by Beldin Buffy s3e10 Kindly donated by Jade's BtVS Theories There is no First Evil. There is only the Harbingers. This is a cult that has built up an entity through lies, superstition, and illusion, which is their great power. First, why were the references in Giles' books only full of posturing? Because the Harbingers wrote in hyperbole to create a mythic monster to scare the superstitious. Who said the First Evil was so all powerful, was before time, was in each of us? Why, the First Evil did through the Jenny illusion conjured by the Harbingers. Lies. Who said the First Evil brought Angel back? The same. And that is where they made their mistake. "Jenny" said "we brought you back". I first thought she was talking of the ghosts but then they were interchangable, one replacing the other, so it was a single entity or else illusion. If it were a single entity acting through "Jenny" it would have said "I". Actually the Harbingers were using the fact of Angel's return to cast their illusions on him and drive him to do their bidding. Then when Buffy broke in on them these Harbingers couldn't fight her because of their ritual blindness. So they conjured the illusion "Jenny" to distract Buffy while they escaped through a tunnel. Notice the illusion did not do anything. That is because it was illusion. It spoke great swelling words designed to intimidate and when Buffy talked back to it it was impotent to respond. As a final getaway tactic the Harbinger caused the illusion to swell into a monstrous figure to startle Buffy and give them more time. So the whole thing was illusion. The Harbinger's power is to play with the mind. Opinions
