Betta George was a Splenden beast member of Team Spike.[citation needed]
Biography[]
Fall of Los Angeles[]
George was among those who were in town during the Fall of Los Angeles, being transported to a hell dimension along with the entire city by the Senior Partners.[1] The Demon Lord of Westwood, Kr'ph, captured George and forced him to use his powers to make Kr'ph's human slaves kill each other in gladiatorial fights. When Gunn, then a vampire, killed Kr'ph, he kidnapped George and used his skills to train against captive Slayers.[citation needed]
Freed, George reunited with Spike. George was introduced to Angel and informed his team about an enraged Illyria's motives and plans for destruction. Angel instructed George to fill Illyria's mind with Wesley's and Spike's memories of Fred, leaving a stunned Illyria to be defeated by a demon army serving the Senior Partners.[citation needed]
After Los Angeles was restored, George joined Team Spike in Las Vegas.[citation needed]
Powers and abilities[]
George had the power of telepathy, displaying great control over his ability. He could read people's thoughts, mentally freeze people in their paths, communicate with people over vast distances, transfer memories from one's mind to another, and he make himself look like whatever his target wanted to see.[citation needed]
His telepathic powers could also affect vampires,[citation needed] who were normally immune to psychic penetration.[2]

Behind the scenes[]
- Betta George was co-created by Brian Lynch, who based him on his own pet.[3]
- Lynch said he wrote George as an audience surrogate: "He's supposed to be the most normal character. Because I know that if you have a talking fish hanging out with everyone's favorite characters, people are going to not like him immediately. Because he could be Jar Jar very easily. So I try to make him the nicest, most normal character, and the one who would react like the audience would react."[citation needed]
- Lynch also denies that Betta George speaks in any particular accent but advises readers to hear him in their own accent to help them identify with him.[citation needed]
