyria posing as Fred. The Burkles are fooled but Wesley is obviously jarred at "Fred" being alive. When the Burkles leave, Illyria explains that she can modify her form into whatever she wants. Wesley is angry and warns Illyria never to look like Fred again. Illyria seems hurt that Wesley rejected her as "Fred". Later, Illyria is hurt that Wesley has been ignoring her ever since she assumed Fred's appearance. When she and Spike go out to patrol, they discover Drogyn, who was once Illyria's "jailer". Illyria stays with Drogyn in Spike's place. When Hamilton breaks in to take Drogyn, Illyria fights with him but in subdued and left bleeding and unconscious on the floor. The gang return to find Illyria alive but hurt. While the rest of the gang spend their day (possibly last ever) before their final fight against WFH, Wesley chooses to stay with Illyria. While Wesley bandages Illyria up, he reveals that he wants to spend his last day with Fred but that's impossible. Illyria offers to become Fred again, but Wesley knows that it would be a lie. When the gang take off to do their separate attacks, Illyria goes to kill Izzy the Devil and the other Black Thorn members. She easily kills them and then goes off to find Wesley. However when she arrives, it is too late. Wesley has been fatally stabbed by Vail. As Illyria holds Wesley dying in her arms, she asks if he would like her to lie to him now. Wesley says yes and Illyria transforms into Fred. Wesley spends his last moments with "Fred" before he dies. Meanwhile Vail has recovered. "Fred" is grieving and faces Vail, who doesn't know she is Illyria. He laughs at "Fred" and tells her to take her best shot. "Fred" throws a punch at Vail, transforming back into Illyria at the same time and smashes her fist into Vail's head. Later, Illyria arrives at the alleyway behind the Hyperion to meet the others. She tells them that Wesley is dead and that she's feeling grief that she can't seem to control. As they face the WFH army of demons, she stands next to the gang ready to fight.
