Character Profile                                                                  Character name: Wesley Wyndham-Pryce 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. Attempting to take over Giles role as Buffy's Watcher, Wesley  didn't go down well with the Scooby gang. Lacking any formal experience, his orders were ignored by Faith and Buffy. 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. At first Wesley mistakes Cordelia for a teacher. Although Wesley comes across as being a bit of a wimp, Cordelia takes a fancy to him, but after one very unsuccessfully kiss, they decide they aren't right for each other. Wesley comes to LA 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.
