Granok demon

“Nowadays you can walk right through 'em, but in the past they were something else... They were all about torture and death. [...] They caused a lot of trouble. Don't get me wrong, I like trouble — but I hate chaos. So we changed 'em.”
―Mesektet[src]

Granok demon was a species of humanoid demons. Sahjhan, an enemy of Angel Investigations, belonged to this race.[1]

History[]

Granoks were fierce warriors that reveled in the carnage and death they caused. Mesektet and Wolfram & Hart found them too chaotic and unpredictable, for which they transformed the demons into incorporeal beings, unable to interact with the physical world. Several ended up trapped in Resikhian urns.[1]

One, Sahjhan, learned of a prophecy that stated that the son of the vampire Angel would kill him,[1] and he teamed up with Daniel Holtz in hopes of killing Angel before Connor could be born and the prophecy fulfilled.[2] To this end, when Holtz refused to kill Connor, he threatened to swallow the world into the hell dimension Quor'toth, causing Holtz to jump inside with Connor.[3] In an attempt to force Sahjhan to help get Connor back, Angel restored him to corporeal form with a spell, but he was no match for the powerful demon. However, Justine Cooper trapped Sahjhan in a Resikhian urn that Holtz had left behind.[1]

Connor eventually managed to return a few months later as a teenager, due to the time difference between dimensions, and later gained a normal life. Sahjhan's urn somehow fell into the hands of his old enemy Cyvus Vail. Two years after Sahjhan's attempts to foil the prophecy, Vail became determined to fulfill it to put his affairs in order. He forced Angel to reveal to Connor his powers and get him to fight Sahjhan. Sahjhan was released and, once Connor's memories were restored, he was able to best Sahjhan and behead him.[4]

“Do I look like I need more skin problems?”
―Sahjhan[src]

Granok demons were humanoid beings recognizable by their pale white skin, white eyes, and long hair. Their faces and wrists presented natural scars, self-inflicted tribal marks, and, usually, battle scars.[1]

Powers and abilities[]

While in corporeal form, Granok demons possessed great physical strength and resistance. Sahjhan was capable of surviving impact with a large truck without injury and proved to be stronger than a vampire of Angel's age and status during their fight.[1]

After being made incorporeal, Granoks were supposed to be unable to do anything besides watching and talking.[1] However, the case of Sahjhan proved that Granoks would be able to teleport through time[1] and dimensions, assume human form, and even manipulate the electromagnetic spectrum in a limited fashion (allowing Sahjhan to turn off TVs by waving his arm).[2]

As other incorporeal beings,[5] Granoks were capable of limited interaction with the physical world, which would require great concentration, as Sahjhan carried clothes for Holtz[2] and threw dusts during the ritual to awaken him.[6]

The dimensional essence of a Granok could be captured and contained by using a Resikhian urn. The urn would have the same effect both on corporeal and non-corporeal Granoks.[1] The captured Granok could be easily released by opening the urn.[4]
