- ↳ Note: This article is about the sister of Liam. For the roommate of Buffy, see Kathy Newman.
Kathy was the younger sister of Liam, the man who would become known as the vampire Angelus.
Biography
Kathy cried on the day Liam left their family's house, prompting him to console her sister he and their father argued, telling her: "No tears; we'll meet again." It was the last moment she saw him alive, as that very night Liam met the vampire Darla and was subsequently sired.[1]
Kathy was present at her brother's funeral, crying and hugging their mother while their father stared at the grave.[1]
After rising from the grave, Liam returned to his house. Kathy believed that her brother had returned in the form of an angel and invited him to enter. Afterward, Liam killed her. Kathy's belief that her brother was an angel inspired his infamous nom de guerre "Angelus," later shortened to simply "Angel," a name that stuck with Liam for centuries.[1]
