Doyle
(Allen Francis) - Half human, half demon, Irish Doyle was sent by the
[Powers
That Be] in order to help Angel to fight Evil.
Doyle was raised
human — his mother didn't tell him about his father being a demon, and
he has never met him. He only found out about his demon side (he was a
Brachen demon) when he came of age — and it was very hard for him to take
this heritage.
Soon after
his discover, he started having visions that showed people/demons in danger.
When he got them for the first time, he thought he was having a stroke,
he didn't know what the images meant, and thus, he ended up not keeping
a relative of his, Lucas, and his clan, from being slaughtered by the Scourge,
an army of pureblooded demons that hated half-breeds like Doyle himself.
Later, when already working with Angel, Doyle died heroically, trying to
stop the same group, which intended to kill every creature contaminated
by human blood. He had a crush on Cordelia and, before sacrificing himself,
he kissed her and transferred to her his visions (Hero).
He was married
to the ethno-demonologist Harry for a while; she walked out on him because
he became impossible to live with after he found out he was part demon.
One day, she showed up in Los Angeles in order for him to sign the divorce
papers — Harry was about to marry Richard Howard Straley, an Ano-Movick
demon. However, the fiancé's clan had a strange ritual that meant
eating the brain of the fiancée's ex-husband at the bachelor party,
that is, Doyle's brain — which almost happened, if Angel hadn't intervened
in time.
He liked to
gamble and used to have problems because of it.
Fred
(Winifred Burkle) -
Gunn
(Charles)
-
Illyria
- Old One, a great monarch and warrior of the Demon Age, murdered by rivals
and left adrift in the Deeper Well. After millions of years, resurrected
in 2004, taking Fred's body as his shell. Tried to rise his Army of Doom,
but failed, because his soldiers were long dead. Had most of his powers
taken away by a weapon built by Wesley, what kept him from exploding. Unwillingly,
at first, joined the Fang Gang and, eventually, helped them fight the Senior
Partners — probably dying in the final battle.
Lorne/Krevlornswath
- Came from a dimension called [Pylea],
a place he hated because there was no music, art or feelings there. In
Pylea, where he was known as Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan, humans
were called "cows" and treated as such.
Lorne would
have done anything to get out of Pylea — and one day he got lucky: on May
7, 1996, he was in the woods, when suddenly right in front of him, out
of nowhere, a portal appeared and through it Lorne came to our dimension,
ending up in an abandoned building in Los Angeles. His vanishing was a
great mystery to his clan; it was hoped that he had sought atonement by
forfeiting his life in the sacrificial canyons of Trelinsk.
After leaving
his homeland, Lorne returned to Pylea just once, in order to help Angel,
Wesley and Gunn rescue Cordelia, who was sent there by mistake. His people
didn't like to see him again, at all, since he clearly had not forfeited
his life in the sacrificial canyons of Trelinsk... From Pylea, the gang
also rescued a human girl named Fred, who had been living in that hell
dimension for 5 years.
Lorne is also
known as The Host because he used to run in Los Angeles a karaoke bar called
[Caritas],
where humans and demons could drink and sang in harmony (or cacophony,
depending on how badly, like Angel, they sang...) — by listening people
sing, Lorne can read their auras and tell their innermost intentions; he
himself loves to sing and has a wonderful voice.
After having
his Caritas destroyed (twice), Lorne goes to live at the [Hyperion
Hotel], with Angel, baby Connor and Fred. Several times, he baby-sits
Connor, whom he is very fond of. However, after being kidnapped by Holtz
and taken to a hell dimension, Connor (or Stephen) comes back weeks later,
but as a 16-year-old teen who hates demons and vampires. Lorne, feeling
uncomfortable and wanting to pursue a singing career, anyway, then leaves
Los Angeles for Las Vegas.
However, in
Las Vegas Lorne doesn't have much luck; he does get a good job at The Tropicana
casino (as its main attraction), but at a high price. Its owner, Lee DeMarco,
finds out that the green demon is able to read people's minds while they
sing, and starts forcing him to do it in order to steal people's (good)
futures. Lorne agrees with the deal after Lee kills one of his Lornettes
(the girls who perform with him in the show). He is set free when the [Fang
Gang] goes to Las Vegas, to visit him and attend his show at The Tropicana.
Back to Los Angeles, the group finds Cordelia, who has been missing for
months, standing at the entrance of the Hyperion (The House Always
Wins). As Cordy is with amnesia, Angel asks Lorne to read her mind;
he does it and has a terrifying vision of the future. Soon afterwards,
[Wolfram
& Hart] attacks Lorne and steals this piece of information from
his mind, leaving the poor demon in a very bad condition (Slouching
Towards Bethlehem).
Later, on an
attempt to restore Cordy's memory, Lorne tries a spell on her that goes
awfully wrong — all Fang Gang (but Lorne) loses their memories, becoming
their 17-year-old personas again. Eventually, Cordy has her memory restored
(Spin the Bottle).
After fighting
and beating the Beast and Jasmine, Lorne, along with all Angel's team,
Lorne accepts the Wolfram & Hart's proposal, and starts working at
the entertainment department of the firm.
Sometimes,
it's too much work; the poor green demon ends up getting exhausted, and
without any sleep (he got it removed magically), he awakens his sunconscient
— a BIG one, by the way (very much like The Hulk), causing some trouble
to his friends. Not to mention that any wish made by him immediately turns
real... (Life of the Party).
In the end
(fighting the Senior Partners and the Circle of the Black Thorn), Angel
gives him a very important task — to exterminate the Sahrvin Clan and kill
Lindsey McDonald. Lorne accomplishes his task and leaves: according to
him, he had already done enough (Not Fade Away).
