Michael Czajak[1] was a Sunnydale High School student and a warlock.[2]
Biography[]
During high school, Michael developed an interest in witchcraft and become friends with Amy Madison and Willow Rosenberg, who were both witches. Together, the three worked on a protection spell for Willow to gift Buffy Summers on her birthday. However, shortly before they performed the spell, Joyce Summers found two children dead with the symbol used in the spell on their hands.[2]
At school, Michael was victim of bullying from Roy and his friends, who mocked his use of makeup and interest in witchcraft. Roy blamed "people like him" for the death of the children and threatened him until Buffy came in his defense.[2]
That night, Michael was attacked by his father and his friends. He managed to escape and warn the Scooby Gang in the Sunnydale High library that people were being taken from their homes to the Sunnydale City Hall for some sort of trial. While Michael stayed hidden, the Scoobies went to save Buffy, Willow, and Amy as well as defeat the demon that was causing the paranoia over Sunnydale. Amy became trapped in the form of a rat as a result of her own spell,[2] despite Michael and Willow's attempts to turn her back into human.[3]
