Changes: Sahjhan

Revision as of 03:52, 28 November 2008

“- I'll take you to them. Two centuries into the future.
- Through black magic and sorcery?
- No, on a mule cart. Of course through black magic and sorcery. I'm a demon.
- What do you want from me?
- Your word. I want your word that when the time comes, you will show them no mercy.”

―Sahjhan and Daniel Holtz^[src]

Sahjhan, commonly known as the Timeshifter, is a demon of the Granok species. He was portrayed by actor Jack Conley.

Character history

Sahjhan claims to have invented daylight saving time, although he has a tendency towards sarcasm and dry wit. Sahjhan is one of a race of demons known as the Granok, who thrive on chaos and violence. The Granok are pale and disfigured, with faces covered in scars and markings. Sahjhan and the rest of his kind were made immaterial by Wolfram and Hart. Mesekhtet (the little girl in the White Room) claims this was because she liked trouble, but hated the chaos the Granok were bringing. Once an immaterial being, however, Sahjhan became capable of teleporting through time and dimensions, earning him the nickname Timeshifter. Sahjhan is responsible for bringing vampire hunter Daniel Holtz to the present. Sahjhan claims to have a grudge against Angel; however, his plan is, in fact, to use Holtz to kill Angel's son Connor because of the prophecies in the Nyazian Scrolls which foretell that Connor (the one fathered by the vampire with a soul) will kill him. In order to confuse Angel and his friends, Sahjhan actually alters the passage in the prophecy about his death; the altered passage reads, "The Father Will Kill the Son", leading Wesley to the conclusion that Angel will kill Connor.

However, Sahjhan grows impatient with Holtz, who, instead of just killing Connor, lays out and executes an elaborate plan to kidnap Angel's son. Sahjhan seeks the help of Wolfram & Hart's Lilah Morgan, thus setting up a chain of events that ends with Holtz disappearing into a Hell dimension known as Quor Toth, taking Connor with him. Just a few days later, Justine imprisons Sahjhan in Holtz's Resikhian Urn as revenge for Holtz's disappearance, which she blames on Sahjhan. Angel had made the demon corporeal in a failed attempt to get revenge for the kidnapping by killing him, only to end up nearly killed himself.

Two years later, Sahjhan is released under the watch of his enemy Cyvus Vail, whom Sahjhan had tried to kill on a number of occasions. Minutes later, he is decapitated by Connor, and thus the prophecy of the Nyazian Scrolls is finally fulfilled after all his efforts to prevent it, though Sahjhan's actions led to a series of events that caused his own death; by sending Connor to Quor Toth, he turned him into an extremely skilled fighter.
