- “The Immortal does not need men like me to do his business. He is a wild card, a wolf removed from the pack, a stallion without, uh, the bridle.”
- ―Alfonso[src]
The Immortal was an old rival of both Angel and Spike; an extremely respected and admired being serving no side but his own desires. He had accomplished numerous incredible feats and managed to seduce many women, including Darla, Drusilla and, supposedly, Buffy Summers, though this was merely a decoy. Quite little is truly known about the Immortal, although according to Darla, he wasn't "some common vampire". It is also known that he didn't use magic, considering it "dirty", and according to Angel, was centuries old, had a dark past, and he "may or may not [have been] evil".
Accomplishments
According to various people that know the Immortal, he has accomplished the following:
- Spending 150 years in a Tibetan Monastery
- Climbing Mount Everest several times.
- Dealing with the Italian Branch of Wolfram and Hart several times and surviving. (The female CEO of the Italian Wolfram and Hart, Ilona Costa Bianchi may have been referring to business dealings or a more personal encounter, quite possibly both)
- Writing a book that is "a life-changer".
- Successfully capturing and torturing Angelus and Spike, two of the most feared vampires of their day.
- "Violating" Drusilla and Darla, not only both of them but both of them at the same time, something that neither Spike nor Angel could get either girl to agree to.
- Somehow getting Spike landed in jail for tax evasion.
