Roden

Roden was an Irish human warlock and the trainer of Lady Genevieve Savidge, one of the new Slayers, manipulating her into becoming an assassin of Slayers. He was also a servant of Twilight, who convinced Roden to serve him in exchange for surviving the coming Purge. However, Roden ignored that Twilight actually hoped that Roden and Genevieve would either kill Buffy or get themselves killed.

After Genevieve's accidental death at the hands of Faith Lehane he tried to convince her to take Gigi's place so she would eliminate Buffy, but she refused. Roden then tried to kill Faith but was wounded by Giles, who, after Roden's magic retalation, used Roden's spellbook to cast a containing spell inside the warlock's body, then commanding it to burst, killing Roden instantly
