History

The origins of this unnamed demon are unknown, but it claims to be as old as time, always approaching people moments before their deaths in times of despair to steal their souls. Right after Angel and Buffy broke up, this demon approached them both simulatenously at different locations where it attempted to steal their souls. Believing that the pain of their separation would render them defenseless, the demon was suprised to find that the break-up had only made the two warriors stronger and more resilient than ever.
