Name:Wesley Wyndam-Pryce JOB: Rogue Demon Hunter under Angel's employ LOW POINT: Losing Faith and Buffy then being fired by the Watcher's Council QUEST: Fight the good fight and stop screaming like a girl Back in Sunnydale, Wesley was a Watcher sent from the Council in England to guide and train two Slayers, Buffy and Faith. Unfortunately, Faith’s alliance with the forces of evil and Buffy’s subsequent resignation from the Council’s charge were both blamed on Wesley. Before Los Angeles, the Watchers' Council could count on Wesley to do things by the book. But when that didn't work, he was fired. Wesley's forced departure from the Watcher’s Council has led him to question his actions in terms of right or wrong, instead of just doing things as he was trained or told to do. Wesley comes to L.A. clad in full leather, riding a motorcycle. No longer part of the Watcher's Council and unable to go home due to financial difficulties, he appoints himself as a "Rogue Demon Hunter." He meets Angel while in pursuit of a demon and stands up to the vampire for about two seconds, maybe less. At the core, Wesley is an innocent who always means well but on occasion makes things worse than they were to begin with. He does his best to rectify the situation as best he can with his good heart and intentions. Angel gives Wesley a job because the "Rogue Demon Hunter" is eating Cordelia's party snacks for dinner and drinking her coffee for breakfast! Wesley becomes a permanent part of Angel Investigations, Inc. as long as he earns his keep. This means that he’s the resident researcher of all things demon, and a useful part-time sidekick. Battling more evil and doing more good alongside Angel than he ever did under the Watcher's Council, Wesley's trust in Angel has grown. For the first time, he is no longer an imposed presence but an asset to something that he can truly believe in. He helps Angel fight against demons, and even saves him a few times. He can translate ancient languages and can hold his own in a duel of sarcasm with Cordelia. But Wesley has become much more than that to the members of Angel Investigations; he’s a trusting and loyal member of the family. |
