Biography

“I'm as real as you are. Just… Well, let me put it this way — I look good for my age.”

―The Last Guardian

This woman was one of the Guardians who hid the mystical weapon mʔ, and kept waiting while she became the last Guardian.

In 2003, she revealed herself to Buffy Summers in a tomb originally from Africa, then placed in Sunnydale. During the encounter, the Last Guardian described the Guardians as those who sought to aid the Slayer. They also had secretly watched over the Shadowmen and their spiritual descendants, the Watchers Council.

She told Buffy the purpose of the Scythe and identified herself as the one who had put the weapon in the rock where Buffy had found it. She then warned Buffy that, if she used it wisely, perhaps she could defeat the rising dark — but, one way or another, its discovery could only mean: "an end is truly near." As she said this, she suddenly had her neck snapped by Caleb, dying after living millennia.
