== Character Biography ==
Angel was turned into a vampire by Darla roughly 240 years before the series takes place. He was known as Angelus in the period immediately following his transformation. 
Like many vampires, he lacked a conscience after becoming undead, and killed his own family and his neighbours. He travelled Europe looking for more victims. There, he killed a Roma girl, whose family retaliated by using a spell to restore his conscience to him. Afterwards, despite being a vampire, he refused to drink human blood. He changed his name from Angelus to Angel, and in the early 20th century emigrated to America. 
In the town of Sunnydale in the 1990s, he reunited with Darla and The Master who offered to bring him back into the fold. He refused this offer. He took a liking to Buffy, and started protecting her. He helped her fight three vampires sent by The Master, and warned her that The Master was attempting to take advantage of The Harvest to establish himself in Sunnydale. He was later injured and Buffy helped look after him, falling in love with him in the process. 
While they were dealing with vampires Spike and Drusilla, Angel and Buffy had sex, with the pure happiness Angel felt breaking his curse, causing him to revert back to the soulless Angelus.
