Angel
Angel was born Liam in Galway, Ireland on 1727. Liam was a lounger who spent his days drinking and whoring his way through life until he was sired by Darla and became a vampire known as Angelus, or "The Demon with an Angel's Face" due to his beauty. Angelus and Darla spent the next 150 years spreading death and destruction wherever they went and Angelus himself became the most notorious vampire in European History for his sadistic thirst for physical and mental torture. Everything changed in 1889 when he angered with the Kalderash clan by raping and killing their most beloved daughter. The Romani tribe punished him by restoring his human soul; giving him the conscience he had a lost when he became a vampire and condemning him to an eternity of remorse and guilt over his actions. After spending the next century alone and fighting against his vampiric urges, Angel was given the chance of redemption when he was approached by the benevolent demon Whistler who convinced him to help out the recently-activated Slayer [Buffy Summers](https://www.reddit.com/r/respectthreads/comments/8ec1hg/respect_buffy_summers_the_buffyverse)
