Giles is Buffy's watcher. He helps her find out what she needs to know about any vampire, demon or whatever. He fell in love with another teacher, Ms. Jenny Calendar until Angel (when he lost his soul again) killed her. He was also tortured by Angel and hasn't yet forgiven him for it. (It might be the English in him!?) He was recenlty fired for telling Buffy of the ritual slayers go through when they or if they reach their 18th birthday. Has has since been replaced by Wesley Windam-Price but Giles is going nowhere. I think he also has a crush on Joyce (Buffy's mom)! Oh yeah. And when he was young, lets say he had this major problem with authority!!! Think ticking time bomb!
