Angel, an Irishman born in the early 1700s. Angelus was more of a bad guy who was more intrested in drinking then do a honest day's work. One day after a drinking binge he encountered a Vampire named Darla who turned him into a vampire. Although he never left Galway as a human as a vampire he traveled a lot. In 1860 he murdered the Family of a girl name Drusilla. He drove her mad then eventualy he turned her into a vampire. In Romania in 1898 he killed the favorite daughter of a Romany Tribe and cursed by the Elders of the tribe. The Curse: his soul would be returned to him to forever suffer for the crimes he commited as a Vampire.
From that point he Suffered a lot. He wandered to New York City and winding up as a homeless person in the 1990s. A demon in NY encouraged Angel to become something. Angel traveled to California and decided to help the Slayer. At First his help came in the form of cryptic advice. Evntualy He and Buffy grew closer and closer as friends. He then Revealed himself as a vampire and he has his soul back. He has become a important part to the crew.
Evntualy Buffy and Angel feel for each other. The Comsumated the relationship on Buffy's 18th birthday. He had a moment of joy which lifted the curse on Angel and Angel now became Angelus again. He remained Un-souled until Willow found a spell to give him back is soul but it wasn't in time he got back his soul but after Buffy Stabbed him and sent him to hell to prevent the world from being destroyed. Angel somehow was transported back to Earth and Buffy hid him from the group. Evntualy the group found out when Xander who was spying on Buffy found out. He was his orgianal self again. Buffy and Angel did get back together as a couple but soon Angel broke it off with her once he thought he would cause her to much pain. He said he would leave after the Mayors Accension on Graduation day. That is just what he did. He moved to LA to help people in need. Along with Cordelia who is a strugeling actress, who is helping Angel, Also a half-human half-demon called Doyle are to help the people of LA Human or non. Human.
With Doyle gone and Wesley Windam Pryce taking his place Angel continues his quest. At the end of season one we found out that Angel could become human once agian from a scroll he stole from Wolfram and Hart. Late in season one also Angel helped a man named Gunn with his Vampire troubles and Gunn has helped Angel with some other problems. This season Gunn has joined the group of Angel Investigations. At the season finale we found out that Wolfram and hart resserected Darla...Angel's sire.
In season two Angel has been going nuts thinking he's seen Darla and finnaly relizes it's her and she back in human form. She has been invading his dreams and haunting him. Angel's connection with the powers that be were killed he found a new place a karaoke bar. The host is a psychic who can read minds and help guide people. When Darla relized she is going to Die Angel tried doing anything to help her he was even read to die for her but when she couldn't be healed, Wolfram and Hart brought in Drusilla to re-sire Darla, but during all this Angel went dark he wasn't Angel and he wasn't exactly Angelus ethir. He fired Gunn, Wesley and Cordy. After Darla and Dru both skipped down after Angel nearly burned them and humilated them and After his now not so archenemy Lindsey left Wolfram and Hart and LA Angel said he wants to work for the rest of Angel Investiagations and is still trying to help people and deal with Wolfram and Hart. Now Angel Investigations are searching for a girl name Fred in Pylea, The Host's home world. Meanwhile trying to save themselves and Cordy. Well eventualy Angel finds Fred and Cordelia and finds out Cordelia has become a Queen because of her visions. They found Cordy, found Fred but how to get home. When going through one of the castle's libraries in a shocking revelation there were 3 books Wesley found which helped them get home but the revelation wasn't about getting home, it was what was on the covers. A Wolf, a Ram and a Deer...no wait..a male deer...a Hart...Wolf Ram Hart...Wolfram and Hart...Wow they really do get around. Anyway...the crew gets back to LA only to end the season with seeing Willow on the Couch and Angel knows that something is wrong with Buffy, and there was something wrong she was dead. We didn't get to see much of Angel's grieving process, infact it was barely even menchened when he came back from a spirtual journey cause of Buffy's death.
After Buffy is brought back from the dead, the two have a secret meeting which we do not get to see and have no idea what happened between the two. Both Angel and Buffy were very hush hush on the details, but now Angel had something bigger happen to him much bigger. Turns out that after Angel and Darla had sex that she was pregnant. Which is impossible for vampires. It was deciphered in a scroll that a evil would come but it wasn't the baby. It was Holtz a vampire hunter that used a method of time travel of sorts to get to the 21st Century. So being on the run from everyone who wants the baby, wolfram and hart, and Holtz the Angel team has had their hands full. When the baby did come Darla staked herself to have the baby. With everyone wanting this Child, Angel and crew did what they could to protect baby Connor. When Wesley began to translate some ancient scrolls it discovered that it translated to "The Father will kill The Son." Wes got nervous when signs began point in the right direction. Wes took Angel's child, but when Christine takes the child and because of Sahjahan, Connor and Holtz end up in a hell dimenion. Angel did all he could to find his child. Soon the portal opens again in the Hyperion with a teenage boy coming out saying to Angel "Hi Dad" With Holtz giving Connor one story and then Angel giving another, Connor was confused in what he should do. Eventualy trapping Angel in a metal box and sending him to the bottom of the ocean.
Angel was eventualy saved by Wesley of all people. He told Connor to not come back. Then his focus was on Cordy to find her. They went to Vegas to find Lorne and rescue him. Eventualy Cordelia reappears with out any of her memories. They recently did a spell to try and get it back but the whole group ended up as their younger selves but in their older bodies. A creature known only as The Beast would appear and bring the reign of fire first and then eternal darkness to L.A. During the reign of fire Cordelia and Conner tend to get it on an Angel sees this. The beast says he knows Angelus. Knowing the Beast is pretty much unbeatable, the A-team decides to extract Angel's soul, to get Angelus back to find out what he knowns about the beast. When it happens Angelus says he knowns nothing and shares very little with the crew, other than the point of The Beast wanting to team up with Angelus back in the day. When the suposedly put Angel's soul back in, he says that he wan't to stay in the cage just incase. Lorne believes it's the real Angel, well when Cordelia goes to unlock the cage, we find out Angel is still Angelus. Angelus begins to go on a spree of chaos, like his days in Sunnydale and before. Meanwhile Cordelia kills Lilah, saying that she let Angelus out on purpose. Wesley after deciding they need help with Angelus, they decide to get the only one who can. Faith. Wes helps Faith break out of jail, because of him telling her something is wrong with Angel, knowing that he helped her, she wants to help him. Faith has trouble getting into the fighting groove as she gets her butt kicked by Angelus, but not before Angelus is the one who kills the beast, with his own weapon, bringing sunlight back. Which is a drawback for himself. Faith during her last fight with Angelus injects some rather deadly tranqulizer for Angelus when he sinks his teeth into her. Fred ends up calling Willow to have her help with finding Angel's soul that had gone missing and restore it to Angel. Meanwhile in both Angelus' concious and Faiths' they go through memories of Angel. What he did during the 30's and 50's as he had his soul. Angelus can't stand it. In a weird turn of events Angelus can't touch Faith there and a fight between Angel, the rat chasing New York Version and Angelus happens. Conner had been told by Cordelia who is apprently pregnant with "Conner's child" that he needs to kill Angel and to do it now. Faith wakes up just in time to stop Conner from killing Angel. She whoops up on him good and saves Angel who now has his soul back. Willow takes Faith back with her to Sunnydale to help with the strugle with The First. Cordelia reveals the the gang that she is pregnant and everyone goes "whoa." At one point Cordelia decides she needs to have this "baby" so Cordelia decideds to do a sacrafice to give birth to her baby. Conner strugles with this as Darla comes back in spirit form to talk to her son and convince him to do the good thing, but in the end in fails. When Angel finds out the only way to prevent whatever might be coming out of Cordy is to kill her, he finds them and fights with Conner again and right as he's about to a rather beautiful black woman appears as then Conner and Angel bow down to her ready to do whatever. Conner and Angel come back to the Hyperion and have this woman meet the gang. They too swoon for the beauty. When they go out people began to do the same except for one who tries to kill her, but fails. Fred goes to clean the shirt that she was wearing and after scrubbing and scrubbing she can't get the blood out buys a new shirt, but when she goes to bring it to her, Fred is the first to see her as her true form, a hideous disgusting worm and bug ridden person. Fred runs. While soon filled with people wanting to be with her. Soon she recieves the name Jasmine. Angel and crew fight for her, fight for world peace. When Fred during a confrentation shoots Jasmine and the bullet goes through Jasmine then Angel. Angel sees the truth also. Angel and Fred use Cordy's blood, who's in a coma to get Gunn, Lorne, and Wes to see the light also. They try on Conner but he has already seen her but doesn't reject her. The five become fugitives running from Jasmine. When in the sewers the crew find a band of young teens who are fighting vampires and demons in the sewers. There is one that is picking them off and Angel and team decide to help. Wes gets captured by the weird looking demon and says "we liked her first". Angel comes to save Wes and he reveals that the only way to break Jasmine's spell is to find out it's name. Angel goes to an alternate dimension to find out, leaving the rest to be captured by Conner and the Armed forces for Jasmine. The crew finds out she's been eating people so she can reach the whole world to give her message. Angel strugles in the alternate dimension and decapitates the demon who has his mouth sealed. He travels back to the Hyperion just intime right before Jasmine was about to go worldwide and reveals the true form of Jasmine and breaks the spell. Angel and Jasmime later fight on the streets,but is seriously strong. When Conner appears she asks him to help and instead just smashes her head in. When Angel gets back to the Hyperion they find Lilah has returned to make them an offer. Seeing they ended world peace as she likes to call it, they offer Angel, Wolfram and Hart. The L.A Branch so to speak. The crew goes on a tour (see character profiles for each one's personal tour) Angel gets to see what his office would be and Angel is very skeptic about this. She opens the curtins letting sunlight in, letting us think that it might be Sanshu prophecy but nope it's just glass that doesn't burn vampires. She also gives him a file labled Sunnydale and a amulet. She withholds info on how to find Cordelia who has been hidden and Conner. When turning on the TV, Angel was impressed but saw Conner and was holding people hostage in a sporting goods store. Angel threatens Lilah for some deal arrangements and suddenly Angel appears at the store to stop Conner and he goes, he frees the people and sees Cordy is there too. It looks as if Angel was indeed to kill Conner but we don't know. As the group reforms Angel comes back and tells them they accepted the deal. They own the L.A branch of Wolfram and Hart. Lilah gives Angel the file and amulet again and asks to see Conner. She says she can't allow it, but in the end she says a Limo will be waiting. As Angel walks out, Fred asks "Who's Conner?" The limo pulls up to a house and sees that Conner is with a family talking about SATs and college, as if he's always been there. Angel leaves and heads off to Sunnydale. Angel arrived in Sunnydale in deliever the amulet for the final battle against the First in Sunnydale. In which he did and exclaimed "how he missed watching this" while he watched Buffy battle Caleb. Later he smelled the trace of Spike on her and she exlaimed about his soul and stuff. Angel wasn't happy really. Buffy excliamed to Angel that she was cookie dough and wasn't baked yet. Angel said he'd be waiting and wasn't getting an older. With that he went back to L.A. to form the 2nd front and most likely deal with the recent aquirment of Wolfram and Hart.
Now with Angel, Fred, Wes, Lorne and Gunn in charge of Wolfram and Hart. They began to do whatever they could do to purge the evil from the L.A. Branch. When Angel gets a package with the amulet from Sunnydale and a old friend shows back up...Spike. Spike is back and is incorporal and can't leave L.A. Fred tries to find a way to help Spike. Eventual because of a mysterious package, Spike gets his body back and Angel and Spike continue bickering to one another, some of it random arguing and the other half...who is the vampire with a soul to become human. When Angel gets put down for a bit by Eve, who was working behind their back with Lindsey to make Angel dillusional, Lindsey says his name is Doyle and tries to help Spike. Once Angel comes out of it fingers are points towards Eve and eventually it's revealed the Lindsey was behind it all and because of an ancient coffin, makes Fred deathly sick and its up to Angel and crew ti find a cure but when even going to England they couldn't find a cure and Fred changes into Illyria and finds out she can't raise her great army to take over the world. While Angel tries to find out a cure for Fred, he strugles to find out why the Senior Partners have been misleading him and distracting him from the real apoclypse.
