Biography
"Vocah, Warrior of the Underworld. An agent of the coming darkness. He wants you weak, cut off from every source of help"

- The Sister Oracle

Vocah, self-proclaimed Bringer of Calamity, is a warrior of the underworld and a lower being summoned to this world by a pair of dark monks serving W&H to perform the Raising, a ritual that would unleash a being supposed to bring Angel to Wolfram & Hart's fold and lure him away from his mission. This plan that was put in jeopardy when Angel stole the Scrolls of Aberjian from the firm's vault, thus bringing him closer to discover his destiny and complete his connection with The Powers That Be. In the face of this events, Vocah sought to retrieve the Scrolls, which were needed to perform the Raising, and sever each of Angel's links to the Powers That Be.

Vocah's first step was tresspass into the dimension of The Oracles, something a common demon was unable to do, and announced to them that the old oder had passed and a new order had come, presumably indicating that the balance between good and evil had tilted in favor of evil. Vocah then killed the Oracles with a scythe.

Then, Vocah went after Angel's closest friends themselves. He appeared invisible in broad daylight and placed his mark on Cordelia, thus opening her mind to endless visions of all those in suffering or danger. After this, he infiltrated the Angel Investigations offices, took the Scrolls of Aberjian and planted an explosive device. Ths explosion nearly killed Wesley and put Angel on the trail of the attacker. It was the ghost of the dead Sister Oracle that revealed Vocah's identity to Angel.

Angel tracked Vocah to a mausoleum, where the demon and his monks had captured five vampires, which were used as a sacrifice as part of the Raising. Vocah had already performed a large part of the ritual and sensed the presence of Angel. He interrupted the ritual to fight the vampire while Lindsey McDonald completed the Raising. Despite being a formidable warrior, Vocah was cornered by Angel and killed with one of his own scythes.

Minutes later Angel would recuperate the Scroll of Aberjian, which contained the Words of Anatole, the only way to remove Vocah's mark from Cordelia.
