Angel-Angelus

==Summary==
Angel was one of the most well-known vampires in all of vampiric history, legendary for both his savage villainy and his great heroism. Born Liam in 1727 in Galway, Ireland, he was sired by Darla in 1753, taking the name Angelus, he earned notoriety as the worst vampire in history. Both the Master and the First Evil recognized and appreciated how purely evil Angelus was. He was also known as the One with the Angelic Face because of his physical beauty. However, in 1898, Angelus was cursed by the Kalderash people as vengeance for killing their favorite daughter. They returned his soul, forcing him to live eternally in guilt over the countless crimes he had committed.
In the late 20th century, Angel, as he began calling himself, became an ally and lover of the current Slayer, Buffy Summers. After the two were forced to realize their limitations as a couple, Angel left Buffy and moved to Los Angeles. Believing that even someone as damned as him possessed the potential to become a harbinger of good and redemption, he became a Champion and dedicated himself to "helping the helpless" with the Angel Investigations in the hope of achieving atonement.
Eventually, Angel adopted the identity of the masked Twilight and gathered a cabal of humans and demons who had become wary of the rise of multiple Slayers. As Twilight, Angel sought to keep these forces distracted as well as make Buffy grow more focused and stronger, and at the same time, try to keep the deaths as low as he could. When Angel came to his senses and rebelled against the real Twilight, it possessed him and fought Buffy in the ruins of Sunnydale, where she stopped Twilight by destroying the Seed of Wonder, causing the end of magic. After being purged of Twilight, Angel fell into a catatonic state.
Upon awakening, Angel, along with Faith Lehane, once again dedicated himself to redemption, this time by resurrecting his most recent victim: Rupert Giles. He eventually succeeded, and was soon after forced into conflict by the maddened Whistler, who wished to restore magic to the world by unleashing a mystical plague, even if it meant killing billions of people. Angel managed to reason with him, causing Whistler to give up his life by sacrificing himself. Once the world was saved, Angel decided to stay in London and help the people in the newly created Magic Town.

He demonstrated these skills most notably by causing Drusilla to lose her mind. Angel also had experience with magic. He was capable of casting spells, exorcisms, and dispelling spells, but preferred to rely on the expertise of others rather than perform them himself if the option was available. He also, with the wisdom of age, possessed a great knowledge of demonology and history, sometimes rivaling that of Giles and Wesley in these matters. He also had a photographic memory and never forgot anything he saw.)
