“The-there's a reference in here to a Brotherhood of seven demons who take, uh, the form of young humans. Every seven years these demons need human organs, a-a-a brain and a heart, to maintain their humanity.”

―Rupert Giles

The Brotherhood of Seven was a group of demons who took the form of young humans. Every seven years they sought out human brains and hearts in order to maintain their human form, otherwise they would revert to their true visages. Six of them were killed by the demon hunter Sid, with Marc being the last survivor. Marc was killed in 1997.

These demons were also capable of resurrecting after being beheaded. Destruction of their hearts was necessary to keep them from coming back .

Feeding

To maintain their human appearance every seven years, these demons needed a healthy heart like Emily or a brain healthy or perfectly functional as that of Giles. Buffy found that Morgan's brain, which had a tumor, was discarded as it was inedible for Marc. It was not specified if the taken organs needed to be ingested or transplanted.

Other abilities

The brotherhood were spellcasters and successfully performed at least one to curse their enemy, the demon hunter Sid.
