“I have to believe in a better world.”

―Rupert Giles^[src]

Rupert Edmund Giles was a vampire hunter and ex-Watcher leader of the White Hats, and the alternate timeline counterpart of Giles.

Biography

At the behest of the Watchers Council, Giles traveled to Sunnydale, California, and took up the post of librarian at the local high school, without a Slayer to train. The Harvest was not prevented and Sunnydale is controlled by the Master and the Order of Aurelius. To face the danger, Giles becomes the mentor of the so-called White Hats, a group of vampire hunters. When Cordelia Chase found herself in this reality, she asked about Giles’ new history in this timeline, but they were interrupted by Xander and Willow before Giles could answer.

Having learned about the main timeline from Cordelia before she was killed, Giles contacted Buffy Summers for assistance, but when she left to fight the Master, showing no interest in his theories about how to change the world, he attempted to summon Anyanka, having identified her as the demon who had granted Cordelia’s wish that Buffy never came to Sunnydale, in an attempt to restore the timeline to normal. In the subsequent confrontation with Anyanka, she asked him how he could be so sure that the other world was any better than this one. Giles simply replied "Because it has to be" before he smashed the Symbol of Anyanka, ending the wish and restoring reality to normal, albeit with Anyanka now powerless and mortal.^[1]
