Doyle NAME: Allen Francis Doyle JOB: Former partner at Angel Investigations TALENT: A fierce Connection to the Powers That Be and spiky sneezes STATUS: Deceased Doyle is human – on his mother's side. He's never met his father, a Bracken demon, and his spiky green demon genes didn't manifest physically until he was 21 years old. A grammar school teacher then married to the love of his life, Harriet, Doyle did not cope well with the revelation. His marriage disintegrated, and he took to hiding behind the flimsy veneer of a ne'er-do-well hustler, seemingly more interested in where his next drink was coming from than in helping others. However, he's a kind of halfling telephone for messages from the Beyond that come accompanied by a blinding migraine. Armed with little more than pictures and sometimes a name, he sought out Angel and instructed the vampire to use his gift (or curse) to help those in danger. Doyle immediately took an interest in Cordelia, but was afraid that she would reject him if she found out he was a half-demon. A reluctant hero, he nevertheless proved to possess great strength of character and a good, kind heart. It was this inner strength that gave Doyle the courage to save his friends from certain death. While on a mission to protect two-dozen demon-human hybrids from a militant, pureblood sect calling itself "The Scourge," Doyle made the ultimate sacrifice and proved that he was a real hero after all. Before his death, Cordelia learned of his heritage, and they shared a passionate kiss. His ex-wife, Harry, remains in Los Angeles. |
