Biography[]
At Sunnydale High, Lance wore the the letterman jacket that his father gave him and played in the Sunnydale Razorbacks football team. Considered a "big jock," Lance used to stick chewing gum in Xander's hair, who was a couple of years behind him. After graduation, Lance gave the jacket to his younger brother.[1]
Four years later, Xander and Spike visited the Brooks residence to investigate the cause of R.J.'s supernatural attraction. They found Lance had gained weight, still lived with his mother, and worked in the management program at the Pizza Barn. Lance told Xander that, before R.J. "blossomed" and joined the football team, he had been really into "geek stuff," like comic books, Model UN, and writing poetry. Once Xander and Spike noticed the jacket might be the cause, they decided to leave despite Lance's insistence for them to stay and party with him in the basement.[1]
