Alias: Ripper

Age: unknown

Occupation: Ex-Watcher/Ex-Libarian, Lounge singer, currently not gainfully employed.

Special Abilities: Speaks five languages, including Latin, German, English, and Sumerian, but is passable in a dozen more. He has some fighting skills and can make the best Moltov Cocktails in Sunnydale. His background includes some witch talents and a few witch contacts. He also drives a very cool car: a Citroen.

Greatest Fear: Buffy's death

Background: Born in England and educated at Oxford, Giles was picked to become Buffy Summers's Watcher, though fighter pilot and grocer were his other ambitions. The man truly loves to learn; he is the main component of all arcane knowledge for the Slayer. His dedication to Buffy was so much that he quit the Watcher's Council and revealed the secret of her loss in powers to her. He is somewhat saddened by the brutal murder of his love Jennifer Calendar, but has managed to have relationships with Joyce Summers and Olivia since then. During Graduation Day, Giles made the ultimate sacrifice and blew up his beloved library to kill the Mayor. Because of that, Giles is out of work and spends much of his time at home. The Scooby Gang fears he may be going through some type of mid-life crisis because they saw him singing in a coffee house with his guitar.

Motivation: Giles has some very good reasons to hate Drusilla other than her being a vampire. She almost destroyed the world with the Judge and Alcatha. She sheltered and helped Angelus durng his reign of terror which led to the death of Ms. Calendar. To make matters worse, she personally supervised Giles getting beat up and kidnapped from the library. Then she masqueraded as Jennifer Calendar and convinced him to reveal the secret information about Alcatha that would have ended the world. All in all, he could have done it.
