A duel in Cyvus Vail's mansion occurred between Connor and Sahjhan in 2004.[1]
History[]
Background[]
At some point, the Granok demon Sahjhan learned of a prophecy that stated: "The son of the vampire with a soul will grow to manhood and kill Sahjhan."[2] In attempt to prevent it, Sahjhan formed an alliance with vampire hunter Holtz, who had a vendetta against Angel.[3] However, Holtz repeatedly failed to kill Angel, and his son, Connor, was born.[4] When Holtz tried to take Connor as his own, Sahjhan opened a portal to the dimension of Quor'toth to force Holtz to kill Connor, but he jumped inside instead.[5]
In Angel's efforts to get his son back, he made Sahjhan corporeal to try to force the demon to take him to Quor'toth, but Sahjhan was unable to. Angel proved no match for Sahjhan, but Justine trapped him in a Resikhian urn.[2]
Connor eventually returned months later as a teenager, believing Angel was his enemy.[6] Angel ultimately made a deal with Wolfram & Hart to take over their Los Angeles branch in exchange for giving Connor a happy family and normal life.[7] The urn fell into the hands of Sahjhan's old enemy Cyvus Vail, who decided to force Angel to have Connor kill Sahjhan to get his affairs in order. Connor, having been alerted to his powers by being hit by a van and an attack by Vail's Kith'harn demons, agreed to Vail's demands in exchange for his family's safety.[1]
Fight[]
Connor was locked in a room with Sahjhan's urn and an assortment of weapons. He opened the urn and released Sahjhan. Sahjhan joked with Connor until Connor told him they were supposed to fight, at which point Sahjhan realized who Connor was and taunted him about his time in Quor'toth. Connor, however, had no idea what he was talking about due to his lack of true memories. While Connor was distracted, Sahjhan threw the urn at him to start the fight and Connor proved no match for the powerful demon due to his great strength and Connor's lack of knowledge on how to actually fight.[1]
Eventually, Sahjhan pinned Connor to a table and started strangling him to death. In that moment, Wesley shattered Vail's Orlon Window,[1] restoring Connor's memories. With his fighting skills returned,[8] Connor flipped Sahjhan over the table, which Sahjhan believed was just a "lucky shot." Connor grabbed an axe and jumped the table to face the demon. Connor had a hard time in the fight until he impaled Sahjhan in the abdomen while moving from a failed blow. The axe blow stunned Sahjhan long enough for Connor to decapitate him, killing him and fulfilling the prophecy.[1]
Aftermath[]
With Sahjhan dead, Connor decided to return to his family and that fighting wasn't really for him.[1] However, while he got his memories back, he didn't revert to his old violent personality and retained his well-adjusted one.[8]
Angel started a hunt for Vail that lasted until Illyria killed him in the destruction of the Circle of the Black Thorn.[8]
