Wesley Wyndham-Pryce

Wesley

Wesley was sent to Sunnydale as the replacement Watcher when Giles was fired. He was a weak man who was unable to control Buffy and Faith, who still relied on Giles. He eventually lost Faith altogether to the Mayor. His technique as a Watcher was terrible: he would give orders when Buffy was used to being an equal to Giles, and when he tried to capture Faith she escaped. He also had no practical experience dealing with vampires. Buffy eventually quit the Council under Wesley’s command and he eventually learnt that he wanted to help in a non-Watcher capacity, so aided in the battle against the Mayor’s ascension. He and Cordelia flirted together briefly but discovered that they had no chemistry at all. Wesley left Sunnydale and became a ‘rogue demon hunter’, eventually hooking up with Angel and Cordelia and working with them in L.A. Wesley was killed by Vail (a member of the ultra-evil Circle of the Blackthorn) in the Angel episode ‘Not Fade Away‘.

    2. Abby M. says:

      Can you believe how hot he got? :) I was so surprised when I saw him in the first Angel episode I ever saw (Smiley Time, I think it is called. The one with puppet Angel).

    3. mairceridwen says:

      I love that episode.

      You’re a wee little puppet man!!!

    4. ant4buffy says:

      How is wesley a complete gay boy? and when does he say “exterminate” or sound like a dalek? And do you have any sense?

    5. Abby M. says:

      What did I say? I don’t understand this: “He does sound like a Dalek, ask Abby M…she sed it…how are you, and i quote “4 Buffy” i though you were gay…”

    6. MissKittyFantastico says:

      Ok I’m not sure about the above posts, but I’ve been watching some of Wesley’s best Buffy moments and I thought these quotes might make u smile (and lighten the mood!):

      “Check out Giles the next generation…” (Cordy to Wes)

      “New watcher?” - Faith
      “New watcher” - Buffy & Giles
      “Screw that” - Faith

      Two of my favourite quotes.

      Wesley’s character was hilarious from the start, and I really enjoyed seeing him develop from his first scenes in Buffy to the end of Angel. He turned out to be a really strong, decent guy.

    7. Esual says:

      I like that Wesley dies in “not fade away”. he was a central chracter throughout nearly the whole of Angel, and to kill off a main character is very daring. Even if it was in the last episode. Loving it.

    8. DarthRosenberg says:

      Yes, that’s true…
      But it was sooo sad… :(
      I don’t see it yet (grr… Hungary grr…), but I’ve read the transcripts and I cried when he died… :(
