Ferris Carlyle

Dr. Ferris Carlyle was an old acquaintance of Giles from Oxford University who had advanced degrees in entomology and mythology. He spent years transcribing a lost pre-Germanic language and discovered the existance of a creature he called the She-Mantis. However, he kept the information to himself, until several teenage boys were murdered in the Costwolds. Carlyle went hunting for the creature. However he was defeated and driven insane. Due to his state, and the fact that he claimed that his mother had reincarnated as a pekinese, nobody believed him. Years later, the She-Mantis appeared in Sunnydale. Giles called Carlyle to obtain information.
