The du Lac cross was a cross designed by Josephus du Lac and necessary to decode certain mystical texts, such as the rituals and spells written in the Du Lac Manuscript.[1]
History[]
Before dying, du Lac destroyed all du Lac crosses except one, which was buried with him. Rupert Giles supposed du Lac had feared what might happen if the cross fell into the wrong hands.[1]
As a cross, the object had the same effect on vampires as other holy objects did. Spike, for example, wore gloves to protect himself while holding the du Lac cross.[2]
The du Lac cross could also be unsheathed to reveal a dagger. The dagger was used in the vampire restoration ritual, stabbing a vampire's sire to restore their health.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
- The du Lac cross is an accessory to Giles's and Spike's Buffy the Vampire Slayer action figures series 2, two of Spike's 12 Inch Figure, Giles's Titans vinyl figure, and Giles's Funko Pop!.
- A licensed replica of the du Lac cross was announced for 2008,[3] but it was subsequently canceled.[4]
