Buffy Guest Cast Characters

Mr Trick is a vampire of some distinction and arrives in town with his boss, Kakistos, who has come looking to kill the slayer. That would be Faith the Vampire Slayer as opposed to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. When Faith finally finds a stake big enough to kill Kakistos, Mr Trick takes his revenge by organising Slayerfest '99 in which he gathers vampires and demons of all kinds to take part in a Slayer hunt. Of course, things don't go exactly to plan when they get Buffy and Cordy instead of Faith, and are worse when Buffy figures out how they are managing to track her and kills everyone involved. Mr Trick lives to see another day and soon finds himself working for The Mayor and becomes his right hand demon. He finally meets his match in Faith, when he comes up against the two slayers and almost manages to kill Buffy before being very surprised by a stake in the back.

Faith came from a broken home with an alcoholic mother, Faith became a slayer when Kendra was killed. Having fought and lost to Kakistos and watch him kill her watcher, Faith runs to Sunnydale to find the all famous Buffy. Although she tries to fit in with Buffy and her friends, Faith cannot get away from the pain in her short life and is a totally different kind of person and slayer to Buffy. Things go further wrong when her new watcher turns out to be a fake, and the real one turns out to be a wuss. Still desperate for some kind of connection to the world, Faith makes out with Xander and takes his virginity, but their passion is very short lived. The final straw for Faith comes when she mistakenly kills the Deputy Mayor, although Buffy tries to reach out to her, Faith shrugs off what she has done and even tries to put the blame on Buffy.

Angel, however, is the one person who knows where Faith is at, capturing her he almost gets through to her when Wesley and the watcher's council intervene and take the slayer captive themselves. She makes short work of them and finally finds someone she can trust and a father figure in The Mayor. Going to the dark side certainly suits Faith and she falls right into place, thinking nothing of betraying her old friends and doing the Mayor's dirty work. This includes trying to seduce Angel in order to turn him back into Angelus and, when that doesn't work, shooting him with a poisoned arrow, the only antidote to which is the blood of a slayer. This last act proves to be her biggest mistake, when Buffy comes after her and the ensuing fight leaves Faith with an almost fatal stab wound and in a coma for eight months.

When she awakes she finds things a lot different. The only person that she believes ever really cared for her is dead, however, he has left her a gift, a device which will enable her to switch bodies with Buffy. Having done so, she ensures that Buffy (in her old body) is safely out of the way and then gets on with Buffy's life. Living in Buffy's body she finds that the world is a different place, one where people feel genuine affection for her and where she is able to do good. Of course, Buffy manages to escape and find a way to reverse the switch. Beaten and confused, Faith leaves for LA.

Here she finds herself tracked down by evil law firm Wolfram & Hart, who hearing there is a slayer in town, think this is just the way to get rid of Angel. Faith accepts the job immediately and sets about luring Angel into a fight by kidnapping and torturing Wesley. She gets her fight but it soon turns into a death wish on her part when she begs Angel to kill her, when instead he just holds her. Despite what she has done, Angel offers her sanctuary and the chance to start her life over, but Buffy, watcher's council and the police, have other plans for Faith. Wanting redemption and realising it is the only thing she can do, Faith hands herself into the police.

Faith serves her sentence diligently, trying her best to keep out of trouble and pay for her crimes, Angel loses his soul again and Wesley busts her out of prison, knowing that she is the only person that can save Angel. Knowing that Angel is the only person ever to have had true faith in her, she sets about saving him, even going to the lengths of taking a lethal dose of the drug Orpheus in order to drug Angelus when he bites her. Back in a comatose state and while Willow makes the trip to Los Angeles to help restore Angel's soul, Faith and Angelus share an hallucination where he takes her through his life as Angel and finally the good wins over the bad and Faith wakes up just in time to save Angel from Connor.

With her duty done by Angel, Faith agrees to return to Sunnydale with Willow and help in the battle against the First. Back in Sunnydale, she finally makes it up with Buffy and the rest of the gang, and despite a few hiccups, and a liaison with the new Principal, Faith plays her part in Sunnydale's final battle and makes it through to the end.

An incredibly clean man with a total abhorration for all things germ like, Richard Wilkins founded the town of Sunnydale in 1899 and became Mayor. In 1903 he married Edna May and, through magic and demonic worship managed to jeep himself young (and Mayor) for the next 100 years, impersonating his own son and grandson, even though he allowed his wife to die. After 100 years it is time for the the Mayor to ascend and to become a pure demon. One thorn in his side is the slayer, that's Buffy the slayer, and he tries various methods to get rid of her, even getting the other slayer, Faith to help, but to no avail. Despite this he continues with the rituals and preparations required for his ascension and, on Graduation Day at Sunnydale High, he does indeed become a pure demon in the form of a huge snake. Unfortunately, Buffy and the whole of Sunnydale are ready for him and his ascension does not last long when he is lead into a trap and blown up, along with the school. His charred remains can be seen, and smelt in the school grounds untilthe debris is cleared away and the new school built some three years later.

The First, however, does find a brief use for him and uses his human image to torment both Spike and Faith.

A senior member of the Watcher's Council, Travers was responsible for the Cruciamentum, a test imposed on slayers by the council when they reach their eighteenth birthday. The test involves the slayer's powers being taken from her and, in her weakened state, being faced with a hungry vampire. Buffy passes the test with flying colours, but due to his fatherly love for Buffy, Giles fails and is sacked as her watcher. Quentin leaves Sunnydale, but returns two years later along with other members of the council with vital information about the latest evil to hit Sunnydale, the goddess, Glory. However, they are not prepared to impart this information until Buffy passes yet another test, threatening the removal of Giles' green card if Buffy does not comply with their wishes. This time, however, Buffy has had enough of the council and their tests and, after putting Mr Travers down in no uncertain terms, demands that they restore Giles' position at the council, with back pay.

Quentin and his cronies return to England and the council's headquarters. Unfortunately, this turns out to be not a very safe place to be. When The First Evil decides it wants rid of the watcher's council it has Caleb blow up the headquarter's, Quentin does not survive the blast.

Zachary Kralik was only ten years old when his mother took this scissors to him, leaving him with serious problem with mothers which would last into his unlife. It is not clear when he became a vampire, but it is known that he had already tasted human flesh before becoming a vampire. Somehow the psychotic vampire allowed himself to fall into the hands of the Watchers Council who kept him locked up for six years and fed him pills to try and stabalise his condition which he became addicted to. As Buffy reaches her eighteenth birthday, the council prepare for the Tento di Cruciamentun, a cruel traditional test for Slayers lucky enough to reach the age of eighteen. Buffy is stripped of her slayer powers and sent to flight a vampire (Zachary) in controlled circumstances. Unfortunately Zachary escapes the council's bounds and kidnaps Buffy's mother, luring Buffy to his lair. Buffy follows and, in her weakened state, manages to trick Zachary into drinking a bottle of holy water resulting in his very timely demise.

Rack is a warlock who deals in black magic. Those who are able to find his lair are treated to the sweetest and most dangerous of magics that they then become addicted to. When Willow's refusal to stop using magic prompts Tara to leave her, she turns to the newly de-ratted Amy for friendship. Amy introduces Willow to Rack and she quickly becomes addicted to his powers.

Warren also turns to Rack for help when he finds himself pursued by the new biggest evil in Sunnydale, dark Willow. Rack gives Warren a spell to put Willow of the scent, but this leaves him at the mercy of Willow herself. In need of some more power she tracks Rack down and drains him of all of his, taking his life in the process.
