Angel drinks from Buffy, nearly killing her. While Buffy the Vampire Slayer lasted seven seasons and ended on its own terms, Angel was unceremoniously canceled before season 5 had even concluded. Still, for a long time he believed himself a lost cause.

Afterward, he revealed that he was unique among his kind for possessing a soul, as a result of the curse placed upon him as a punishment for murdering the favorite daughter of a Romani tribe.

[11] Angel would describe being disillusioned with the women of his era, and showed distaste for noblewomen in particular, describing them as "incredibly dull, simpering morons."

Buffy described as being happy and at peace in this place; feeling warm, loved, finished, and complete. She quickly left with her team when she received a text about a possible solution.

The power revealed itself to be the very dimension, itself called "Twilight," that Buffy and Angel chose to abandon, and insisted that Angel and Buffy finish what they started. While there, he followed the scent of blood to a seniors' home, where he came across a deranged young man slaughtering the residents. [105], Angel finally understood that he would never be able to completely stop the forces of evil, but that he could temporarily sever the Senior Partners' hold on Earth and stop their apocalyptic plans. Angel returns to The Oracles, who agree to turn back time so that Angel, accepting the entire cost of the bargain, can kill the Mohra before its blood makes him human. Resenting the humiliation he felt because Buffy had made him feel like a human being, Angel took pleasure in tormenting the Slayer and her friends. Aliases [41] Drusilla noted that "Angelus" was always whispering to "Angel" in the back of his mind to encourage him to submit to his vampiric instincts, although he rejected this idea and claimed that he was used to ignoring what people have to say to him. They were interrupted by Eyghon, who had tracked them down at Alasdair's place. Angel was also established as detached from reality, and didn't find many things in his life he could look forward to.

The two share a friendly moment together, Angel telling him that he wanted to stay in London and help the mutated people who needed guiding.

[56] Later, when Faith began working as a double agent for the Mayor Richard Wilkins, the duo attempted to remove Angel's soul once again and appeared to succeed; however, Angel only acted as if he was soulless as part of a plan that exposed Faith's new loyalties. Angel stabs the demon, but it retreats to the sewers. After the American crew had captured the German submarine, the vampires had escaped their bonds and murdered most of the crew; the few survivors sought refuge behind a locked hatch.

This was made most obvious when he allowed himself to be manipulated by Twilight for what he believed was the greater good. [citationneeded]. Feeling anguish at his failure to save Darla and fury at Wolfram & Hart for their machinations, Angel fired his crew[68] and embarked on a vendetta against both the law firm and the newly reunited Darla and Drusilla. They eventually came across dog-like demons who worshiped Connor; wanting to help them, Connor stayed behind. [98][36][39], Angel was also a fan of pop culture to some degree, enjoying Barry Manilow's music[171] and being a fan of ice hockey;[172] indeed, part of the reason he originally founded Angel Investigations was because of his liking of old detective novels. As a result of this, Connor's memories were returned to him and he remembered that Angel was his father. After she witnessed him talking to Drusilla in a park, Angel told Buffy and the Scoobies that he was Drusilla's sire. [112] Initially alone in the fight, he was soon aided by his old friends, Spike, Illyria, Connor, Gwen, Nina, the Groosalugg, Lorne, and Wesley,[113] and successfully tricked the Lords into killing themselves with the Hagan Shafts. [155] Angel had been seen many times to be obsessively single-minded in his plans or goals, to the point that he occasionally disregarded his moral code and crossed a line; he could be impulsive, often running blindly down any path he believed would help redeem himself and not bothering to think about the consequences of his actions until it was too late,[citationneeded] something that Willow criticized him over. The trio formed Angel Investigations, a private detective agency whose mission statement was to "help the helpless." As they fight, the Mohra demon cuts Angel.

The Fairweather sisters informed them that Ethan Rayne had been on the guest book for the funeral, much to Angel and Faith's confusion, because he had been killed by General Voll during the Twilight crisis.

First, Doyle, a half-Brachen demon and fellow Irishman with precognitive abilities was sent by the Powers That Be to be Angel's guide. The couple was then apprehended by Spike and his followers, who planned to have him watch Buffy die at the hands of the newly arisen demon.[49]. Though initially reluctant to deceive Buffy, Angel assumed the identity of "Twilight" and gathered a cabal of those most likely to oppose the Slayer army, consisting of several demons, members of the United States military such as General Voll, and Lieutenant Moulter, as well as Buffy's old enemies Warren Mears and Amy Madison, and her ex-boyfriend Agent Riley Finn, the latter of whom was acting as a double agent for Buffy, though "Twilight" was aware of this fact.

"[50], The distinction between his states with and without a soul was sometimes referred as separate entities. He refused again and apologized for what he had done to her; however, she declared that she no longer cared. Although Angel denied this claim at the time, the fight ended when Spike defeated Angel. In addition to his proficiency in many forms of martial arts, he mastered many varieties of weapons, favoring broadswords and sometimes axes. He used various enchantments to keep up the appearance that he was still a vampire and heal the worst of his injuries. Angel quickly brought up the possibility that the same Lorophage demon that had killed Giles' friends when he was younger was responsible for the bouts of psychosis blighting the city, as victims of Lorophage attacks oftentimes lost their sanity as a result of their trauma being brought to the surface too suddenly. Portrayed by [57], Angel and Buffy tried to date, going to the movies, more scenic patrols, and picnics in the cemetery. [60], Eventually, Doyle, Angel's trusted friend and sole connection to the Powers That Be, sacrificed himself to save a group of innocents, leading Angel to become even more protective of those few he held dear.

Meanwhile, hotel staff and residents, including Judy, continued to become warped and Angel decided to help. She turned him down, but when the man showed up looking for him, she and Angel were forced to fight him off; in a moment of rage she cut off the man's hand, and in remorse, fled the scene.

That would make Faith the only one alive in the present who knows. He disclosed that he would work Giles' soul rather than his body; while Faith still seemed skeptical of his plan, she agreed to help him. When Angel and Spike fought over the Cup of Perpetual Torment supposedly the key that would determine which of them was the true vampire champion Spike told Angel: "You had a soul forced on you. Angel absorbs a fragment of Giles' soul from the Scythe. [12] Bedraggled and dirty, looking like a beggar, he attacked and tried to feed on a woman, but was unable to, hampered by his restored conscience.[40]. However, given Angel's currently tense relationship with Spike, as well as the Scoobies' current hostility towards him, Buffy asked Angel to help protect the Slayers from the currently-attacking demons while she went with Spike to investigate his claims.[121]. Giles explains to the others that the current events tie in to a prophecy of a supernatural upheaval where the world shall be recreated after a Slayer changes the world, with Buffy and Angel having been selected to serve as the catalysts of that change.

After a deep-to-heart with Faith, the plan was set in motion and the spell was chanted. Angel regained consciousness at some point, but did not make it apparent until Spike admitted that he had always admired Angel for his ability to move on from Buffy. It's my destiny."
