Giles family

The Giles family was a British family which Rupert Giles is a member of. The Giles family had been involved with the Watchers' Council for three generations, starting with Edna Fairweather, who as a young Watcher in training fell in love with the older son of the family running Giles' Bakery, eventually marrying him. Like Edna, their son also became a Watcher. Edna's grandson, Rupert would also follow in his father's and grandmother's footsteps.
