The son of the vampires Angel and Darla. Daniel Holtz raised Connor in the hell dimension Quortoth. After returning to this dimension, Connor worked alongside Angel, although there were some rough patches-- such as Connor sinking Angel to the bottom of the ocean and fathering the evil fallen higher power Jasmine.

After he suffered a nervous breakdown, Angel erased Connor's memories of his real life and gave him a fake one as Connor Riley, the adopted son of Lawrence and Colleen. He was able to live in relative peace for about a year, until Cyvus Vail needed him to kill the demon Sahjhan. Connor's memories were returned when the Orlon Window was destroyed. While he remembers who he used to be, he chooses to continue with his life as Connor Riley at Stanford.

After the vampire Clarice attacked students at Stanford, Connor chose to allow Andrew to be his Watcher. Initially called "The Boy Slayer", Connor defended Palo Alto against the legions of demons that had begun to come to the town. He desperately tried to keep his identity from his roommates, Jamie and Jules. Eventually, they discovered who he was. After Jules was killed, Connor and Jamie began to grow closer, now fighting together against the Circle of the Black Thorn.

While his friendship with Jamie has strengthened and he has become close to Andrew, the most important relationship to have come from his acceptance of his role as a champion is the one with Salome Simpson. Prior to being the "Boy Slayer", Connor had a crush on the pretty young barista, but when he found out she was a demon, they began to fight together. Eventually, they found themselves in love with one another and formed a very passionate relationship.

Over time, Connor realized he was not "the Boy Slayer"; he was still the Destroyer. Deep down, he knew he was still Connor Angel and not Connor Riley. He began to let go of the memory spell Angel had placed on him. He has come to terms with the demonic part of himself, in finding out that Angel had killed him to give him his new life and his inability to touch the Pure Scythe.

With the creation of the Hellmouth beneath Palo Alto, Connor had named himself the champion of the innocents in the town, his name feared amongst the demons.

In his final battle against Cyvus Vail, Connor was given the chance to fall into a coma, in which he would experience his "perfect life", one where he is happy as Connor Riley, a normal human. But Connor was unable to accept the fantasy life. It was too perfect and life is never perfect. For all of its flaws, Connor loved being a warrior. It was his true nature. Connor woke up and fought against Cyvus Vail. Despite knowing the death of Vail would destroy the memory spell completely, Connor decapitated the ancient demon.

Connor spent time with Angel after the final battle, telling him that he was fine with his life and asking him to come to Palo Alto to see him. He also asked that the Council not send a battalion of Slayers to his home. Palo Alto is his responsibility and he will protect it with his life.

Connor spent the summer in Los Angeles, interning at Nabbit Enterprises. With his return to Palo Alto, Connor had difficulties readjusting to his life as the Destroyer. With the appearance of Magnimus, Connor has been forced to look at his life at Quortoth once again.

His adoptive family of the "Justice League" has become incredibly important to Connor's well-being. He looks at Jamie and Andrew as his brothers. He even begun to express interest in marrying his now long-term girlfriend.

A demon expert and former Evil Nerd of Doom, Andrew Gillespie Wells found a strange place within Buffy Summers' gang after he was used as a pawn of the First Evil.

At Sunnydale High School, he was known only as "Tucker's brother", much to his dismay, as he's always tried to get out of his older brother's shadow. Falling in with Warren Meers and Jonathan Levinson, he became the "arch-nemesis" of Buffy. After the deaths of Warren and Jonathan (the second which he was personally responsible for), he joined Buffy and her friends as their hostage. He managed to become a shaky ally, fighting against the Turok-Han in the battle to close the Hellmouth and miraculously survived. Andrew often wondered how he was able to survive the battle.

After the Hellmouth was closed, Andrew became a Watcher, gathering the newly empowered Slayers. Andrew had trouble when he first began a Watcher. Many of his charges requested that another Watcher take them. The worst was when the mentally unstable Dana committed suicide under Andrew's watch. Because of his bad experiences, Andrew is quite hesitant.

When Angel was looking for a Watcher to look after Connor, he spoke to Giles. Andrew accidentally overheard. Because he was the only Watcher Giles was willing to part with and he already knew of Connor's identity, Andrew was dispatched to Palo Alto. He felt uncomfortable as Connor's Watcher, until he managed to save Connor's life using CPR. The pair began to bond after that experience.

Andrew had to confront his brother finally when Tucker came to Palo Alto and enslaved Connor, Salome and Lorne. Andrew managed to defeat his brother and force him to leave town, making the bonds between him and his new friends even more secure.

While still nervous and geeky, Andrew tends to come through in the clutch with amazing calm. He even managed to quell the First Evil by wielding the Pure Scythe and destroying the Symbol of Danzalthar.

Andrew has managed to come through as Connor's Watcher, despite his nervousness. He often worries about messing up and being tortured by Angel. He has also developed a crush on his charge, something that causes tension between him and Salome. However, Andrew and Connor have become good friends and Connor has trusted him with confidences he can't tell his other friends.

Andrew had become good friends with Jamie, despite early tensions. While Andrew remained in Palo Alto to watch the Hellmouth during Connor's stay in Los Angeles, Jamie and Andrew opened a comic shop together called Flying Demon Monkeys.

A sassy, ass-kicking girl with a sweet and loving side, Salome won Connor's heart despite the fact she's a Nyazian demon.

Born in the Nyazian camp in Whistler, British Columbia, Salome remained cut off from the human world for the first fifteen years of her life. All she learned about the human world she learned from her teacher, Azriel. Salome desperately wished to live amongst the humans. When Azriel offered her the opportunity, she took it... Even though it meant marrying him.

After they were married, Salome discovered Azriel had betrayed their clan and let Cyvus Vail sent his Kith'harn demons in to massacre the camp. Holding the body of her dead twin, Salome made a blood pact, swearing she would kill Azriel. She spent the next few years wallowing in guilt over letting her clan be killed. After she was attacked by Azriel, she reaffirmed her vow, studying magic with her aunt Meerna.

Now a warrior for good, Salome came to Stanford University to study Art History. She began to fight against demons in Palo Alto. She met Connor through her job at the CoHo. While she was attracted to him, she turned down his advances, afraid he would discover her demonic nature. When she discovered he was the Destroyer-- a mythical warrior to Nyazians-- she began to fight with him. Salome and Connor soon found themselves falling in love.

Salome is a very powerful demon sorceress. She was a novice until she absorbed the powers of Cyvus Vail, which greatly increased her magical abilities. Naturally purple-skinned, Salome is capable of modulating her form so she appears human. She leaves her hair naturally purple because she thinks it looks cool. She is capable of tracking interdimensional portals and creating ones of her own. She has begun to experiment with mono-dimensional teleportation.

Despite her position as a champion for good Salome is an acolyte of Illyria, who was the creator of the Nyazian species. While Salome's clan gave up their devotion to Illyria over the hundred million years the God-King was dead, the recent reappearance of Illyria brought out Salome's devotion.

Salome has spent the summer in Sao Paolo, Brazil, studying her powers with Willow Rosenberg. Upon returning to Palo Alto, she began working as a bartender at Caritas once again.

Salome has replaced the deceased Knox as Illyria's Qwa-ha Xahn, though Salome and others usually refer to her as the "High Priestess of Illyria" as opposed to the Gashundi name.

The death of his sister touched Jamie deeply and he began to work with Connor to avenge Jules' death. While he has trouble believing in the demon world, he sees it before him at every turn. The First Evil attempted to use Jamie's love for his sister and his trouble with the demon world to get him to kill the resurrected Wesley.

He has only had one relationship, with a demon named Dahlia, who he was forced to kill when it was revealed she was a mind-controlling madame for a demon whorehouse. He's addicted all sort of hockey. He and Connor have a weekly road game.

Despite his lack of supernatural abilities, Jamie has gone into battle with Connor many times. He insists that Connor isn't the boss of him and if he wants to put himself into danger to help his friends, he will.

Mandy is a very gifted playwright, actress and director. She put off plans to attend college to train to be a Slayer. When her training was complete, she applied to Stanford University. Her decision to study in Palo Alto was seen as a blessing to the Council, since Connor had told them flat out not to assign any Slayers to the area.
