William has been nicknamed Spike because he loves to torture his victims with railroad spikes. In all of the Episodes of Buffy I have never once seen anyone call Spike William to his face... I *assume* there is a reason for this?
There is some speculation on Spikes true Sire. There is reason to believe that Drusilla
is Spike's master because of an interview from
entertainment weekly (with the characters Spike and Dru, rather than the actors)
where Drusilla says 'I made my little Spike...didn't I, love?' And spike reply's
'She did. Pulled me right off the street. The moment I saw my Dru, I knew I'd love her 'til I died - which I
did about three minutes later.'
