| − | Osiris has been shown to be a vital contributor to both Buffy's resurrection and the death of [[Tara]]. It is possible that he is seen for the first time when Tara's soul is being taken away from the human world. [[Willow]] brings forth an entity that comments upon her nerve to bring forth Osiris to beckon for Tara's life. It's unsure if this is Osiris for it refers to Osiris in third person, however this could just be Osiris making use of his title upon being called and is in fact the god of the underworld from Egyptian mythology. |
