INFORMATION
-
The country farm boy, turned teaching assistant
was a psychology major at U.C. Sunnydale, but there was more to Riley
Finn than it initially appeared. His interest in Buffy was a romantic
one, and he pursued the Slayer for weeks. Buffy returned his affection
and when the Gentlemen came to town and stole the voices of the
townsfolk, both Buffy and Riley took to the streets to discover how and
to restore the voices. In the battle that followed, Riley's secret was
revealed: he was part of the Initiative, and underground Governmental
program that captured and detained 'subhumans' and experimented on them
with behaviour modification techniques. It was all a front, however, for
the secret creation of Adam, the ultimate weapon, and Riley,
disillusioned and outlawed by his comrades, joined forces with his
girlfriend and her allies. After Adam was defeated, Riley felt isolated
by Buffy and turned to vampires for comfort. He felt pleasure from their
bite and their draining of his blood and hen Buffy found out, she was
disgusted. Riley, fearing his relationship was over, gave Buffy a
choice: to come after him, or to leave him go. That night, Riley left
with the government troops left to travel to Belize to stop demons
believing Buffy had let him go. In fact, she had missed him by seconds.
A year later, Riley returned, married, and discovered Buffy's affair
with Spike. Despite all this, they departed on friendly terms.
